help quantify the community benefit of your project.  If the project includes a residential component, indicate how the project contributes to the local municipality’s approved livable communities housing mix goals and benefits for the local community. Also complete the attached Table 3 – Housing Summary. The Village intends to redevelop the property for residential use. Three residential buildings and 693 parking stalls will be constructed; one building will support independent senior living, one building will support assisted senior living and memory care, and one building will support market-rate and affordable housing. Buildings will be three and four stories tall. Of the 693 proposed parking stalls, 407 stalls will be underground and 286 stalls will be surface parking. A unit matrix is provided in Table 3 – Housing Summary. The project will incorporate sustainable features and activities into building construction, cleanup, and water usage whenever feasible. A stormwater management collection and treatment system is proposed through a system of curbing, catch basins, underground conveyance, ponding, and bio-retention. This includes traditional at-grade ponds and below grade bio-filtration systems. The Village was the primary interested party and conducted market analysis in order to determine that the property be used residentially after development. The property is currently zoned R-1 Single Family Residential and will be rezoned to Planned Unit Development to accommodate a more flexible, creative, and efficient approach to land use. Preliminary approval for the project was granted by the City on March 27, 2018. The community will derive benefit from the redevelopment because it will provide a large amount of quality, high-density housing to an in-demand and livable area of the City. Prior to acquisition of the property and demolition, the property supported a blighted mobile home park with ageing structures spread inefficiently across 15 acres. By redeveloping and remediating the property, there will be vastly more housing available and the housing will be free of possible influence from soil, soil vapor and groundwater contamination and therefore safer for residents. This redevelopment will also create a significant tax base increase and create jobs at the property. The density proposed meets the Comprehensive Plan guidance for Multi-Family Residential properties, and the redevelopment is consistent with the City’s housing goals, which are to achieve the housing goals of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act and Livable Communities Act, to expand housing choices within the City, and integrate new development into existing neighborhoods (as found in their 2008 Comprehensive Plan). Redevelopment plans are attached. 84
