January 22, 2020 Centerville City Council Page 4 of 6 Atlas Villas Memory Care - Interim Use Permit & Site Plan Approval 16) Once licensure to operate a 16-unit senior living/memory care facility on the Subject Property has been granted and the facility begins operations after accepting its first patient, the Landowner may apply for a Conditional Use Permit from the City to operate that facility. The Landowner must make this application within one-year of the date the licensure has been fully granted. Failure to make timely application voids the Interim Use Permit. 17) This Interim Use Permit is not transferrable to another party without the written approval and consent of the City Council. Findings of Fact for Interim Use Permit I recommend the City Council adopt the following Findings of Fact in support of the IUP: 1) The proposed Atlas Villas Memory Care facility is an appropriate use for the City's Main Street Commercial District as a specialized care facility use. 2) The addition of a memory care facility in this location benefits the general welfare of the neighborhood and City. 3) The City's expectation for high quality, durable building materials is reasonable to protect the investment and character of its business districts. 4) The proposed Atlas Villas Memory Care facility is required to operate pursuant to licensure granted by the State of Minnesota and Anoka County. The facility has not yet obtained that licensure. The City's expectation is that the facility will comply with applicable law, regulation, and licensure necessary to operating the facility, as well as additional operating conditions set by the City which are reasonable to ensure that the facility is not an undue burden on public emergency services. 5) Memory care and assisted living facilities similar to the proposed facility can be associated with an increased number of calls for emergency public safety services. This type of patient population has greater needs for medical services and are at a greater risk for injury. 6) The applicant proposes to operate a 16-unit senior living/memory care facility. The relatively small size of this facility means the business model will employ less staff than would a larger facility. With less staff at the facility to address patient matters, the facility's staff may need to call 911 for support. Any assisted living facility will proportionally increase calls for emergency services simply due to the type of patient population served by these facilities. However, the City should be concerned with the potential for increased costs for emergency services if 911 calls were used to supplement the applicant's facility staffing. 7) It is reasonable for the City to place operating conditions on the facility to ensure that an increase in emergency service is the responsibility of the applicant, and not the City. „Ig wffl"l it rnlrr�Wi;
