DATE: November 3, 2011 RE: Oak Park Heights — Oak Park Senior Living Phase I — Planned Unit Development Amendment TPC FILE: 236.02 —11.06 BACKGROUND Tim Nolde, representing Oakgreen Villa LLC /Anchobaypro, Inc has submitted an application for amending the Oakgreen Village Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow for a reduction in the number of approved townhome units and to construct brownstone senior living buildings. The proposed units would be senior rentals as opposed to the original townhouses that would have been owner occupied. The project is at Nova Scotia Avenue North and 58 Street. • The general plan approval for the Oakgreen Village project was recommended by the Planning Commission on May 8, 2008 and approved by the City Council on May 27 2008. The plans show the buildings of the Oakgreen Village project that were • constructed and the new plans for the Oak Park Senior Living project as found in the Exhibits as follows. The review is based upon the following submittals: Exhibit 1: Existing Conditions (Sheet 1) Exhibit 2: Master Plan and Traffic Analysis (Sheet 2) Exhibit 3: Area Analysis — Density (Sheet 3) Exhibit 4: Site Drainage /Grading Plan /Snow Removal (Sheet 4) Exhibit 5: Utility Plan.(Sheet 5) Exhibit 6: Lighting Plan (Sheet 6) Exhibit 7: Trail Plan (Sheet 1) Exhibit 8: Preliminary Plat — Oak Park Senior Living Exhibit 9: Site Plan /Landscape Plan (AS1) Exhibit 10: Overall Tree Plan — Landscape Plan (L1.0) Exhibit 11: Building 1 and 2 Landscaping Plan (L1.1) Exhibit 12: Building 3 Landscaping Plan (L1.2) Exhibit 13: Parking Level Building 1 and 2 (A1.01) Exhibit 14: Parking Level Building 3 (A1.02) Exhibit 15: 1 Floor Plan Buildings 1 and 2 (A1.11) Exhibit 16: 1 Floor Plan Building 3 (A1.12) Exhibit 17: 2 Floor Plan Buildings 1 and 2 (A1.21) Exhibit 18: 2 Floor Plan Building 3*(A1.22) Exhibit 19: Unit Plans (A2.0) Exhibit 20: Building 1 Elevations (A3.0) Exhibit 21: Building 2 Elevations (A3.1) Exhibit 22: Building 3 Elevations (A3.2) Exhibit 23: View from Nova Scotia Entrance Looking East (B/W) Exhibit 24: View from Pond Looking North East (B/W) Exhibit 25: 58 Looking North (Color) Exhibit 26: Project Narrative from Todd Erickson, FFE, September 13, 2011 Exhibit 27: Memo from Kathy Widin, City Arborist Exhibit 28: Memo from Chris Long, City Engineer PROJECT DESCRIPTION Todd Erickson of Folz, Freeman and Erickson, Inc, the project engineer has provided the following narrative related to the request for the PUD amendment: "On behalf of my client, Mr. Tim Nolde, we are submitting documentation for the revision or amendment to the Oakgreen Village PUD. Due to market driven conditions we are once again submitting for a change in regard to the previously approved use of the Oakgreen Village and Oakgreen Ponds area. The proposed submittal reduces the number of townhome units from 44 in the Oakgreen Village Platted Area to 15 units. The townhomes in the Oakgreen Ponds Plat would all be eliminated. The proposed change would be to add 111 units to the Oak Park Senior Living Phase I Addition, and constructing 8 of the remaining townhomes. The proposed plan would incorporate construction similar to that of the existing senior living building recently constructed over the past year. These units would be considered more of a "Brownstone" style of unit to accommodate the current market trend. As part of this PUD Amendment, TIF Financing is requested for the amount of $1,200,000. This request does not include the earlier created District; therefore, we do not need any consent from Bondholders and other interested parties. Construction of the proposed units for Phase 1, would begin as soon as approvals are given." 2 The units proposed with this amendment are as follows: One level townhomes (7 constructed) 15 dwelling units Multi level townhomes (4 constructed) 8 Building 1 26 Building 2 33 Building 3 52 Total 134 dwelling units ISSUES ANALYSIS Adjacent Uses. Uses adjacent to the subject site are listed below: North of Site: Present Zoning — B -4, Limited Business District Present Use — Highway 36 orientated commercial development, Goodwill and the Xcel Energy power line easement South of Site: Present Zoning — 0, Open Space and R -1 Single Family Residential District Present Use — City park and and a single family neighborhood West of Site: Present Zoning — B -4, Limited Business District Present Use — Lowe's /CSM Commercial development East of Site: Present Zoning — B -4 /PUD, Residential Planned Unit Development Present Use — Oakgreen Commons, open area and Oakgreen Avenue . Comprehensive Plan. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan designates this area as medium density residential. The increase in number of approved units places the area into a high density residential classification for land use purposes. A Comprehensive Plan change would be required. The Planning Commission and City Council should comment on the land use classifications and whether the Comprehensive Plan should be revised to accommodate this development. Zoning. This property has been designated as B -4, Limited Business District which accommodates residential development as a conditional use. As such, the underlying base zoning district is B -4, Limited Business District with a PUD overlay. The B -4, Limited Business District lists two family, townhomes and multiple family dwellings as a conditional use. The performance standards of the R -3 Multiple Family District must be complied with for residential development in the B-4 Limited Business District. 