The Applicant is seeking feedback from the City Council on the <br />concept plan in advance of the full submission which would include a land use application for <br />items such as a Subdivision, Conditional Use Permit, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, and <br />Planned Unit Development. <br /> <br />The Concept Plan Review process is an opportunity for the City Council to provide comments <br />and questions regarding proposed developments. A concept review is considered advisory and is <br />nonbinding to the City and Applicant (Section 1320.14, Subd 4 of the Zoning Code). No formal <br />action can be taken at a Work Session. A formal application will be subject to the full review <br />process, including a public hearing with Planning Commission and City Council review. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Trident Development is proposing a 115-125 unit senior apartment development (apartments <br />only, the proposed will not have an assisted living or memory care component) on the northwest <br />side of the North Heights Lutheran Church property at 1700 Highway 96 West. Prior to this <br />submission, the Applicant held a neighborhood meeting on July 29, 2021 in order to garner <br />feedback from the adjacent landowners on the proposed site development. The Applicant has <br />included a summary of the meeting comments as part of this submission. Public comments and <br />questions were primarily regarding traffic, access, impacts on neighborhood (i.e. property values <br />and Royal Hills Park), and noise. <br />
