(That) the final plans for the 36 unit future phase of senior housing in the northwest comer of the site be designed as shown on the final PUD site plan. This means that the use will be for senior housing with some assisted care provided. There should be adequate parking in the location shown. The building will be one story and essentially the size and location shown, and the design and architectural character of the buildings shall be compatible with the other two new buildings. 2.3 Presbyterian Homes is proposing the amendment in order to re-design the facility and increase the size of the individual units. The residence facility will include 26 one bedroom units with 440 square feet each and 10 studio units with 380 square feet each. Since the footprint of the building will increase from 26, 500 square feet to 32,900 square feet (a 24% increase), an amendment to the PUD is required. The building will be a one-story building as originally proposed, with adequate parking (28 spaces) and an architectural character similar to the other buildings. 2.4 The facility will provide specialty care for 36 residents with dementia in four "houses." Each house will contain a small family-sized living area that encourages both independence and interaction with other residents. The four "houses" will be linked to a larger common area referred to as the Village Square. Building support functions will be located in the basement of the building, and there will be an underground connection with the building to the south to allow for the transfer of meals to this facility.
