<br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for January 25, 2021 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\20-022 New Perspectives Senior Living - CUP, PUD, SP, ZCA\CC Packet\PH <br /> <br />Page 7 of 10 <br />G. Tree Mitigation - Flexibility requested <br />City Code Section 1325.055 outlines the Tree Preservation Ordinance. The Applicant submitted a <br />Tree Preservation Plan that included a tree survey of the existing trees on site. The existing site <br />has 3,837 caliper inches of significant trees. The Applicant is proposing to remove 3,127 caliper <br />inches. The ordinance allows removal of 312.7 caliper inches without replacement. Removal of <br />the remaining 2,814.3 caliper inches of trees requires mitigation at a ratio of 1:2 replacement, or <br />1,407.15 caliper inches of new trees. Tree planting onsite is limited due to existing and required <br />stormwater ponding. In response the Applicant is proposing to plant 187 trees, with a total of 558 <br />caliper inches. However, the Applicant is proposing a cash contribution of $20,000.00 in lieu of <br />replacement. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />H. Parking - 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 that <br />memory care and assisted living residents generally do not have vehicles; therefore, the parking <br />demand for those uses will only need to support staff and visitor parking. In addition, senior living <br />facilities require a mixture of parking requirement for the different uses onsite. The proposed use <br />includes Multi-family Dwelling and Residential Facility or Group Home. <br /> <br />The number of off-street parking spaces required for a Residential Facility or Group Home is one <br />(1) space for every four (4) residents plus one (1) for each employee on major shift plus one (1) <br />for each on-call medical professional or 45 parking stalls. The minimum number of parking <br />spaces required for a multiple family dwelling use in City Code is 1.1 spaces per efficiency and <br />one (1) bedroom dwelling units and two (2) for each two (2) plus bedroom dwelling units. The <br />proposed project would require 202 stalls. The submitted plans indicate 66 surface parking stalls <br />and 29 enclosed parking stalls for a total of 95.
