Next Meeting of the Edina Planning Commission May 14. 2014. CITY OF EDINA MEMO w91NA City Hall • Phone 952-927-8861 Fax 952-826-0389 • www.CityofEdina.com O 19UU Date: April 23, 2014 To: Planning Commission From: Cary Teague, Community Development Director Re: Sketch Plan Review — 3330 66th Street (Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative) The Planning Commission is asked to consider a sketch plan request to remodel and expand the existing TCF Bank building, located at 3330 66th Street. (See property location on pages Al—A3.) The applicant proposes to remodel and expand the building into 39 units of small studio apartments for young adults who have experienced homelessness. The size of the units would range from 355-456 square feet. Each unit would contain a full kitchen and bathroom. The building would contain offices for on-site service providers and property management. There would also be a community area for residents; a fitness area; a computer lab and a laundry room. (See applicant narrative and plans on pages A7 A16.) The site is 39,204 square feet in size. The existing bank is 18,179 square feet. The proposed addition would be 11,888 square feet. The building would remain two stories. The remodel of the building would retain the existing brick, and the addition would be brick with metal panels. (See building renderings on pages A14—A16.) There would be 25 surface parking stalls. No enclosed parking is proposed. The applicants have indicated in their narrative that 16% of their residents would have cars. In similar Beacon project in other cities, 7% of their residents have cars. Therefore, they believe they would have adequate parking. They would anticipate about 8 parking stalls needed for residents and 6 for staff. Residents are expected to utilize the Metro Transit bus service available across the street at Southdale. A parking and traffic study would be completed with a formal development application. All of the 39 units would be considered affordable housing, and would apply towards the City and Met Council's goal for affordable housing. The Comprehensive Plan defines the site and area as RM, Regional Medical. The RM allows for senior housing on a case by case basis, however, does not allow other housing. Therefore, a Comprehensive Plan Amendment would be required. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 To accommodate the request, the following would be required: MEMO �gZNA, lA ow e ,:; �O IBeB A Rezoning from POD -1, Planned Office District -1, to PUD, Planned Unit Development. 2. A Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to allow housing other than Senior Housing in the Regional Medical District. This property is located within an area of the City that is designated as a "Potential Area of Change" within the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. (See page A3.) The Comprehensive Plan states that within the Potential Areas of Change, "A development proposal that involves a Comprehensive Plan Amendment or a rezoning will require a Small Area Plan study prior to planning application. However, the authority to initiate a Small Area Plan rests with the City Council." The City Council is therefore requested to determine if a Small Area Plan is necessary. Comprehensive Plan Only senior housing is allowed within the Regional Medical District. Below in red is the new language from the recently amended Comprehensive Plan: Nonresidential and Mixed Use Categories Description, Land Uses Development Guidelines Density Guidelines RM Hospitals, senior housing*, Form -based design Floor to Area Ratio - Per Regional Medical medical and dental offices standards for building current Zoning Code: and clinics, and laboratories placement, massing maximum of 1.0 for for performing medical or and street -level medical office uses. dental research, diagnostic treatment.

The Comprehensive Plan was amended to allow senior housing in the RM District adjacent to the Fairview Southdale Hospital, as part of the 6500 France project. If the project is found to City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 MEMO A. �1 o 0 1 be acceptable, this definition could be expanded for "specialty housing" as deemed appropriate by the City Council, when specific goals of the Comprehensive Plan are achieved. Below could serve as potential language for consideration.

Consideration for housing in the RM District and at higher densities includes: proximity to hospitals, proximity to low density uses, utilities capacity, level of transit service available, and impact on adjacent roads. Other desired items to allow greater density for senior housing would include: Below grade parking, provision of park or open space, affordable housing, sustainable design principles, and provision of public art. A case could be made for allowing specialty housing in this location as it would reuse an existing building (sustainability); provide a 100% affordable housing development; be in close proximity to Metro .Transit; be located on a high visibility arterial roadway; and be completely separated from low density residential. Traffic impacts, further consideration of sustainable design and public art would be considered with a formal application.

