Apartments offering housing choice for those truly independent. The Assisted Living suites create small neighborhoods of 18-20 units typically. The units open into common areas specific to that household giving a neighborhood within a community feeling. The common spaces include, living area, activity space, residential laundry, and dining space and serving kitchen as well as staff service areas. This household environment has evolved to assist in delivery of care through our Liberty :Personally Designed Living model that is guided by principles of independence, autonomy, respect, choice, empowerment and relationships. A Town Center connecting Apartments,Assisted Living and the Care Center becomes the backbone of the community and provides central places for gathering, dining, activities, chapel and exercise. This reconfiguration would result in the same number of units as currently exist on campus today. There are 396 units on site today and there would be 396 on the site as proposed. The triangle parcels west of Lake -- Johanna Blvd as proposed would add an additional 14 units of Senior Apartments to the campus as a whole. (There are currently 4 units of residential units on the properties so the next gain is 10 units.) The unit numbers current and proposed are as follows: Current Proposed Care Center 208 208 Assisted Suites 136 48 AL Memory Suites 33 36 Independent Sr. Apts. 19 68 Brownstone Sr. Apts. 0 36 Main Campus Total 396 396 Parcels West of Lake Johanna Blvd. Brownstone Sr. Apts 0 14 SF& Duplex Units 4 0 This portion results in the addition of 10 units to the project. Goals: The repositioning and redevelopment of the campus also allows PHS to address additional goals outside of resident needs and services. Parking Currently there are 250 surface parking spots on main campus. There are periods when there are staff and family members parking along Lake Johanna Blvd which is permitted but not desirable. The proposed site plan incorporates 358 parking spots on main campus which is 108 spots more than currently. The Independent Senior Apartments and Brownstones would have resident parking underground which accounts for about 100 spots. The remaining 258 would be surface parking which includes 22 additional spots added as requested by library staff to the count to accommodate parking for patrons of the Library. These spots are not designated as Library parking only as peak hours of operation for the Library are different from peak visitor hours for campus residents and staffing shifts. The Brownstone west of Lake Johanna Blvd which has 14 Senior Apartments would have underground parking for residents and surface parking for visitors.
