The Project located on the SE corner of Line Avenue and 183rd Circle. The building amenities will include: a salon, movie theater,pub room, community and private dining rooms,wood working shop, craft room and fitness room. All residential rooms will have private bathrooms. All independent and assisted living rooms will have full kitchens. Based on market studies, a larger percentage of units will be one bedroom, one bedroom plus den, and two bedrooms. There will be approximately 36 independent living residences, 40 assisted living residences and 24 memory care residences. The applicant anticipates, once operating, the morning and afternoon shifts will be the busiest at the building and will require up to 25 employees during the peak time of 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Overnight staff will require a minimum of four staff. The site is currently zoned as Business Park (BP). The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Mixed Use. This project will serve as a transition area from the heavy commercial uses to the south and the multifamily and single family residential uses to the north. The project is intended to fit within the guidelines of the Mixed Use designation. Comprehensive Plan Mixed Use: This land use category allows a mixture of housing, jobs and/or retail services uses within close proximity to each other. This land use creates the potential for people to live close to their jobs and retail services, and it offers an environment where one can live with less reliance on the car. This area provides another setting for high density residential land use in Elk River. Site Plan As detailed in the site plan, there will be approximately 36 independent living residences, 40 assisted living residences and 24 memory care residences. All 24 of the memory care residences will be located on the first floor accompanied with a memory care commons area and dayroom. Eight additional independent and or assisted living residences are also located on the first floor with the remaining on the second floor. A below ground parking structure will be located on the east end of the building. Approximately 36 parking stalls are being proposed on this level along with a trash facility, fences center, craft room, theater, and staff lounge. An infiltration pond will be located in the southwest corner. This ponding will be connected by storm sewer equipment to the established pond in the southeast corner of the property. Natural vegetation and infiltration mechanisms should be put in place near ponding areas. Building and Architecture Floor plans and elevations have been included with the application. The proposed exterior is similar to other senior housing projects conducted by Hearth Development. In order to be consistent with building in the area and in similar uses in the city, staff recommended three different material types and color N:ADepartments\Community Development\Planning\Case Files\CUP\CU 16-21 Heath Development\5-City Council\7.1b_CU 16-21 CC Staff Report-ER Senior Properties.docx