Beacon has entered into a purchase agreement with the owners at 3330 66 Street West and intends to convert the existing building into a residential apartment building. The site is currently being used as a bank with a drive through facility. Designed as supportive, affordable housing, the building will contain units, as well as office and resident amenities. The building will feature 39 studio units, ranging in size from 355 square feet to 456 square feet. Each apartment will contain a full kitchen and bathroom. The building will contain offices for on- site service providers and property management. There will be a community area for residents, as well as a fitness area, computer lab and laundry room. The site is .9 acres. The project incorporates the entire existing 18,179 square foot building and also includes an 11,888 square foot addition. The remodeled building, with the addition, will have a 12,019 square feet building footprint and a total floor area of 30,067 square feet. The building will remain two stories, plus the existing basement. The design retains the brick on the existing building. Expected exterior materials on the addition will be brick and metal panels. The project site is bounded by West 66th Street to the south, Barrie Road to the west, and office buildings to the east and north. The site features two outdoor courtyards. The primary entrance is accessed off Barrie Road. The parking lot, as designed, has 25 parking stalls. Landscaping along Barrie Road could be removed and the parking lot expanded, should a future user require additional parking. Beacon believes 25 parking spots would be sufficient to serve the residents, guests and staff. In other Beacon buildings that serve a similar population, on average, 16% of residents have cars. In the most similar building, 7% of the residents have cars. Thus, conservatively, Beacon would expect no more than 8 parking stalls will be required for residents. In addition, the building is expected to have 6 staff people. There will be no facility vehicles requiring a parking stall. Beacon is prepared to conduct a parking and traffic study to verify the parking need for the proposed use. In addition, the project site is located across the street from the Southdale transit hub. Also, 2 high frequency bus routes stop immediately adjacent to the property— route G to Downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota and route 515 to Richfield and Bloomington. Thus, it is expected all residents can utilize public transportation reducing the dependency on cars. We would also expect that future uses would also take advantage of the proximity to public transportation. Finally, the project will include bicycle parking. Beacon, collaborating with Edina Community Lutheran Church, plans to seek funding from Minnesota Housing, Hennepin County and several private funding sources to make the units affordable to homeless young adults between the ages of 18 and 22. 66 West Apartment's units meet the Met Council definition of affordable rental housing according to the Livable Communities Act. Construction of these units will apply towards the City and Met Council's goal of creating 212 additional affordable housing units in Edina between 2011 and 2020. The project is consistent with policy as stated in the City of Edina's Comprehensive Plan (Comprehensive Plan) and Greater Southdale Area Final Land Use and Transpiration Study Report (Report). The Report states in the vision that the "Greater Southdale Area is a place for people to live, work, play and shop." Thus, the area "is a vibrant mix of housing, jobs, commerce, health care, and entertainment." 47 "Development in the Greater Southdale Area can meet the housing needs of Edina with options that may not fit in other locations within the city..." (Page 3). The Land Use Plan, as outlined in the Report, "advocates a strong component of mixed-use in the Southdale Area... This approach has been taken in order to flexibly address future market opportunities and to balance traffic generation by mixing land use types and their resulting peak hour traffic characteristics." (page 32). The parcel, 3330 66`h Street West, is slated as "mixed use" in the final Land Use Plan Concept in the report. (page 33). The Comprehensive Plan, which postdates the Report, identifies the project site as Regional Medical. However, it identifies the Southdale Area as a "potential area of change." Thus, the plan acknowledges that Southdale appears to be an area "where change may occur during the life of this Plan." (page 4-30). The Potential Areas of Change were identified "as suitable areas to accommodate additional households and jobs... Because the City is fully developed, additional housing would have to occur through redevelopment." (Page 4-31). The project is supported by three Land Use Policies within the Plan. "1. The City will endeavor to accommodate private redevelopment in the Greater Southdale Area..." "S. In reviewing development proposals, the City will examine how land use and transportation are integrated to ensure that new development and redevelopment expands non -motorized travel options." And "7. _ The City will seek opportunities to increase the supply of affordable housing." (Page 4-34). �V ra.

