City Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 13, 2021 Page 3 Mr. Bob Kirmis reviewed the Final Plan PUD which will contain 135 dwelling units known as 1 aging in place units. The principal areas of flexibility which have been requested under the PUD 2 include: 3 1. Building height (code is 35 feet/3 stories); applicant proposes approximately 56 feet to top of 4 parapet and 4 stories. 5 2. Lot coverage/impervious surface (R-4 code limits this to 50%); applicant’s proposal is 6 approximately 50.5%. 7 3. Density (R-4 code limits this to approximately 24 units per acre, Comprehensive Plan calls 8 for 20-40 units per acre); applicant is proposing just under 32 units per acre. 9 10 The site plan relies on a shared driveway with the Urban Grove Manufactured Home Park, 11 extending from the east side of the building to Kenzie Terrace on the south. That shared 12 driveway (approximately .5 acres in area), would have the effect of reducing overall density to 13 approximately 28 units per acre if included in the subject property total. 14 15 Mr. Kirmis reviewed the landscaping and screening plan. The center drive lane has been 16 eliminated and was replaced with sidewalks. No changes have been proposed to the building 17 elevations. 18 19 Staff has reviewed the project for land use compliance with the intent and policies of the City’s 20 Comprehensive Plan, and for zoning consistency with the R-4, Multiple Family Residential 21 District as a baseline. The Comprehensive Plan promotes use of the subject property for high 22 density multiple family residential uses of up to 40 units per acre as allowable in this area. The 23 applicant is seeking the PUD, consisting of 135 units of “aging-in-place” senior housing on 4.25 24 acres, a density of 31.8 units per acre. 25 26 The final Plan PUD does not require a separate Planning Commission review or public hearing 27 and proceeds directly to the City Council for consideration. 28 29 The City Council approved the Preliminary Plan PUD at their February 9, 2021 meeting. Since 30 the approval, the applicant has submitted updated exterior plans, reflecting consistency with the 31 requirements of the Preliminary PUD approval. The standard of review for Final Plan 32 consideration is whether the proposed Final Plan submittals comply with the terms of the 33 Preliminary Plan approval. Staff believes that those conditions have been met, pending final plan 34 checks prior to permitting. Staff recommends adoption of the Development 65 PUD Zoning 35 District and approval of the Final Plan PUD with the noted condition. 36 37 Final verification of compliance with the terms noted herein and execution of the PUD 38 development agreement. Substantive changes will require additional review, including 39 reconsideration by City Council. This recommendation is based on a finding that the proposal 40 with the conditions cited, is consistent with the requirements for PUD consideration, with the 41 long-term objectives of the recommendations and policies of the St. Anthony Comprehensive 42 Plan. 43 44 Mayor Stille stated this project has met the conditions that have been expressed during the 45 process. Mr. Kirmis stated the development agreement is still in draft form. 46 13
