_____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for July 10, 2019 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-002 - Summit Development - PUD, CPA, RZ, PP, FP <br />Page 12 of 19 <br />F. Requirements for Parking, Loading, and Circulation – Section 1325.06 – Flexibly Requested <br />Parking requirements for senior living facilities are unique as not all tenants’ own vehicles. The <br />intention is to regulate senior independent, staff and visitor parking. The rational for this is <br />because memory care and assisted living residents generally do not have vehicles; therefore, the <br />parking demand for those uses will only need to support staff and visitor parking. <br />The zoning ordinance is silent on the matter of parking counts for multi-family senior living. The <br />zoning ordinance does require 1.1 parking stalls for every 1-bedroom dwelling unit and two (2) <br />stalls for two (2) or more bedroom dwelling units within a multi-family development. The <br />proposed project would require 145.5 stalls as shown in the table below. <br />Units <br />Unit <br />Counts <br />Required <br />Stalls <br />Number of <br />Stalls <br />Provided <br />Parking <br />Deficiency <br />1-bedroom units <br />(1.1 parking stalls)105 115.5 <br />102 -1432 or more bedrooms <br />(2 parking stalls)15 30 <br />Total 120 145.5 <br />However, the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) does have parking requirements for <br />residential senior independent living, assisted, memory care, or skilled nursing uses. The <br />ordinance requires one (1) stalls per unit for senior independent living units; 0.75 stalls per unit <br />for assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing units. <br />Units <br />Unit <br />Counts <br />Required <br />Stalls <br />Number of <br />Stalls <br />Provided <br />Parking <br />Deficiency <br />Independent living units <br />(1 parking stalls)61 61 <br />102 -3Assisted, memory care, or <br />skilled nursing units (.75 <br />parking stalls) <br />59 44.25 <br />Total 120 105.25 <br />The ordinance provides a provision for the City Council after recommendation by Planning <br />Commission to establish alternate parking requirements for uses not specifically noted. Staff <br />recommends utilizing the TRC parking requirements for residential senior independent living, <br />assisted, memory care, or skilled nursing uses as the required parking meets the demands of the <br />proposed use more adequately than the multi-family requirements. The proposed 102 parking <br />stalls should adequality support the proposed use. The maximum shift size is 20 employees and <br />that allot 82 stalls for residents and visitors. In addition, Walker Methodist is currently <br />proposing shuttle services for residents.
