_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for March 20, 2017 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-009 - Lyngblomsten & North Heights Lutheran - Concept Review\Memos_Reports_17-009\CC Memo (03-20-17)_17-009.docx Page 3 of 4 center and gift shop are located. To the north of the town center would be the independent living and to the south would be the assisted living and then the skilled nursing. Parking is proposed to include underground parking stalls for all of the independent living units and 58 surface stalls for guests and employees. Lyngblomsten expects to have 100 employees with approximately 35 staff members (including the 2nd Half with Lyngblomsten staff) at its largest shift. If all of their employees drive to the site, then there would be only 23 parking stalls available for guests. The primary access to the site is proposed from Snelling Avenue and a secondary access would come from a connection to the North Heights’ parking lots and their internal circulation and accesses. The Lyngblomsten access onto Snelling Avenue will be located about 1,000 feet south of the North Heights’ Snelling Avenue access. The North Heights’ Snelling Avenue access is signed to prohibit right turns to limit traffic through the residential neighborhood between Snelling and Hamline Avenues. The Lyngblomsten plans would require six different requests: • Comprehensive Plan Amendment from P/I – Public & Institutional to HDR - High Density Residential • Rezoning from R-1- Single Family Residential District to R-4 – Multiple Dwelling District • Conditional Use Permit for a Nursing Home and Assisted Living Use • Planned Unit Development for Performance Standards Increases (at least height and density) • Preliminary Plat • Final Plat Below is a table of the R-4 – Multiple Dwelling District performance standards and which standards would likely be exceeded.
