All Ayes, motion carried. Hugo Senior Housing Community — Site Plan Planner Rachel Juba, presented on the site plan for Hugo Senior Housing Community facility developed by National Senor Housing Services, LLC. The applicant is requesting approval of a site plan for a 100 unit, three story, and 99,200 square foot senior housing facility on a 5 acre parcel. The proposed site plan is located on a proposed lot within the plat for LaValle Fields. The property is located west of Lions Parks with access off of Finale Avenue across from 146th Street. The applicant is showing future phases on the site plan. Each addition will be required to formally apply for site plan approval for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council. The proposed site is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD). Juba presented on topics regarding building setbacks, height, coverage, parking, landscaping, lighting, fencing and screening, streets and access, trails, building architecture, signage, draining and grading, utilities, wetlands, and park dedication. Juba mentioned the City Code only has requirements for nursing homes and does not provide guidance for parking requirements for a senior housing facility that has various levels of care. The applicant is proposing to satisfy the parking requirements with a combination of above ground and below ground parking. Staff was comfortable with the way the applicant calculated the parking. The proposed monument and wall sign details were not provided in the site plan. The City will ensure that they comply with the sign ordinance.
