WHEREAS, the Developer submitted a completed application "Completed Application
which included a request that the City Council approve a rezoning of the Property from R -2
(single and two family residential district) to R -4 (multiple dwelling district);
WHEREAS, the Completed Application was reviewed by the Planning Commission at a
public hearing conducted on October 6, 2010;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission continued its review of the Completed
Application request to November 3, 2010;
WHEREAS, on November 3, 2010, the Planning Commission recommended findings of
fact and recommended approval of the Developer's rezoning request;
WHEREAS, on November 29, 2010, the Arden Hills City Council reviewed the
Completed Application; the comments and reports of the City Staff and its consultants; the
comments and reports of the Developer and its consultants; and public comments; and
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the Council meeting on November 29, 2010, the Arden
Hills City Council made the following specific findings in regard to the Developer's rezoning
request:
1. The Property is currently zoned R -2.
2. Independent, assisted, and skilled nursing care is currently provided on site, as
approved by the City.
3. Independent senior housing, once defined as institutional housing, is now better
defined as a multiple family use, which is not permitted in the R -2 District.
4. The application is proposing to rezone the Property to R -4 Multiple Dwelling
District.
5. The proposed redevelopment, and mix of uses, is a permitted use in the R -4
District with the approval of an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit and a
Planned Unit Development.
6. Rezoning the Property to R -4 would bring it into conformance with the proposed
zoning for the Property on the City's Comprehensive Plan.
7. The R -2 and R -4 Districts are substantially similar in terms of development
standards.
8. The rezoning will not negatively impact the surrounding neighborhoods or the
community as a whole and is in keeping with the intent of the Zoning Code,
because the use, previously approved by the City, has existed on the Property for
several decades with no negative effects.
9. The proposed rezoning is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan or the
future land use designation of the Property.
2
10. The proposed rezoning and use would not be incompatible with the adjacent land
uses because the traffic and parking impacts of a senior housing facility are
substantially less than that of a non -age restricted housing facility, and the
facility has existed for decades at its current intensity of use with no ill effects on
the surrounding community.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Arden Hills City Council hereby
approves the rezoning of the Property from R -2 (single and two family residential district) to R -4
(multiple dwelling district);
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Administrator is directed to record a
certified copy of this Resolution with the Ramsey County Registrar of Titles /County Recorder;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Administrator is directed to revise the City
Zoning Map accordingly.
