This property is also known as the former Harmony School site, Maplewood; WHEREAS, the procedural history of this conditional use permit is as follows: 1. This conditional use permit was initiated by Smith Investment Properties, pursuant to the Maplewood Code of Ordinances. 2. This conditional use permit was approved by the Maplewood City Council on November 6, 1985. 3. The Maplewood City Council held a public hearing on January 27, 1986, to consider an amendment to this conditional use permit. Notice thereof was published and mailed pursuant to law. All persons present at said hearing were given an opportunity to be heard and present written state- ments. The Council also considered reports and recommendations of the City Staff and Planning Commission. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAPLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL that the condi- tional use permit be amended for the Harmony School site planned unit development, including the following variances: 1. Allow 56 parking spaces for the 52-unit seniors' residence, rather than the 104 required by code. 2. Allow 26 enclosed parking spaces rather than the 52 enclosed spaces re- quired by the code. Approval of the conditional use permit and variances is subject to: 1. If Council determines that there is insufficient on-site parking for the 52-unit seniors' residence, within one year of 95~ occupancy, additional parking may be required. . - 5 - 1/27 2. Maplewood and North St. Paul shall have continued use of the athletic facilities in the northeast portion of the site until that part of the site develops provided the use of these facilities does not interfere with the applicant's use of the property., 3. The 52-unit. seniors' residence shall not be converted to non seniors' housing without revision of the planned unit development. For pur- poses of this permit, seniors' housing is defined as a residence oc- cupied by persons in their retirement years with a significant number of one-person households. 4. The auditorium attached to the 52-unit seniors' residence shall only be used by the residents of that building. Public assembly unrelated to senior use would be prohibited without a revision of this permit. 5. The commercial portion of the development shall be limited to the uses allowed in the BC (M), business commercial (modified) zoning district. 6. The nine parking spaces located west of the easterly drive shall. be - _ ~ delbted. 7. The proposed 575 square-foot units in the 52-unit residence (October 8, 1985 plans) shall be increased in area to at least 580 square feet of habitable Floor area. 8. Move the 64-unit residence to the west to comply with the required minimum setback of 50 feet. 9. Adherence to the site plan date-stamped December 17, 1985, except as required in these conditions, unless a change is approved by the Com- munity Design Review Board. Approval of the planned unit development is recommended on the basis of the follow- . ing findings of fact: 1. The use is in conformity with the City's Comprehensive Plan and with the - purpose and standards of this chapter.. 2. The establishment or maintenance of the use would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare. 3. The use would be located, designed, maintained and operated to be com- patible with the character of that zoning district. 4. The use would not depreciate property values. 5. The use would not be hazardous, detrimental or disturbing to present and potential surrounding land uses, due to the noises, glare, smoke, dust, odor, fumes, water pollution, water run-off, vibration, general unsight- lines , electrical interference or other nuisances. 6. The use would generate only minimal vehicular traffic on local streets and shall not create traffic congestion, unsafe access or parking needs that will cause undue burden to the area properties.- - 6 - 1/27 7. The use would be serviced 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. 9. The use would preserve and incorporate the site's natural and scenic features into the development design. 10. The use would cause minimal adverse environmental effects. Approval of the parking space variance is recommended on the basis of the follow- ing findings of fact: 1. .The parking space requirements contained in the zoning code do not realistically apply to the proposed development because these require- ments are designed for family housing and do not consider the fewer number of cars per unit needed for senior housing. 2. The variances would be consistent with the purpose of this chapter be- cause they would not result in the need to park vehicles off-site and because they would be consistent with similar variances granted for the Hazel Ridge and Concordia Arms seniors' residences. No parking problem has occurred at Concordia Arms. Hazel Ridge is scheduled for construction in the Fall of 1985. 3. The planned unit development would produce a development of equal or superior quality to that which would result from strict adherence to the provisions of this chapter. 4. The variances would not constitute a threat of a substantive nature to the property values, safety, health or general welfare of the owners or occupants of adjacent or nearby land, nor be detrimental to the health, safety, morals•or general welfare of the people. 5. The variances are required for reasonable and practicable physical development and are not required solely on the basis of financial con- - siderations. 6. If a parking problem were to occur, adequate room exists on the site to provide additional parking spaces. Seconded by Mayor Greavu.