(See property location on pages Al—A5.) The housing would include 70 units of senior housing with services and 30 memory care units. Ten percent (10%) of the units would be for residents below 50% median income level. (See narrative and plans on pages A6—A32.) The building would be four stories tall and would not be connected to the existing twelve (12) story 263 unit apartment building. The existing site is 5.85 acres in size; therefore, the density is 45 units per acre. With the proposed addition of 100 units; the density would increase to 64 units per acre. The property is zoned Planned Senior Residential District — 4, PSR -4 and guided High Density Residential. The Planning Commission and City Council previously considered a sketch plan review for a 76 unit senior housing project back in 2013. (See minutes from both those meetings on pages A33—A38.) The Comprehensive Plan describes High Density Residential as between 12-30 units per acre. However, density for senior housing may be increased, based on proximity to hospitals, proximity to low density uses, utilities capacity, level of transit service available, and impact on adjacent roads. Other desired items to allow greater density for senior housing would include: Below grade parking, provision of park or open space, affordable housing, sustainable design principles, and provision of public art. A case could be made for higher density in this instance: the building would be separated and screened from the single family homes to the east by the existing 12 -story building; there are adequate utilities to serve the site; transit service is available on York Avenue; below grade parking is proposed; and 10% of the units would be affordable. Traffic impacts, sustainable design and public art would be considered with a formal application. City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. Edina, MN 55424 MEMO The following is a compliance table demonstrating how the proposed new building would comply with the PSR -4, Planned Senior Residential -4 Standards. Compliance Table * Height of the building is estimated ** Subject to Council Approval *** Variance Required Based on the table above, the proposal would require a site plan review, with a Variance for the proposed Density. In addition, the City Council would have to approve the proposed density for over 30 units per acre.

Traffic A traffic study would need to be completed to determine impacts on adjacent roadways. However, given that the entire site is zoned for Senior Housing, and the proposed addition is for assisted living and memory care, the site would not generate a significant amount of traffic compared to an all age apartment complex. This is an area of the City that could potentially sustain higher densities.

The Yorktown Continental Apartments is a 12 -story building of 263 one bedroom apartments for independent seniors. The site is within walking distance to the Galleria, Southdale Mall, Target, CVS, Walgreens, Cub Foods, Beryl's, YMCA, entertainment venues, and The Hennepin County Library Government Center. Bus lines are conveniently located in front of the site on York Avenue. The current parcel is 5.85 acres and zoned PSR -4, Planned Residence District. The parcel is planned to be subdivided and replatted during the City of Edina entitlement process. Overall Development Goals: • Create a sense of Community Pride • Provide a warm and inviting environment • Connection to Nature — indoor and outdoor 4 Sense of quality and dignity • Maximize the potential of the site The proposed building is four stories in height with underground parking. The 100 unit facility is being programmed and designed to accommodate a continuum of aging, including Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care Units. Our plan calls for at least 10% of the total units will be for residents below 50% median income level. The total square footage of the project is proposed to be 120,000 +/- NSF. The parking for the parcel is planned for 50 stalls enclosed below the Senior Housing project and 223 stalls on grade. Senior Housing with Services (70 units) Private apartments with full kitchens and laundry. Support services for those who have more complex care requirements. Staff is on-site 24 -hours -a -day. • Independent Living is for seniors who wish to eliminate the burden of home ownership for an apartment and facility offering numerous conveniences and amenities. • Assisted Living is for seniors who wish to live as independently as possible, yet may require assistance with some of the activities of daily living. Memory Care (30 units) The private memory care apartments at Continental Gardens will be secure and specially designed for those with mild to moderate memory loss from Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. The area is designed to bring comfort, peace and familiarity to the residents while providing exceptional care.

