The memory care and utility/kitchen portion of the building is proposed to be one story at 28 feet in height. The PUD allows the building to be 50 feet in height. The site plan complies with the building height PUD requirements. Building Coverage and Lot Coverage The property is 5 acres in size. The building foot print is 43,505 square feet and covers 20% of the lot. The impervious surface including the building is 58,102 and covers 47% of the lot. The site plan complies with the coverage requirements. Parking The applicant is proposing to satisfy the parking requirements with a combination of above ground and below ground parking. The City Code does not provide guidance for parking requirements for a senior housing facility that has various levels of care. The City code only has requirements for nursing homes. The applicant used the following parking space per unit calculation: Independent: 1 parking space per unit Assisted: %z parking space per unit Memory: 1 parking space per unit plus 5 Employees: Van/handicap accessible: 29 parking spaces 25 parking spaces 10 parking spaces 10 parking spaces 5 parking spaces Total: 79 parking spaces The applicant is proposing 89 parking spaces for the senior housing facility (50 ground level and 29 below ground) as shown on the plan. In reviewing how other cities calculate senior housing parking standards based on various levels of care, staff is comfortable with how the parking space requirements were calculated. The parking lot for the senior housing facility is oriented east of the building with additional parking on the west side including the underground parking area. The areas are connected by a private driveway on the south side of the building. Landscaping Section 90-181 of the Zoning Ordinance provides landscaping requirements for developments.
