Attachment D 2/4/2016 Roseville Community Development 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 (651)792-7005 Regarding: Zoning Map Change (Rezoning) Application for: 1415 County Road B W, Roseville, MN PROJECT DESCRIPTION and INTENDED USE: The intent of this narrative is to serve as a supplement to the rezoning application materials submitted by Kaas Wilson Architects on behalf of the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society to Roseville Community Development. The proposed 3-story apartment building for the site located at 1415 County Road B W (at the intersection of County B Road W & Albert Street N) in Roseville, MN will feature 62 units of senior living residences, divided up into a mix of 60% one- bedrooms, and 40% two-bedrooms. The building will be 3-stories tall, with a height of approximately 35’ from the first floor elevation to the midpoint of the sloped roof. Our proposed building was also designed to meet the intent of Section 1004.06 of the Roseville City Zoning Code for Multi-Family Design Standards through various means, which includes emphasis towards a corner-lot street-facing façade design, variety through materiality, and offsets in the façade for generating visual interest. Rezoning the site from an HDR-1 district to an HDR-2 will be a slight modification to the Comprehensive Plan for the area, but is required to allow for the proposed density. Having a building over 60 units is more cost effective for property management and staffing as well as the ability to offer more affordable units for seniors to meet the demand. DENSITY: The Site at 1415 County Road B W is currently zoned for High-Density Residential (HDR-1, Section 1004.11 of the Roseville Zoning Code/Ordinance, dated January of 2015. The allowable density for a site zoned as an HDR-1 district is 24 units/ acre. For an HDR-2, there is no maximum density. For the building we are proposing to construct, the proposed density, with 62 units on a 1.79 acre site, would be 34 units/acre. Because variances on density are not permissible by the City of Roseville, a rezoning of the site to a district of HDR-2 is required to align with the proposed number of units. HEIGHT: The maximum building height for a site zoned as HDR-1 is currently 65’. For an HDR-2, the maximum allowable building height increases to 95’. The proposed height of our building will be approximately 35’ from the elevation of the first floor to the midpoint of the sloped roof, and includes three stories of wood frame housing, with floor-to-ceiling heights of 8’. The proposed building height is well below the restrictions set by the current HDR-1 zoning, as well as the proposed HDR-2, and is not a part of our request to rezone this site. SETBACKS: The minimum setbacks for a site zoned under HDR- 1 are as follows: Front (Street) Side Yard (interior)Side Yard (corner) Rear Yard 20 ft(when adjacent to an LDR-1 or LDR-2); 30 ft 20 ft30 ft 10 ft(when adjacent to all other uses) Tel: 612.879.6000 1301 American Blvd E.
