With this additional land, the Orchard parcel size has now � increased from 2.23 acres to 2.61 acres. � 5.2 The site is located to the east of Cleveland Avenue, directly adjacent to County Road S, � and south of the Midland Grove Condominiums. A single-family property and � Ferriswood Townhome community is located to the east, and single-family homes are � located south across County Road S. F 5.3 The subject property has an existing Comprehensive Land Use designation of Low F Density Residential; Midland Grove Condominiums has a designation of High Density F Residential; and Ferriswood Townhomes along with the adjacent single-family parcel has F a designation of Medium Density Residential. F 5.4 Zoning in the area includes a mix of R3A (Multi-Family Residence District, Three to F Twenty-Four Units) and Midland Grove Condominiums, PUD (Planned Unit F Development) at Ferriswood Townhomes, and R-1 (Single Family Residence District) on F the adjacent property and properties south across County Road S. F 5.5 Previously, the applicant submitted a proposal to construct a 4-story, 77-unit senior F housing complex on this site. After a negative recommendation at the February 4, 2009 E Planning Commission meeting, the applicant withdrew the original proposal and E submitted the current proposal, which lowered the height and reduced the number of E units. E 5.6 The General Concept proposal seeks to develop a 3-story, 55-unit active senior living E community with an underground parking garage. The facility would include a variety of E 1, 2, and 3-bedroom units, as well amenities such as community, game, craft, and E exercise rooms, kitchen, library, private dining, office, mailroom, and sitting areas. E 6.O REVIEW OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN E 6.1 The Roseville Comprehensive Land Use Plan (the future development guide for property E in Roseville) designates the subject parcel as LR, Low Density Residential. During the � 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update process there was no mention or discussion on this - property. The Planning Division considers this parcel to be a land use anomaly that is better suited by a residential Land Use designation other than Low Density. PF09-002 RCA 051109.doc Page 2 of 8
