~ - Case Number: 964.76 April 7, 1976 -- i v ,,/ ~ Page Two 1. ~ h 'f ~ .t- f 4. A variance is requested to the density requirement 1n as much as no specific density standards for housing for the elderly are establ~shed in the ordinance. The ordinance requ1res 21000 square feet of land for a one bedroom un)t and 2,800 sq~are feet of land for a two bed- room unit. A credit of 300 square feet per unit 1S provided for parking underground or below the building. These standards are appropriate and have been successful in Roseville for the typical apartment project (not including exclusive elderly units). land area required according to the ordinance for the 214 units would be 469,600 square feet. The land area required for the family housing units (92 townhouses) would be 2?5.600 square feet. The land area of the nine acres is 392,040 squar'e feet. Thusl the land area devoted to the senior citizens housing is 166,440 square feet. A typical density standard for senior citizens housing would be 1,000 square feet per unit. On this basis. 822 units proposed in the structure would require 122,000 square feet leaving us approximately 44,000 square feet in excess of that standard which is the equivalent to slightly w~re than an acre. 5. The proposed design provides one garage plus one open parking space for each of the 92 townhouse units as required by ordinance. The 122 senior citizens units are provided with 24 garages and 39 open spaces equaling 63 parking spaces or slightly more than ~ park1ng space per unit. The commonly excepted standard for senior cltlzens housing in urban areas is ~ parking space per unit. We suggest. however. that one-half space per unit is more appropriate for th1S specific location not currently on a high.level service transit line. We would anticipate the parking spaces provided to be adequate for the proposed dev~lopment. 6. The special use pennit is required for multiple structures over three stories in height in this City. In this case, the permit is requested for seven stodes for which the front yard setback requirement would be three-quarters of the height which would be approximately 50 feet. The proposed setback is 60 feet. The remaining building do not exceed three stories and meet or exceed the requ1red setback requirements. The purpose for requiring a special use permit for structures over three stories was to control the sltuation where such higher structures might be contiguous to single family homes or some develop~ent that might suffer aesthetically as a result. In this case. the contiguous properties to the north and to the south are zoned co~~rcial and the properties across from Snelling A/enue are of course zoned for cow.mercial development as well. The nearest single family h~~s are approX1Mately two blocks away to the north and east with the Church.
