RE: Development 65 – Joint Work session – January 21, 2020
Senior Housing PUD Concept Plan
NAC FILE: 323.01 – 20.01
This summary is intended to provide an overview of the project proposal and some of the
primary elements for Work session discussion. The applicants will have a presentation available
for review at the meeting.
Potential Issues/Elements for Work session Discussion
• Project Description. The applicants are seeking a PUD proposal that would be
developed on a parcel of approximately 4 acres along Stinson Parkway. The parcel in
question would be subdivided from the Urban Grove (formerly “Lowry Grove”)
manufactured home park property. Development 65 proposes a 125-unit mixed senior
facility that would have access from Stinson, and share parking and service access with
the Urban Grove development.
• Current Land Use and Designations. The current land use for this portion of the Urban
Grove property is largely vacant. The manufactured home park development is
occurring largely on the southeast portion of the 15.4 acre parcel. The entire parcel is
currently guided for high density residential use, but is zoned R-1, Single Family
Residential. Compatibility between land use guidance and zoning district would be one
of the implementation actions following final ratification of the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan.
• PUD Flexibility – Density. The proposed senior apartment building is 125 units, on 4
acres – a density of approximately 30 units per acre. The City’s Comprehensive Plan
allows for projects of up to 40 units per acre, while the R-4 Zoning District would
accommodate just 25 units per acre without PUD flexibility. The R-4 District is used as a
comparison district for purposes of establishing the baseline zoning requirements as it
would be the zoning district applied if PUD were not being pursued.
• PUD Flexibility – Joint Access. One of the aspects of PUD flexibility being sought in this
design is the shared access and travel route from Kenzie Terrace on the south boundary
of the Urban Grove property. This private drive is shown to provide access to the
parking and service portions of the Senior Residential building, as well as to the Urban
Grove private streets and proposed garage buildings. The plans do not, at this stage,
illustrate the subdivision and property line between the two development sites. As a
part of the project, a subdivision plat will be necessary, and the two projects will need to
incorporate shared access and maintenance agreements covering the use and upkeep of
that private access drive.
Staff has noted to the developers that a project which accomplishes several other goals
– such as affordable housing, various design and/or architectural elements could be
factors in consideration of the PUD approach being sought for this project. It is staff’s
understanding, based on early discussions with the applicants, that TIF assistance will be
requested as a part of the project. The details and scope of that request is not a subject
of the planning review, but will be important to understand early on in the project
discussions. Public financing consideration should parallel the zoning review.
• Site Plan – Apartment Development.
o Setbacks. The plan shows setbacks for the proposed building of approximately
80 feet from Stinson, approximately 70 feet from the south common property
line with Bremer Bank, and more than 150 feet from the north line, which is an
alley serving single family homes along 27th Avenue NE.
o Impervious Surface. The concept plan does not provide an impervious surface
coverage estimate. The R-4 standard would be 50%. Given stormwater issues in
this area of the community, the applicants should plan to stay well under the
50% impervious threshold.
o Parking. The site plan shows surface parking on the west (Stinson) side of the
building of approximately 50 spaces, and an addition 22 spaces on the east side
of the building, presumably for staff. Underground parking is also planned,
however, total quantities are not indicated. The Zoning Ordinance requires 1
space per 3 units for “retirement homes”, which would mandate at least 42
spaces. Given the mixed nature of the units (independent living, assisted living,
and memory care, a ratio of approximately one space per unit should be
preserved.
o Access. The proposed plan utilized the existing access point to Stinson, and the
referenced shared access to Kenzie Terrace. The Stinson Parkway access would
be used for access to the main parking area and entrance, as well as to the
parking garage on the south end of the building. Given the Minneapolis Park
Board’s concerns over use and traffic on the Parkway, consideration should be
given to providing garage access from the internal private street shared with
Urban Grove, rather than the front parking area from Stinson.
• Other Considerations
o The applicants have designed the surface parking in the front of the building to
accommodate a band of landscaping along the Stinson Parkway trail, as well as
additional front yard green planting area. The setback of the building from
Stinson accommodates this space. Staff’s recommendations include avoidance
on long “dead-end” drive/parking areas where visitors would have difficulty
turning around when the parking is full.
o The access and “dead-end” traffic pattern would typically also apply to
emergency vehicle access in these areas as well. An apparent emergency vehicle
egress lane is shown to the north of the front drive. The City’s public safety staff
will comment on these issues further as the project goes forward.
o Architecturally, the building is proposed to be a 4-story structure with a flat roof.
The concept plans show a series of articulated roof line parapet extensions. The
building wall is a combination of recessed and forward extended sections, with
balconies either recessed or extending outward, depending on the building wall
section. Materials are not specified at this stage.
For processing and next-step purposes, the applicants would seek a “Preliminary Plan” PUD
request, with more fully detailed plans and support materials. To advance to that stage, the
Planning Commission and City Council can use this Concept discussion to identify preferences in
project density, location, site planning, and architecture, along with any other relevant issues,
such as affordability and sustainability, that would be important for the applicants to
incorporate into their next-stage plans.
As noted previously, clarity as to financial considerations should also be included as a part of
the discussion. It will be important that planning and zoning aspects of the City’s review do not
advance too far beyond the expectations for financial assistance.
