33 Types of Units—Three-hundred eighty people are expected to reside in the 251 units. There will be a mix of one bedroom, one bedroom with den, two bedroom, and two bedroom with den units. All of the units will be for sale. Affordability—All of the units are expected to be market rate units. None of them are expected to be affordable to households with median incomes less than 50% of AMI. Parking Spaces—There will be 89 parking spaces (1.4 spaces per unit) in each garage. That amounts to 356 spaces for the four buildings. In addition, there are 64 outside spaces on private property. The total amount of spaces is 420 (1.7 spaces per unit). There are 22 spaces along 39`h Avenue that cannot be credited to the development because they are in the public right-of-way and can be used by anyone. Planner's Analysis and Comments A PUD allows flexibility because of the large nature of the use. Some flexibility from normal city requirements is needed in order to approve this development. Parking-The number of parking stalls is less than would normally be allowed by code. Normally-502 spaces would be required. Four hundred and twenty are being provided. There are 22 spaces along 39th Avenue. However, these are on public right-of-way and cannot be used to satisfy parking requirements for the project. The developer has done several buildings similar to these. His experience is that many units are purchased by single individuals who live alone or, senior couples where there is just one driver. Therefore, the 1.7 spaces per unit is expected to be adequate. Appearance—The exact colors have not been defined yet. However, the color rendering indicates a rusty brick color compatible with other buildings in the PUD. The colors should be clarified by the time the Council approves the plan or delegated to staff in the same way the final approval of the materials was left to staff for the Wal-Mart building. ' Final Plat—The final plat is in conformance with the PUD and meets all the platting requirements of the City of St. Anthony. Summary It is recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Final Development Plan subject to the condition that that the color of exterior materials on the building be clarified prior to approval by the City Council. It is also recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the final plat.
