<br /> Svecial Use Permit Amendment <br /> The applicant has requested that the Planning Commission review a Special Use Permit e <br /> Amendment to allow a 13,156 square foot addition to the south end of the McKnight Care <br /> Center. <br /> Overview <br /> The applicant is proposing a Special Use Permit (SUP) Amendment to allow for an addition to <br /> the south end of the McKnight Care Center. Currently the McKnight Care Center houses 208 <br /> skilled care residents. The State of Minnesota granted an exception to the Nursing Home <br /> Moratorium to allow for the changes to occur. The proposed addition would allow Presbyterian <br /> Homes to eliminate twelve (12) 3-bed rooms and move to a configuration of single bed rooms <br /> and 2-bed rooms, allow for separate dining areas, and add a fourth floor rooftop garden. While <br /> the addition work would take place Pres. Homes would also take the opportunity to update the <br /> look ofthe interior spaces. <br /> The addition is proposed to maintain the existing west building line or in some places come two <br /> feet closer to Lake Johanna Boulevard, still meeting the City's setbacks, and would use exterior <br /> materials that coordinate with the existing building. The number of residents at the McKnight <br /> Care Center would not change; they would simply be in different room configurations. Also, the <br /> number of employees would stay the same. There would be excavation along the west side of <br /> the building into the hill to allow for adequate space and light to resident rooms. The trees along <br /> the west property line should not be affected; any other trees that would be affected and cannot e <br /> be moved would be replaced with new plantings. No new exterior signage would be added as <br /> part ofthis project. <br /> Following are some tables with pertinent information: <br /> Resident Bed Count <br /> Floor Number of Existing Beds Number of New Beds <br /> First Floor 16 28 <br /> Second Floor 60 61 <br /> Third Floor 60 61 <br /> ---------~- <br /> Fourth Floor 70 58 <br /> Total 208 208 <br /> BuildinJ!
