The City Parking Ordinance requires 30-foot setbacks when parking is adjacent to public rights-of-way. Staff have determined that the curb cuts are far enough from the corners of 37th Avenue N.E. of each affected sidestreet that it will not pose a hazard to motorists. If the owners' variance request to park in the parking setback is denied, they will then be required to obtain a parking variance for eight spaces. Because of financing requirements established through HUD, subdivision of the property was done earlier this year creating separate lots for Chandler Place and St. Anthony Health Care Center.. This was done to insure that funds to be used for the expansion went to the St. Anthony Health Care Center only. But in creating two separate lots to facilitate financing of the proposed addition, the existing facilities are in close proximity to each other. The proposed addition to the St. Anthony Health Care Center will now require a .25 foot variance for the rear yard and a seven foot sideyard setback in order to be constructed. The proposed expansion will also require the owners to also obtain a variance for lot coverage. Because of the need for increased parking and the proposed addition, the total coverage by impervious surfaces of both lots is 123,401 square feet; the combined total square footage of the lots is 218,980, which translates to a lot coverage of 56%. The City. Ordinance allows a maximum of 50% lot coverage in.an R-4 zoning district. Therefore, the owners are required to obtain a lot coverage variance of 13,911 square feet. RECOMMENDATION. Staff recommends that this request.for a Conditional Use Permit for the expansion of use for the St. Anthony Health Care Center be approved contingent upon obtaining approval for the variance requests described herein. Mr. Miller held a neighborhood meeting to discuss plans for the expansion. Staff have received no responses from any of the property owners or neighbors.
