PREPARED BY: Eric Zweber, Senior Planner AGENDA NO. 1,1/•V1• ATTACHMENTS: Resolution; Site Map; Existing and Proposed Land Use Map; Site Plan for Senior Housing and Commercial Draft APPROVED BY: Excerpt of January 14 Planning Commission Minutes. Oa.) RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt the Resolution Approving the 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, subject to the Approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment by the Metropolitan Council ISSUE 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 JANUARY 14 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment request at their January 14 meeting. Two residents spoke during the public hearing,the first concerned predominately about traffic and the second being concerned about property values. Staff responded that there will be fewer accesses onto South Robert Trail with the development than the number that existed with Genz Ryan. It is anticipated that additional traffic will be experienced at Lower 147th Street and South Robert Street but not on the western local streets. Because of the configuration of Cambrian Avenue and Camero Lane, senior housing traffic should not travel past existing residents as those streets do not outlet into other parts of the community. In response to the property value concern, staff responded that the proposed structure will be made of high quality materials and that a reduction in property value was not experienced in the neighborhood when Cameo Place was constructed. Commissioner Miller asked if there were any opportunities to improve the pedestrian connection across South Robert Trail. Staff stated that the City has done a number of pedestrian crossing improvements within Downtown but not on South Robert Trail.When asked,MnDOT was not supportive of those same improvements at the 145th Street and South Robert Trail intersection. Commissioner Miller stated that the City Council should consider a tunnel under South Robert Trail near Lower 147th Street similar to the crossing at the High School. Chair Powell requested that staff continue conversations with MnDOT because they have recently adopted Complete Streets regulations which promotes walkability. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the IUP without any changes to the conditions on a 4 to 0 vote. Commissioner Kurle was absent from the meeting. 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 147`h 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 147th 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. 2 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 Camera 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 Camera Lane because the senior housing creates less traffic than other high density housing and them is no access to any other parts of the City using Cambrian Avenue or Camera 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 finds that the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment supports a number of Comprehensive Plan Goals and Polices. 3 RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission has recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Staff recommends a motion to approve the resolution approving the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. 4 CITY OF ROSEMOUNT DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2014 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 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 WHEREAS, the City of Rosemount is requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment concerning properties legally described as follows: Lots 24 through 27, Marian Terrace Replat, Dakota County, Minnesota WHEREAS, on January 14, 2014, the Planning Commission of the City of Rosemount held a public hearing and reviewed the Comprehensive Plan amendment changing the land use designation for Lots 24 through 27, Marian Terrace Replat from LDR—Low Density Residential to DT- Downtown; and WHEREAS, on January 14, 2014, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan; and WHEREAS, on February 3, 2014, the City Council of the City of Rosemount reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendations; and.

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. Senior Planner Zweber reviewed the staff report. Commissioner Miller commented that the parking seemed rather limi ted in the co n cept des i gn and asked how that was decided upon. Mr. Zweber stated that the CDA evaluates their other buildings and the underground parking with the circular lot for dropping off and visitors works well at their other locations. He further stated that the Commission can evaluate the design in more detail at the February 25,2014 Planning Commission meeting with the site plan review. Commissioner Miller then asked about the lack of pedestrian access across Highway 3. Mr. Zweber replied that the City is pretty limited in what can be done for crossings across Highway 3 due to restrictions by MnDOT. Fortunately,most of the Downtown facilities are on the west side of Highway 3 and MVTA will pick up passengers on site. Commissioner Miller stated the City should explore other options of crossing such as another underpass and Chairperson Powell agreed that more pressure should be put on MnDOT to come up with a safer solution. Commissioner Husain asked if the gas station across the street from the senior housing will present any problems. Mr. Zweber stated staff does not expect the gas station to affect the senior housing. The public hearing was opened at 7:07p.m. Laura Radosevich, 14765 Cambrian Avenue,asked how the project will affect Cambrian Avenue with increased traffic and in and out access,and the status of the gas station. She stated it is very difficult to get onto Highway 3 when even the antique business is open. She asked what the plans are for the other Genz Ryan parcels. Mr. Zweber responded the gas station will open once all of the conditions of the building permit has been satisfied. He further stated that no one from the senior housing project should have to drive south on Cambrian Avenue. With respect to the other parcels of the Genz Ryan site,Mr. Zweber stated that staff has evaluated the possibility of commercial businesses going there which would provide additional accesses to the site from Highway 3. Chairperson Powell asked about the possibility of a commercial vendor wanting more space and purchasing additional lots on Cambrian Avenue. Mr. Zweber stated that if vendors needed more space than what was available on the remaining Genz Ryan lots, staff would suggest other areas within Rosemount. Cheri Klatt, 14770 Cambrian Avenue,asked if the project would be independent living or assisted living and how it would affect the values of the neighborhood homes. She also asked of the possibility of another three story building being built on the remaining Genz Ryan lots. Mr. Zweber responded that the CDA senior housing project would be independent living and the building materials used would be high quality�exceedin those typically used in the nei g hborhood. He further stated that although four stories are allowed in the Downtown District, staff anticipates a one story commercial building being built on the remaining Genz Ryan site. Laura Radosevich, 14765 Cambrian Avenue,asked if the sewer line on the concept design diagram was a new line or the same one currently in place. Mr. Zweber stated that the current line is a clay line that runs down to Master Transmission and a new line needs to be installed when the clay line is removed. There were no further comments from the public. MOTION by Powell to Close the Public Hearing. Second by Weber. Ayes: 4. Nays: None. Motion approved. Public hearing was closed at 7:27pm. Commissioner Miller asked if there will be residential allowed on the first floor and Mr. Zweber replied that it will be allowed within the PUD agreement. Chairperson Powell asked when additional information will be available on the site plan. Mr. Zweber stated that staff is discussing with the CDA to host an open house for the public prior to the Planning Commission meeting. MOTION by Weber to recommend the City Council approve 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, subject to the Approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment by the Metropolitan Council. Second by Husain. Ayes: 4. Nays: None. Motion approved.
