Overall the proposed project meets many of the goals and planning principals identified in the Southdale Neighborhood Plan including the provision of affordable housing and senior housing to provide opportunities for lifelong Southdale residents. As recommended by the plan,the building will be built by the street edge to provide a sense of enclosure and to reinforce the pedestrian zone with parking under and behind the building. Dwelling Unit Types and Land Uses One Bedroom Senior Rental Units:36 Two Bedroom Senior Rental Units: 24 Total Residential Units:60 Prohibited Land Uses -Tattoo Parlor, Pawn Shop, Payday Loan Establishment,Sexually Orientated Businesses Development Densities and Ratios • 38.17 Units per Acre* • Building Coverage: 22.6% • Open/Green Space Ratio: 44.6% • Floor Area Ratio: .9 • Hard Surface: 30.2% • 1.33 Parking Spaces per dwelling unit(80 Spaces)** • The 2500 Novation development which was recently completed has 43 units on a 1.246 acre site resulting in a density of 34.51 dwelling units per acre. This development has a comparable density with that of the project. **Approximately 10 bicycle stalls will be available at the rear of the building. These stalls will help lower the demand for vehicular parking spaces for the project. The proposed parking ratio 80 stalls resulting in a parking ratio of 1.33 stalls per unit is below the 1.5 stall requirement(under current standards 90 stalls would be required). It should be noted that the senior nature of the facility will inherently require limited parking. The ratio of one bedroom units(36)to two bedroom units(24) increases the likelihood of single-person households that have at most one vehicle. Most households will have one car;some households will not have any vehicles. In addition, the location on a transit line and bicycle parking spaces could meet the standards for a 25%reduction from the requirement (90 x 75%=66 required stalls). Signage As noted on the enclosed plans,one monument sign will be located at the intersection of Novation Parkway and 89'Degree Street. This sign will be constructed of high quality materials and will be approximately six feet in length and approximately four feet high. The sign will be located outside of the vision triangle.