3 Subdivision. The applicant has provided a preliminary plat labeled as Oak Park Senior Living. This would replace the Oakgreen Village plat. Outlot A would be created as the common area surrounding the buildings. Blocks 1, 2 and 4 represent the new multifamily buildings. The existing four piex and the four piex that is planned at the southwest corner of the site, as well as the townhouses on the north side of the site will retain the existing Oakgreen Village plat. The preliminary and final plat, as well as the vacation and dedication of any easements, shall be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and the City Attorney. Park Dedication. Park dedication has been satisfied for this area. The applicant paid the maximum percentage (14 %) of equivalent cash value as part of the original approvals in 2006. Project Density. Section 401.15.C.3 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes the density thresholds for residential properties. Elderly housing requires 1,000 square feet of and area per unit excluding right -of -way and wetlands. The multiple family requirement is 2,500 square feet per unit. The project total, with what is proposed, the already constructed units and the Oakgreen Commons project is a density of 2,200 square feet per unit. As long as the project stays as a senior rental complex it would meet density requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The development agreement will need to include a provision to assure that the project remains as senior rental and is not converted to non restricted rental housing. Proposed Street/Access. The existing roadway system that was developed for the Oakgreen Village and Oakgreen Commons projects will remain in place. The north /south roadway at the west edge of the site is to be reconfigured slightly to accommodate additional parking. The cul -de -sac at the end of this roadway will also be altered to accommodate the additional four piex that is to be constructed. The parking portion of this roadway is to be located directly on the property line. This is allowed through the PUD. The City has previously allowed a portion of the parking and the cul- de -sac to encroach on the setback area. The Planning Commission should comment on the extent to which this parking area will encroach. Trails /Sidewalks. The Trail Plan as attached includes the locations of the existing eight foot bituminous public trails and the proposed and existing five foot concrete sidewalks. The combination of the trails and sidewalks should provide adequate access within the development and connections to the surrounding public trails. The Planning Commission should comment about the proposed sidewalks and connections to the existing trail system. Private Park. A private landscaped area with a gazebo is proposed between Buildings 3 and 4. No active play equipment is proposed due to the nature of the development as senior rentals. 4 Setbacks. Within a PUD, the base district setback requirements -3) are applied only to the perimeter of the project. The R -3 District specifies setback requirements as follows: 30 feet front yard, 30 feet rear yard, and 20 feet side yard. If the lot is in a corner, not Tess than 30 feet from a lot line is required for side yards. The PUD section of the Zoning Ordinance specifies that buildings should be located at least 20 feet from the back of a curb line from roadways as part of the internal street pattern. Additionally, the ordinance specifies that no building within the project shall be nearer to another building by one -half the sum of the building heights of the two buildings. Building 1 will be constructed on the property line adjacent to Nova Scotia Avenue. According to R -3 District standards, at least a 30 foot setback should be maintained. The proposed four plex at the corner of Nova Scotia Avenue and 58 Street as well as the existing four plex further north were approved with setbacks of 20 feet as part of the Oakgreen Village plans. The setback for Building 3 is proposed at 52.5 feet from the right of way line of Nova Scotia Avenue. Staff recommends that Building 1 be pulled back at least 30 feet from the right of way line. The Planning Commission should comment. Buidling 1 and 2 are to be separated by a distance of 31 feet. The sum of the two building heights is 52 feet; half of that amount is 26 feet. The buildings are adequately separated. Building 3 and the existing four plex are separated by 23.5 feet. The sum of the two building heights is 46 feet; half of that amount is 23 feet. These buildings are compliant with the PUD setback requirements. Tree Preservation /Landscaping. The applicant has provided a general landscaping plan as well as detailed plans for the foundation plantings around each building. The City Arborist has reviewed the