____________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for January 6th, 2021 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\20-022 New Perspectives Senior Living - CUP, PUD, SP, ZCA\PC Packets <br />Page 8 of 17 <br /> <br />C. Building Height - Flexibility requested <br />Section 1305.04 of the City Code defines building height as “the vertical distance from the average <br />elevation of the grade along a face of a building to the highest point of the roof surface of flat <br />roofs, the deck line of mansard roofs, or the average height between the eaves and the highest ridge <br />of gable, hip, or gambrel roofs.” These measurements are illustrated in the drawing on the next <br />page. <br /> <br />The Applicant is proposing a building that would be four (4) stories in height with a pitched roof <br />design. The proposed pitched roof provides residents with a home-like residential aesthetic, where <br />as a flat roof provides an institutional look and feel. The proposed facility would have a building <br />height of 55 feet as measured from the finished floor elevation to the midpoint. Under the City <br />Zoning Code, a building in the B-2 district can have a maximum height of up to 50 feet to the <br />midpoint, so the Applicants are requesting flexibility for an additional 5 feet in height. <br />
