4. Assisted living housing, given the lack of automobile use by the tenants, creates a far lower traffic generation than other types of housing that would be allowed on the parcel by right. 5. The site is narrow in dimension, and is encumbered by a storm sewer along the north property boundary, limiting the site buildable areas. 6. Given the restrictions in buildable area, no reasonable construction would fit on the property, including parking and other site improvements, without flexibility in setbacks and building location. 7. The conditions on the property noted herein support the reasonable use of the property as an assisted living facility with a narrower side yard setback. 8. The nature of the use creates a demand for parking that is much lower than what would otherwise be required for underground parking supply on the site. 9. The development of underground parking for the facility would constitute a wasted cost given the low parking demand for assisted living units. 10. These factors support the approval of variances to side setback and to parking requirements in the R-4 district. 11. The proposed use, with the conditions attached to an approval as recommended herein, constitute a reasonable use of property, and one which is least likely of the allowable uses on the site to create unreasonable burdens on the neighborhood or on the public facilities in the area. NOW THEREFORE MAY IT BE RESOVLED, that the City Council of the City of St. Anthony Village accepts the findings and recommendations documented in the staff report and approves Conditional Use Permit and Variances as shown on the plans submitted on or before February 17, 2025 as supplemented, at 0 Foss Road, with the following conditions: 1. The applicant maintains a policy that prohibits tenants from storing personal vehicles on the premises. 2. No conversion of the property to any type of housing that is not specifically designated for assisted living may occur without a new Conditional Use Permit demonstrating compliance with all of the terms of the applicable zoning in effect, including unit count, parking supply, and other factors. 3. The retaining wall is designed by an engineer if it remains more than four feet in height. 4. The trash enclosure is constructed of materials that match those of the principal building. 5. The applicant modifies the south building exposure to add architectural features and interest to both the wall and roofline, subject to staff review and approval. 6. The applicant works with the City to sign the emergency vehicle lane along Foss Road for no parking. 7. The City Engineer reviews and approves the grading and drainage plans. Substantive modifications to the site plan resulting from grading plan changes may result in additional official review of the proposed plan. 8. The weed-barrier material under the deck is pervious fabric to ensure compliance with impervious surface regulations.
