Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes February 26, 2018 Page 3 housing units proposed on the site, comprised of three buildings of multifamily housing. While 1 the floor plans currently show 414 units, the developer is requesting the ability to re-configure 2 the floor plans and unit sizes and number within the current building footprints proposed, up to a 3 hard cap of 430 units. This results in 28 units per acre. 4 5 The independent senior building (Building A) is proposed to include approximately 61 units of 6 studios, 1 bedrooms and 2 bedrooms and is 45.5 feet in height. Building B, consisting of assisted 7 living senior housing, is proposed to have approximately 128 units, which range in size from 8 very small, memory care units to larger 2-bedroom units. This building is proposed to be 45.5 9 feet in height. The general occupancy rental building, Building C is proposed to have a mix of 10 studio (approximately 77), 1 bedrooms (100), 2 bedrooms (36) and 3 bedrooms (12). Building C 11 is proposed to be 44 feet in height. These exact breakdowns are subject to change, based on final 12 market studies and plans. 13 14 There are a total of 693 designated parking stalls proposed for the development. These include 15 407 enclosed parking stalls and 286 surface stalls. The redevelopment proposal includes two 16 storm water retention ponds proposed at grade. The City Engineer has reviewed the surface 17 water management plan and submitted comments. The comments were provided for Commission 18 review. Trails are proposed throughout the development to connect with existing sidewalks and 19 to provide inter-site recreational opportunities. The plan proposes to connect to the existing 20 sewer, water, and storm water facilities located under Kenzie Terrace and Stinson Parkway. 21 22 Ms. Rothstein reviewed the zoning guidance. The site is currently zoned R-1 – Single Family, 23 which is a zoning district that allows for detached single family uses. The applicant is requesting 24 to rezone the site to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The intent of a PUD zoning designation 25 is “to create a more flexible, creative, and efficient approach to the use of land”, and may include 26 a greater use variety and dimensional flexibility than the underlying zoning district(s) would 27 allow. 28 29 Ms. Rothstein reviewed the City Code section §152.203. Upon review of the proposal, the only 30 deviation found from the standards of the R-4 Multiple Family Residential district is the height 31 of the buildings. Maximum height in the R-4 zoning district is 35 feet, and the maximum height 32 of the proposed highest building is 45.5 feet. Staff deemed the preliminary plat submission 33 complete after reviewing the submitted elements against the required information listed in 34 §151.02. Ms. Rothstein provided a summary of the proposal for each element of the preliminary 35 plat and preliminary PUD site plan. 36 37 Site Element Housing Type Total Units Height 38 Building A Senior Independent 61 3 story peaked roof, 39 housing 31’5” to main eave, 40 45.5 feet total 41 Building B Senior housing 128 3 story peaked roof, 42 31’5” to main eave, 43 45.5 feet total 44 Building C Market-rate 225 4 story flat roof, 44’ 45 total 46
