<br />____________________________________________________________________________________________ <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 11 of 17 <br /> <br />1,407.15 caliper inches of new trees. Tree planning 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. <br /> <br />G. Tree Selection – Meets Requirements <br />The proposed landscape plan includes a variety of tree species, including maples, oaks and <br />evergreens, ranging in size from two and half (2.5) to six (6) caliper inches. This is consistent with <br />ordinance requirements. The Applicant is proposing to plant six (6) to twelve (12) foot tall <br />evergreens. <br /> <br />F. Landscaped Area and Perennials and Shrubberies – Meets Requirements <br />Zoning Code requires 35 percent of the site to be landscaped or 97,574 square feet. The <br />landscaping plan shows that the total landscaped area provided on the site is 143,858 square feet. <br />The Zoning Code requires a minimum of 10 percent of the total landscaped area to be covered <br />with perennials and/or shrubbery. The total landscaped area on the site is 97,574 square feet, <br />resulting in the need for a minimum of 9,757 square feet of perennial and shrubbery cover. The <br />proposed perennial and shrub planting beds includes more than 17,350 square feet. <br /> <br />G. 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 because <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 145.5 stalls as shown in the table below. <br /> <br />Units Unit Counts Required <br />Stalls <br />Number of <br />Stalls Provided <br />Parking <br />Deficiency <br />Residential Facility NA 45 <br />95 -107 <br />1-bedroom units <br />(1.1 parking stalls) 75 81 <br />2 or more bedrooms <br />(2 parking stalls) 38 76 <br />Total 113 202 <br /> <br />There are ninety-one (91) parking spaces provided. The Applicant is proposing 62 above ground <br />and 29 underground parking spaces. The underground parking is for independent living residents <br />and staff. New Perspective Senior Living provided staff with the formulas they use when <br />determining the parking needs for their facilities (Attachment G) and below is their calculations <br />for the proposed project.