Our proposed street scape will include new tree plantings, site furnishings, lights, and sidewalks. Our goal is to create an urban style setting, fronting the first level of our four story stepped facade. This fagade will have a mixture of classic white angular stone and brick veneer seen in many of the residential Edina neighborhoods, on the first level. Above the precast stone sills of the second level windows, will be a mixture of siding broken up with semi -recessed balconies overlooking the street below. The fourth level will be set back and roof terraces to break down the scale. The west fagade will be warm and inviting while ensuring privacy for the residents. It is the intention to create an urban building edge which would help break down the scale of the existing residential tower beyond to the east.

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Sketch Plan Review —Continental Gardens Assisted Living, 7151 York Avenue Planner Presentation Planner Teague informed the Commission they are being asked to consider a sketch plan request to build a 76 unit assisted living building, attached to the existing Continental Gardens Senior Living apartments at 7151 York Avenue. The proposal is to create a "senior campus," and build the addition to the east side of the building. The units are Page 5 of 9 33 described by the applicant as "moderately priced." The building would be four stories tall and be connected by an elevated skyway to the existing twelve (12) story 264 unit apartment building. The existing site is 5.85 acres in size; therefore, the density is 45 units per acre. With the proposed addition of 76 units; the density would increase to 58 units per acre. The property is zoned Planned Senior Residential District -4, PSR -4 and guided High Density Residential. The applicant is requesting a Sketch Plan review to solicit comments from the Planning Commission and City Council. Opinions or comments provided to the Appearing for the Applicant Terri Cermak with Cermak & Rhoades Architects. Discussion Chair Staunton asked Planner Teague if this request was similar to the request reviewed and approved at 7500 York Avenue. Planner Teague responded in the affirmative. The 7500 Co-op partnered with Ebenezer to construct a similar facility. Commissioner Carr said at this time her comments concern landscaping, indicating if they proceed with an application they will need a landscaping plan and materials board to ensure' compatibility in exterior materials between the existing and new building. Carr said she wants the final outcome to look like it's designed as one, not piecemeal. Chair Staunton said it appears to him that the use is good; adding if the Commission agrees with the proposed use and increased density what the Commission needs to express is if the configuration of the new building is "right" and if the design is "right". Applicant Presentation Ms. Cermak addressed the Commission and explained the property owners are undertaking a large renovation project on the existing building that includes new windows, landscaping and walkability features. Ms. Cermak said the proposed new structure is designed to be a natural progression of the existing building. She explained a "skyway" is proposed to facilitate the movement of residents between buildings. Cermak said she believes the design of the new structure minimizes impact to surrounding properties because of the grade and buffer. She stated close attention would also be paid to the Richfield side of the property. Concluding, Cermak reported that interior space would be created to facilitate shared activities between buildings Page 6 of 9 Discussion Chair Staunton asked Ms. Cermak if the intent was for people to relocate between buildings as a permanent move or would they rotate in and out. Ms. Cermak responded at this time they are still doing the market analysis; however, they believe when one moves out of the" independent" living senior building their move to the new assisted living facility is permanent. Commissioner Platteter asked Planner Teague how Richfield would "hear about this". Teague responded they will be informed when/if a formal application is made. Teague explained a public hearing notice is sent to property owners (including Richfield) within 1000 -feet of the subject site. Richfield would then pass this notice on to their residents. Commissioner Carr asked Ms. Cermak if other designs were considered. Ms. Cermak responded that they are in the process of design; however, need to take a lot into consideration (windows mechanical) when tying the proposed building to the existing building. Commissioner Potts said that overall he appreciates the property owner coming before the Commission with the sketch plan adding he also likes the "residential" feel of the proposed building. Continuing, Potts suggested that they look at implementing sustainability measures either through Leed certification or working with Xcel on their energy programs. Potts said when -this comes before the Commisslorrfor#ormal review -he would like -to --see what measures were - - - taken to reduce energy consumption. Potts also noted this project is an increase in density. Commissioner Platteter commented when designing the new building the applicant needs to consider "what the City gets from this". He suggested looking for ways to create walkability, possibly implementing bike paths, landscaping, etc. to create a better pedestrian experience. Commissioner Forrest acknowledged the difficulty in working with an existing building and agreed with Commissioners Potts and Platteter that sustainability and walkability were important. Commissioner Schroeder said what's important to him is how the site is viewed and how to formulate a new pedestrian environment. He noted in the 1970's large buildings were setback from the street; however, over the past few years the Commission and Council have been working on creating more of a pedestrian centered corridor in the greater Southdale area. He noted there are new developments within the greater Southdale area that are now closer to the street, adding to the pedestrian experience. Schroeder also noted there is no sidewalk connection from this building to the street reiterating the goal of the City is to foster a greater pedestrian experience. Concluding, Schroder said he was curious how the new building would function if it was placed on the opposite side. Schroeder said placing the new building on the York side would lessen the scale of the very tall older building and may create a very good experience for residents of the buildings and the City. Page 7 of 9 - Ms. Cermak responded that was looked at; however, maintaining front yard setbacks would be a problem. Commissioner Schroeder explained there are ways to work with the City to allow construction of a building closer to the street and mitigate increased density. Schroder pointed out the CVS site; as a recent example of a redevelopment that also addresses the pedestrian experience. Chair Staunton also noted the available PUD zoning process which is one way to work with the City when a site has "issues" with the zoning ordinance. He added PUD is a tool that can be implemented to allow flexibility from City zoning requirements including density and setbacks. Staunton suggested taking a fresh look at this development by keeping sustainability in mind and trying to create a streetscape that services more than just automobiles. Commissioner Platteter commented that to him connectivity is important, adding he would like to see an area created where the pedestrian feels welcome. He pointed out finding a way to connect the subject buildings to the library and YMCA would not only be good for the pedestrian experience but it would be an important amenity to the residents of the building(s). Commissioner Schroeder suggested that the applicant look at this site as a clean slate that puts the pedestrian first with a design that challenges the City. Chair Staunton thanked Ms. Cermak for her time B. Zoning Ordinance Update— Residential Development VIII. CORRESPONDENCE AND PETITIONS Chair Staunton acknowledged back of packet materials.

