MEMORANDUM To: St. Anthony Village Planning Commission From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date: Planning Commission Meeting – August 18, 2020 NAC Project No. 323.01 - 20.14 Request: Request for a Preliminary Plan Planned Unit Development – Stinson Apartments Property Address: 3725 Stinson Lake Road Property PID: 313023330209 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff has reviewed the project for land use compliance with the intent and policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and for zoning consistency with the R-4, Multiple Family Residential District as a baseline. The Comprehensive Plan promotes high density multiple family residential uses of up to 40 units per acre upon the subject site. The proposed PUD meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for the majority of the baseline standards. The principal areas of flexibility which have been requested under the PUD include the following: 1) Residential Density. The allowance of a residential density greater than 40 units per acre upon the subject site. Specifically, a density of 44.7 units per acre is proposed (38 units on 0.85 acres of land). For comparison purposes, the baseline R-4 zoning district allows up to 25 units per acre without PUD flexibility. 2) Side Yard Setback. A side yard setback less than 30 feet. The City’s R-4 District imposes a 30-foot building setback requirement along side yards which are adjacent to public rights-of-way. A 20-foot setback is proposed on the north side of the apartment building (along 38th Avenue NE).
