Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a 4-story senior living facility totaling approximately 188,000 -sq ft (154 total rooms) on a 6.45 acre site.
Petition Summary:
* The Site Plan, which was recommended for approval by City Planning Commission, proposes to construct a 4-story, 182,996 square foot senior housing building with underground parking offering 154 total units consisting of 97 independent, 38 assisted, and 16 memory care units. Since this approval the Planning Commission recommendation, the petitioner proposes adding 4,300-sq feet distributed over 3 floors. This is less than a 3% increase in building area. No natural features or additional parking is required from this proposed addition.
* Two (2) wetlands are located in the southwest portion of the site. A low quality wetland located along the western property line will be impacted by construction of the proposed driveway. To mitigate for this wetland impact the petitioner proposes to create 1,000 sq ft of wetland adjacent to an adjacent wetland and improve the habitat of this wetland with invasive species removal and planting native species.
* A Landscape Modification is requested to utilize existing trees and vegetation along the west side of the site to meet the conflicting land use buffer (CLUB) to screen the proposed parking lot from the adjacent parcel. Sufficient existing landscape screening exists along the property line to meet CLUB requirements.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of April 5, 2016, recommended approval of this request.
