(E) Language added here from State statutes that limit the use of CUP conditions. A state licensed day care facility serving from 13 through 16 persons provided conditions are necessary to protect public health, safety, and welfare, and similar to the conditions required and applied to other conditional uses in the district; and (F) Nursing home. (G) A CUP provision is established here to allow buildings of greater height and density than the base R-4 district which is 3 stories and effectively about 24 units per acre. Projects exceeding those limits may be allowed under this CUP process, with the conditions noted, as well as the any additional conditions noted related to the Comprehensive Plan or the character of the neighborhood. This provision is intended to establish a more straightforward process for the development of multi- family housing per Comp plan goals (such as density), avoiding the PUD zoning process, but retaining the ability of the City to individually process and review each project. The PUD zoning process would continue to be available to project developers who seek additional zoning flexibility outside of the limitations of the district. It should be noted that the creation of this clause slightly lessens the City’s discretion related to multi- family housing – Conditional Uses are a presumed acceptable use, subject to the conditions to be applied. PUD zoning grants greater discretion to the City, but is a more complex process, and sometimes is limited by the lack of more explicit standards. Multi-family housing which exceeds the height and density standards of this section, provided that: (1) Maximum height shall be limited to sixty (60) fifty (50) feet and no more than five (5) four (4) stories (parking garages that are constructed which are at least 50% below natural grade shall not count as a “story” for the purposes of this section); (2) Density shall be limited to between twenty (20) and forty (40) unit per acre; (3) Multi-family housing constructed under this provision shall be required to meet setbacks which are double those of this Section; (4) Such housing shall be located on a parcel that is within four hundred (400) feet of a public transit stop. Such housing shall provide off-street parking of no less than 1.1 spaces per bedroom, or 1.5 spaces per unit, whichever is greater, no less than 50% of which shall be underground or under the principal building; (5) Such housing located on a parcel more than four hundred (400) feet from a public transit stop may be allowed, but shall provide off-street parking of at least 2.0 spaces per unit, no less than 50% of which shall be underground or under the principal building; (6) Additional conditions deemed necessary by the CIty Council to support the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the conditions found in the immediate neighborhood of the proposed development. (H) See the comments noted above for Multi-Family housing in Subd (G). Multi-family housing restricted to units which are occupied by at least one senior citizen 55 years of age and older, provided that: (1) The development provides at least 75% of its required parking underground or under the building; 24
