Required Off-Street Parking Spaces In the approved Master PUD, Presbyterian Homes proposed to construct 357 parking stalls as part of the redevelopment project. To date, 173 surface spaces and 100 underground stalls have been constructed. Phase II of the project will include an additional 40 surface spaces and 66 underground stalls. Presbyterian Homes is also planning to construct eight angled parking spaces along the drive accessing the McKnight Building to accommodate overflow visiting parking. After the completion of these additional parking areas in Phase II, the total number of parking stalls on the site will be 387. Of this total, there will be 16 accessible surface spaces and 5 accessible underground spaces. Staff reviewed the required off-street parking regulations for multiple family dwelling uses to ensure adequate parking was being provided specifically for the Brownstone Buildings. City Code requires that 1.1 spaces be provided per one-bedroom dwelling unit and 2 spaces per two- bedroom units. A total of 12 one-bedroom and 28 two-bedroom units have been proposed. Based on the Code requirements, a minimum of 69.2 spaces would need to be provided. 2. Traffic Review The original Master PUD in Planning Case 10-012 was reviewed by the engineers from the cities of Roseville and Arden Hills, as well as the Ramsey County Traffic Engineer. No concerns regarding the project’s impact on traffic in the area were raised at that time. Presbyterian Homes provided existing and anticipated traffic counts with their application so that staff could better evaluate the trips generated by the site. The proposed additional four independent senior apartments in the Brownstone Buildings are not expected to substantially alter the traffic counts provided in 2010. While the additional independent senior units will likely generate more day-time trips throughout the day by retired residents, the elimination of the four hospice care units will reduce the number of peak am and pm trips generated by employees of the facility. The number of residents in the Brownstone Buildings relying on the County Road D driveway to access the site is expected to be approximately 30. There are 20 units in the building facing County Road D and Presbyterian Homes has stated that typically half of the units are occupied by a single resident and half by couples. 3. Additional Review The Building Official, City Engineer, and Fire Marshall have reviewed the submitted application and have no additional comments regarding the proposed reconfiguration of the Brownstone Buildings. All final grading, erosion, and utility plans will be subject to approval by the City City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 8, 2014 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-031 - PUD Amendment - Presbyterian Homes\Memos_14-031 Page 10 of 15
