The process also allows the City to consider the location of the buildings, compatibility, parking areas and other features with respect to the topography of the area and existing natural features; the efficiency, adequacy and safety of the proposed layout of internal streets and driveways; the adequacy and location of green areas; the adequacy, location and screening of parking areas; and such other matters as the City may find to have a material bearing on the stated standards and objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND 2.1 The Knights of Columbus site encompasses two parcels. Parcel A is rectilinear in shape, roughly 100 x 525 feet (1.45 acres) in size fronting Oakcrest Avenue and Snelling Avenue. Parcel B is square in shape, roughly 295 x 222 feet (1.39 acres) in size fronting Snelling Avenue and directly adjacent to Rosebrook Park. The existing Knights of Columbus structure is generally located in the southeast corner of Parcel A with parking located to the west. Parcel B mostly encompasses the remaining off-street parking for the existing structure. Currently no ponding for storm water management is located on the site. The proposed development plan has 1.44 acres of impervious surface compared to the existing site development with 1.0 acre, on-site ponding will be provided along the northwest property line. The pond will be used as an amenity with pathways and a gazebo. 2.2 The Roseville Zoning Ordinance does not distinguish between senior housing multiple family uses and other typical multiple family uses. The code requires two (2) off-street parking spaces per unit, 1h of which shall be enclosed. The proposal indicates 39 off-street parking spaces for the 79-unit facility. The City, in the past, has recognized the unique parking requirements of a senior housing project and written the PUD to account for these unique conditions, setting specific standards for each senior housing development. Parking is limited on the site because the majority of residents do not drive. The Sunrise project is an assisted care facility where the typical resident is an 83-year-old elderly woman who does not drive. Parking is primarily for visitors and employees. 2.3 The proposed assisted living facility will incorporate 79 units, dining, kitchen, and social areas into a three (3) store structure and architectural turrets approximately 45 feet in height. The main entry will be located off of Snelling Avenue and include a portico. The proposed architecture is Victorian in design, consisting of brick, vinyl and wood exterior materials and standing seam metal and asphalt shingles for roofing material. 2.3 Differences between existing structure, code requirements and proposal are indicated below. 2