SKETCH PLAN, 7151 YORK AVENUE Community Development Director Presentation Mr. Teague presented the Sketch Plan for 7151 York Avenue. The proponent proposed to build a four- story 76 -unit assisted living complex attached to the Continental Gardens Senior Living apartments at 7151 York Avenue. The proposal was to create a senior campus: and build the addition to the east side of the building. The building would be four stories tall and would be connected by an elevated skyway to the existing twelve -story 264 apartment building. The existing site was 5.85 acres in size; therefore, the density was 45 units per acre. With the proposed addition of 76 units, the density would increase to 58 Page 7 437 Minutes/Edina City Council/May 7, 2013 units per acre. The property was zoned Planned Senior Residential District — 4, PSR -4 and guided High Density Residential. The units are described by the proponent as "moderately priced." There was discussion on the cap for High Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan, of 30 units per acre, noting that assisted living units would have less demand than other high density uses for transportation and parking while having the same demand for in -ground utilities. It was noted that EMT service was well positioned for this area, and police service for this type of development would be in low demand. Mr. Houle provided the Council with information on sewer and water capacity in relation to the Metropolitan Council. He advised that the Comprehensive Plan projected 20 to 30 years into the future, was approved by the Metropolitan Council, and included a high-density land use in the Greater Southdale Area, as well as housing in commercial areas of the City. Those numbers were taken into account by the Metropolitan Council in determining the size of the relief sewer that was built through Richfield. Proponent Presentation Terri Cermak, Cermak, Rhoades Architects, answered questions of the Council relating to affordability, anticipated number of staff, layout and amenities, and transit connections. Comments from the Council for future discussions on the plan were: the importance of the percentage of County Elderly Waiver Units that would be guaranteed, revising the plan from a second -story skyway to a first -floor connection, creating a circle on the south end of the site as opposed to widening the space between the buildings, including a sidewalk extension to the street, the importance of "pedestrian friendly," and completion of a market study with penetration rates. Staff was directed to provide the Council with additional information on the density cap relating to senior plans in PSR Districts, including why the cap was set and how this project related to the cap.
