June 4, 2024 Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission Page 8 of 11 RE: Ten Nineteen Development LLC, LaLonde Property, PUD Preliminary Development Plan 3)Denial Findings of Fact for Denial \[Same as above, with additionsand deletions\] 1)The Estate of William J. LaLonde owns the property at 1687 Westview Street, legally described now as in Lot 4, Auditor’s Subdivision 48 Revised, being a part of the NW ¼ of Section 23, Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County, Minnesota; described by Anoka County with PID 23-31-22-22-0003. The property is proposed to bebeingplatted with this approval as Lot 1 and Lot 2 Block 1 of LaLonde First Addition. 2)Ten Nineteen Development LLC has proposed a 104-unit apartment project on the property, consisting of a three-story apartment building with a level of parking underneath the building for 110 cars and a surface parking lot of 56 spaces, for a total of 166 spaces. The Zoning Code minimum standard for residential parking in Section 156.166(A) is two spaces per unit, which is 208 spaces for the 104-unit proposed project. The project does not meet this standard, being short by 42 spaces. 3)The height of the proposed building would be about 35 feet as defined in the Centerville Zoning Code but would appear 48 feet in height on the north side due to the lower ground level at the northwest corner of the building. This is unreasonably tall and not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. 4)The project is proposed as a Conditional Use Permit for a Planned Unit Development under the standards and processes in the Centerville Zoning Code. 5)The project does not meet the M-2 zoning district standards in Section156.052, which incorporate by reference the standards in the 2006 Master Plan & Development Guidelines,specifically: a.The height and mass of the building do not “protect the integrity of the surrounding residential neighborhoods”. b.The design of the building is not consistent with the architectural design standards in the above reference Master Plan. c.The Master Plan limits projects to three stories, whereas the proposed project would rise more than three levels on the west and north sides. 6)The project is in close proximity toCenterville Elementary School. Safety of the students and school-related traffic are critical issues for the school and the community. It is important to create a safe area in the vicinity of the school. Residents and visitors to the project site must travel along the same route as pedestrians, bicycles, bus traffic, and other traffic
