REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 03/13/00 ITEM N0: H-2 Department Approval: Manager A proved: Agenda Section: � HEARINGS It m Description: Sunrise Assisted Living Inc. — Residential Planned Unit Development (R-PUD) for redevelopment of the Knights of Columbus site located at 2555 Snelling Avenue North (PF #3159). (Final Hearin� and Approval) 1.0 REQUESTED ACTION 1,1 Sunrise Assisted Living Inc. seeks FINAL approval of a Senior Housing Residential Planned Unit Development (R-PUD) in order to redevelop the existing Knights of Columbus facility located at 2555 Snelling Avenue North. In January 2000, the Council provided direction by approving an amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment from LB (Limited Business) to HR (High Density Residential). The Council also provided concept approval (first readin� of a rezoning from B-1 (Limited Business District) and B2 (Retail Business District) to R-PUD (Residential Planned Unit Development) with an underlying zoning of R-3 (General Residence District), subject to final approval of the R-PUD document (which is also the second reading of the zoning amendment). 1.2 The Roseville Zoning Ordinance does not have a specific district for senior housing developments. The General Residence District (R-3) was approved as the base for the Residential Planned Unit Development. The requirements of the R-3 District provided the best compatibility between the neighborhood and Sunrise proposal. 1.3 The proposal calls for the removal of the existing Knights of Columbus structure and construction of a 79 unit, three (3) story assisted care facility. The new structure will be placed in the general location of the existing structure and consume the majority of the northern parcel (existing parking lot). Access will be provided from the frontage road and Oakcrest Avenue. 1.4 A planned unit development (PUD) is a zoning district which may include single or mixed uses, one or more lots or parcels, and is intended to create a more flexible, creative, efficient approach to the use of land. Because of the flexibility it offers, Roseville has used PUD's as the primary zoning tool in redevelopment projects. In considering proposed planned unit developments, the City considers all standards and purposes of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to achieve a maximum coordination between the proposed development and the surrounding uses, the conservation of woodlands, ponding, and wetlands, and the protection of health, safety and welfare of the community.
