MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council Charlie Yunker, City Manager From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date: City Council Meeting – April 13, 2021 NAC Project No. 323.01 – 21.04 Request: Request for a Final Plan Planned Unit Development for a Senior Housing Project, including PUD District Zoning and PUD Development Agreement Property Address: 2501 Lowry Avenue NE Property PID: 07-029-23-23-0001 (part) 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. In summary, the Comprehensive Plan promotes use of the subject property for high density multiple family residential uses of up to 40 units per acre as allowable in this area. The applicant is seeking the PUD, consisting of 135 units of “aging-in-place” senior housing on 4.25 acres, a density of 31.8 units per acre. In this report, staff reviews the submitted materials for Final Plan PUD against the comments and conditions made of the Preliminary Plan PUD approval granted by the City Council this past winter. The Final Plan PUD proceeds directly to the City Council for consideration, and does not require a separate Planning Commission review or public hearing. As noted in the Preliminary PUD, the project 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) Building height (code is 35 feet/3 stories); applicant proposes approximately 56 feet to top of parapet and 4 stories. (2) Lot coverage/impervious surface (R-4 code limits this to 50%); applicant’s proposal is approximately 50.5%. (3) Density (R-4 code limits this to approximately 24 units per acre, Comprehensive Plan calls for 20-40 units per acre); applicant is proposing just under 32units per acre. 51