plan in memo as attached. The plans shall be subject to the final approval of the City Arborist. Grading and Drainage. Detailed grading and drainage plans have been provided as part of the development submittals. The City Engineer and the applicable watershed authority shall review and approve all of the grading and drainage plans. Utilities. A detailed utility plan has been submitted. The final utility plan is subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and Public Works Director. All of the utilities within the development shall be private but built to City specifications. Lighting. A lighting plan has been provided that includes street Tight fixture specifications and locations within the private street network. Some of the street lights are in place and others are proposed. The proposed light fixture is identical to what has been used previously. It is a full cut -off fixture with a flat lens. The street lights will be maintained and all electricity costs will be paid for by the developer /homeowners association.. The plans indicate the wall light fixtures to be used on each of the proposed buildings. These fixtures are the same as what was approved for the Oakgreen Commons project. 5 As part of the PUD approvals, the Planning Commission and City Council will need to determine of these fixtures are appropriate in that they are not full cut off. A photometric plan has been provided that is compliant with the Tight intensity requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Signage. No additional signage has been proposed other than the monument signs on each of the two entrances from Nova Scotia Avenue and at the corner of 58 Street and Oakgreen Avenue. The applicant shall submit plans for these signs that are subject to City approval. Traffic. The applicant has provided projected vehicle count information for the proposed development in the Master Plan and Traffic Analysis. The traffic numbers are subject to review and approval .of the City Engineer. Parking. The Zoning Ordinance requires the following for elderly housing: "m. Elderly (Senior Citizen) Housing. Reservation of area equal to one (1) parking space per unit. Initial development is, however, required for only one -half (1/2) space per unit and said number of spaces can continue until such time as the City considers a need for additional parking spaces has been demonstrated." A review of the proposed parking is as follows: Building Surface Stalls Underground Stalls Building 1 16 43 Building 2 30 55 Building 3 24 83 Total 70 181 With a total of 251 stalls, and 111 dwelling units, the multifamily buildings in the project comply with ordinance standards for elderly parking and leave additional spaces for guest parking. The one level and multi level townhome units are all constructed with one stall each and are compliant. Snow Storage. The plans indicate areas for snow storage. The City Engineer should comment on the adequacy of these areas. Mechanical Equipment. The applicant's architect has indicated that the mechanical equipment is located within the buildings. Any mechanical equipment that is ground mounted or visible from adjacent streets shall be screened as required by the Zoning Ordinance. 6 Trash /Recycling. All of the trash storage and recycling will be internal to the buildings. The design of the driveways for the multifamily buildings accommodates roll out containers for pickup. Building Height. Building 1, 2 and 3 are all 26 feet to the midpoint of the gable roof in accordance with the definition of building height. The buildings are in conformance with the 35 foot height requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. Three Bedroom Units. Within the development, most of the units are either one or two bedroom. All of the units in Buildings 1, 2 and 3 are one and two bedroom and none of the two bedroom units have a den. Two of the one bedroom units in Building 3 have dens. There are six units in Building 4 that are two bedroom with a den. Three units in this building have one bedroom and a den. Staff is concerned that the den units in the one and two bedroom units could become bedrooms with a later addition of a closet. It is recommended that a condition be placed in the approvals that none of the den units be converted to a bedroom with the addition of a closet. Architectural Appearance. The application materials indicate elevations and perspective diagrams from various locations surrounding the development. From the initial submittal, the project architect has greatly improved the appearance of the multifamily buildings and has added architectural feature detailing and colors that were not present with previous diagrams. The Planning Commission, in their workshop review of the plans, indicated that the buildings be given more distinction so that they were not all the same in color and style. The perspective diagrams were requested to better indicate an actual view of the development. The Planning Commission should comment on the revised plans and determine if the applicant has provided enough distinction and difference in style between structures. The plans indicate the material types and specify