1. That the previously permitted community services programs may be continued
provided Council determines that the use had no adverse affect on the neighbor-
hood.
2. If Council determines there is inadequate on site parking for the cooperative
residence within one year of 95% occupancy, additional parking spaces may
be required.

following findings of fact:
1. The use conforms with the�City's Comprehensive Plan and with the purpose
and standards of chapter 36 -348 of City Code.
2. The establishment or maintenance of the use would not be detrimental to the
public health, safety or general welfare.

character of that zoning district.
4. There is no evidence that the use would depreciate property values.
- 5 - 4/11

potential surrounding land uses, due to noises, glare, smoke, dust, odor,
fumes, water pollution, water runoff, vibration, general unsightliness,
electrical interference or other nuisances.
6. The facility would have a minimal impact on Hazelwood'Avenue, planned as
a minor arterial roadway. The use would not create traffic congestion,
unsafe access or parking needs that will cause undue burden to the area proper-
ties.
7. The use would be served by essential public services, such as streets, police,
fire protection,utilities, schools and parks.
8. The use would not create excessive additional requirements at public cost
for public facilities and services; and would not be detrimental to the welfare
of the City.

11. Council and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority have given concept approval
for development of this site as the "frail- elderly" component of the HRA's
tandem senior citizen /first -time home buyer housing program.
Approval of the variances is recommended on the basis of the following findings
of fact:
1. The zoning code does not consider the unique nature of parking space and
floor area requirements for senior housing, as such strict enforcement of
the code would constitute an undue hardship.
2. The variances are required for the reasonable and practical development of
the proposed seniors' residence and are not based solely on financial concerns.
3. The parking variance is less than that approved for Concordia Arms (50% versus
59 %). No parking problem has occurred at Concordia Arms.
4. If a problem were to occur, adequate room exists on the site to provide addit-
ional on -site parking.
5. The common dining, lounge and meeting room areas within the residence and
those accessible by tunnel in HRA's office building compensate for the smaller
unit areas.
6. The proposed floor areas are consistent with similar seniors' developments
in the Twin Cities.
7. The variances will not constitute a threat of a substantive nature to the
inhabitants or adjacent property owners.
