SUMMARY
Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA), partnering with the City,intends to
construct a second affordable senior housing project in Rosemount. The CDA has identified the
former Genz-Ryan site for this development because of its proximity to the other CDA senior
housing building (Cameo Place), to transit and to the services available in Downtown Rosemount.
Upon evaluation of the Genz-Ryan site configuration, access and the desire for some commercial
development,it was identified that the senior housing design would have more flexibility with the
addition of the northern most, four single family lots on the west side of Cambrian Avenue. The
CDA approached these four homeowners, purchased the three northern homes and has a purchase
agreement on the fourth home. To allow development of the CDA senior housing, the City has
initiated the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for these four homes from the existing LDR—Low
Density Residential to DT—Downtown.
Applicant: City of Rosemount
Owner: Dakota County Community Development Agency and
Leonard Dahn
Location: 14710, 14720, 14730 and 14740 Cambrian Avenue.
Area in Acres: 1 Acres
Comprehensive Plan Designation: LDR—Low Density Residential
Current Zoning: R-1A—Low Density Residential
BACKGROUND
The City and the CDA have been working to find a location for a second affordable senior housing
building. The CDA currently has a 44 unit senior housing building, Cameo Place that is located on the
northwest corner of Lower 147th Street and Cameo Avenue, about one block west of the proposed
Comprehensive Plan amendment. The City identified approximately a dozen sites for the new
building,many of which were either north of Connemara Avenue or east of South Robert Trail. The
CDA preferred the former Genz-Ryan site over the others because of its proximity to Cameo Place,to
transit, and to services and activities for the residents.
The CDA has located senior housing buildings close to each other in other communities so that the
two buildings can share a building manager and a maintenance worker. Cameo Place is one of the
CDA's smaller senior housing buildings at 44 units. The new senior housing building is proposed to
be 60 units, the typical size of a CDA project. The CDA has stated that the 104 total units would be
suitable for a single manger and maintenance worker. Additionally, Cameo Place has a catering
kitchen in which the CAP agency operates a hot lunch program for seniors. This lunch program is
open to all seniors, but due to funding can only occur at one property within the community. The
Genz-Ryan/Cambrian Avenue location would allow these residents to walk to Cameo Place to partake
in the hot lunch program.
Concept Design
The concept design for the senior housing has the L-shaped building along South Robert Trail and
Lower 147`h Street frontages. Site access would be from either the intersection of Camero Lane and
Cambrian Avenue or from a right-in/right-out access from South Robert Trail. The access is located
across from the strip mall housing Rosemount Saw and Tool. A private drive will connect these two
access points and provide access to the senior housing parking lot and underground parking. The
private drive will also provide access to the remaining former Genz-Ryan property that is being
marketed for future commercial development.
Future Project Timing
The CDA has approached the four homeowners on Cambrian Avenue and has purchased the three
northern most homes (14710, 14720 and 14730 Cambrian Avenue;Lots 25,26 and 27,Marian Terrace
Replat). The fourth house (14740 Cambrian Avenue;Lot 24,Marian Terrace Replat) is currently
owned by Leonard Dahn and the CDA has a purchase agreement with Mr. Dahn with a closing date
in March.
The CDA has hired an architect for the Rosemount senior housing project. The architect is working
on a site plan with tentative review by the Planning Commission during their February 25 meeting.
With this schedule, the CDA could receive the City and Metropolitan Council approval by May.
Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account Grant
The City received an affirmative recommendation from the Metropolitan Council's Livable
Communities Advisory Committee and the Community Development Commission for$942,000 in
Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) grant funds for the Rosemount/CDA senior
housing project. The project was recommended due to the proximity to transit, services and
pedestrian accessibility available Downtown. The funds are programmed for acquisition and
demolition of the four Cambrian Avenue homes, sanitary and storm sewer improvements, and
improved pedestrian access to the Cameo Place senior housing. The full Metropolitan Council is
scheduled to take action on the LCDA grant awards at their January 22 meeting.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GOALS
When evaluating a Comprehensive Plan amendment request, the Planning Commission should
consider if there are goals and policies that support the request.. Below, staff has highlighted a number
of Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies that support adding the four single family lots to the DT—
Downtown district to allow the development of the CDA senior housing on the southwest corner of
Lower 147th Street and South Robert Trail.
Housing Elements Goals and Policies
5. Locate the different housing styles within the appropriate areas.
C. Locate high density residential with access to the collector and arterial street network.
It is anticipated that the Minnesota Department of Transportation will approve only a right-in/right-out access
onto South Robert Trail(MN HWY 3)for the CDA senior housing. The addition of the four single family
lots on Cambrian Avenue would allow a full access at the intersection of Cambrian Avenue and Camero Lane
within 650 feet of South Robert Trail(a minor arterial). Staff would not expect a significant traffic impact for
the residents of Cambrian Avenue or Camero Lane because the senior housing creates less traffic than other
high density housing and there is no access to any other parts of the City using Cambrian Avenue or Camero
Lane.
D. Locate high density residential in conjunction with Downtown and the commercial areas along
County Road 42 to create mixed use neighborhoods and transit oriented districts.
The senior housing will be located Downtown in a mixed use neighborhood with access to services and transit.
E. Provide opportunities for seniors to live near their children and families.
The senior housing will be located adjacent to the single family neighborhoods to the west which could allow
seniors to live near their extended families.
6. Provide workforce and affordable housing opportunities through cooperative effort with
other agencies.
A. Work with the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) and other state and
federal agencies to provide workforce and affordable housing opportunities.
This affordable senior housing project is supported by both the CDA and the Metropolitan Council.
Staff fords that the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment supports a number of Comprehensive
Plan Goals and Polices.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the future land use
designation of Lots 24 through 27,Marian Terrace Replat from LDR—Low Density Residential to
DT-Downtown. Should the City Council approve the Comprehensive Plan amendment, the
application will move on to the Metropolitan Council for their approval.