colors. The project architect will provide a building materials board for review and the Planning Commission meeting. The residential units are not required to be reviewed under Design Guideline requirements, but as part of the PUD, the City can comment and require design and material changes. The Planning Commission and City Council shall comment further on the building appearance and materials as part of the review. B-4, Limited Business Standards. Section 401.301.E.9 of the Zoning Ordinance provides the CUP standards for allowing residential use in the B -4 District. The standards are as follows: Two family, townhomes and multiple family dwellings provided that: a. At least two parking spaces per unit must be provided for on site, or proof is shown of arrangements for private parking nearby. 7 The development will comply with the specific Zoning Ordinance requirements for senior housing. b. No physical improvements, either interior or exterior, may preclude future re -use for commercial purposes. The development could be converted to future office use, but highly unlikely c. Unit floor areas must comply with Section 401.15.0.6. All of the units are at least 600 square feet for one bedroom and 720 square feet for two bedrooms as required by the Zoning Ordinance. d. Compliance with conditional use requirements of Section 401.03.A.8. The requirements will be complied with. . e. The development does not conflict with existing or potential future commercial uses and activities. There would be no conflict. f. The density, setbacks, and building height standards imposed as part of the R -3 Zoning District are complied with. The building setbacks are not consistent. This will need to be addressed in revised plans. The Planning Commission and City Council will need to comment on the setbacks and project density. g. Adequate open space and recreational space is provided on site for the benefit of the occupants. Adequate open space is provided. h. The development does not conflict or result in incompatible land use arrangements as related to abutting residential uses or commercial uses. No incompatible land use arrangements are created. Residential use can be governed by all applicable standards of the Zoning Ordinance, Building Code, Housing Code and Fire Codes. All standards will be complied with. j. Residential and non- residential uses shall not be contained on the same floor. Not applicable. • 8 k. Residential uses shall be provided with a separate entrance, and separately identified parking stalls. Not applicable. The architectural appearance, design and building materials of residential structures shall be consistent with the Design Guidelines and subject to approval of the City Council. The Planning Commission and City Council should comment on the architectural appearance. Demolition Clause. At their workshop meeting, the Planning Commission discussed the Tong term maintenance, appearance and functionality of the site as rental housing. It was suggested that the City place a demolition clause in the PUD approvals and the development agreement. This would state that once the site has exhausted its useful life that the buildings would need to be demolished in 40 or 50 years. This is done frequently for big box commercial sites that are often abandoned after 10 or 20 years once the same big box retailer opens another new store a few miles away. It is not that common to utilize a demolition clause for multiple family housing in that the useful life of this type of structure is usually much longer. The Planning Commission should consider this further. In the alternative, the City could implement a rental registration and inspection program that would provide the City more authority in assuring that the property is maintained and kept safe. The City Council has considered this option in the past and could be another method of addressing the long term viability of the multiple family housing stock in the City. Development Agreement. The applicant will be required to enter into an amended development agreement with the City should approval of the general plan of development be granted. The development agreement shall be subject to review and approval of the City Attorney. CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION Based upon the preceding review, City staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the issues raised with density, height of the buildings and setbacks prior to proceeding with a final recommendation. A change in setbacks from what is shown in the plans could potentially significantly affect the site plan and potentially the numbers of dwelling units that can be included in the buildings. Additionally the Planning Commission previously had limitations regarding the architectural appearance of the structure. This may also impact their recommendation. • If the Planning Commission is ready to make a recommendation on the amended PUD please find as follows a list of suggested conditions: 9 1. The Planning Commission and City Council shall discuss the land use classifications and determine if the property should be designated has high density residential in the Comprehensive Plan. 2.
