_____________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for July 10, 2019 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-002 - Summit Development - PUD, CPA, RZ, PP, FP Page 12 of 19 F. Requirements for Parking, Loading, and Circulation – Section 1325.06 – Flexibly Requested Parking requirements for senior living facilities are unique as not all tenants’ own v ehicles. The intention is to regulate senior independent, staff and visitor parking. The rational for this is because memory care and assisted living residents generally do not have vehicles; therefore, the parking demand for those uses will only need to support staff and visitor parking. The zoning ordinance is silent on the matter of parking counts for multi-family senior living. The zoning ordinance does require 1.1 parking stalls for every 1-bedroom dwelling unit and two (2) stalls for two (2) or more bedroom dwelling units within a multi-family development. The proposed project would require 145.5 stalls as shown in the table below. Units Unit Counts Required Stalls Number of Stalls Provided Parking Deficiency 1-bedroom units (1.1 parking stalls) 105 115.5 102 -143 2 or more bedrooms (2 parking stalls) 15 30 Total 120 145.5 However, the TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) does have parking requirements for residential senior independent living, assisted, memory care, or skilled nursing uses. The ordinance requires one (1) stalls per unit for senior independent living units; 0.75 stalls per unit for assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing units. Units Unit Counts Required Stalls Number of Stalls Provided Parking Deficiency Independent living units (1 parking stalls) 61 61 102 -3 Assisted, memory care, or skilled nursing units (.75 parking stalls) 59 44.25 Total 120 105.25 The ordinance provides a provision for the City Council after recommendation by Planning Commission to establish alternate parking requirements for uses not specifically noted. Staff recommends utilizing the TRC parking requirements for residential senior independent living, assisted, memory care, or skilled nursing uses as the required parking meets the demands of the proposed use more adequately than the multi-family requirements. The proposed 102 parking stalls should adequality support the proposed use. The maximum shift size is 20 employees and that allot 82 stalls for residents and visitors. In addition, Walker Methodist is currently proposing shuttle services for residents.
