2. REQUEST NARRATIVE <br /> REQUESTED UNITS PER ACRE UNDER THE NEW PRD <br /> Our proposed project will include 66 Existing Transitional Care and Skilled Nursing Apartment <br /> Units, 56 Independent Living Apartment Units, 40 Assisted Living Apartment Units, 24 Assisted <br /> Living Memory Care Apartment Units and 8 double additional Skilled Nursing Apartment units <br /> (16 beds). The total number of will be 202. Our new site is 6.777 acres (per survey 2-10-2020). <br /> The units per acre will be 202 units/6.777 acres = 29.8 units per acre. This units per acre ratio is <br /> under the 50 units per acre allowed by the City Comprehensive Plan. <br /> PARKING REQUIREMENTS <br /> Resident Car Usage <br /> It might help to describe the specific driving needs of our residents. The transitional care <br /> residents stay for 30 days or less and do not drive. The age of the skilled nursing resident is 90 <br /> and up and they do not drive.The age of independent living senior market for this project is <br /> 75 years and most will drive. The age of the assisted living senior market is 85 years and most <br /> will not drive.The 24 assisted living memory care ages vary because the forms of dementia <br /> occur in younger senior populations but they do not drive. <br /> An additional consideration is that 76 parking spaces for the skilled nursing beds employees <br /> are during peak staffing times. Many of our departments get considerably smaller after 3 or <br /> 4pm such as housekeeping/maintenance which would go from 7 spots to 1 after 3pm every <br /> day of the week. Another department, therapy, goes from 12 parking spaces down to 1 or 2 <br /> after 3pm. These spaces (approx. 16) are now available to be used by visitors -who typically <br /> visit during after normal business hours. <br /> Existing Parking <br /> The existing surface parking includes 76 cars for staff, 11 cars for transitional care, 0 cars for <br /> the skilled nursing residents and 12 cars for visitors.These spaces have met the needs of this <br /> facility for the past 65 years.There is an additional rented lot of about 12 cars behind the <br /> adjacent lots along the service drive. An off street parking problem occurs on Black Oak <br /> Drive because of the limited number of parking spaces at the main entry. <br /> Proposed Parking <br /> Existing Parking to Remain 8 cars <br /> New Surface Parking 142 cars <br /> New Underground Garage Parking 60 cars <br /> Total 210 cars <br /> Our proposed plan adds 14 new spaces near the lower level Skilled Nursing lobby entry. It <br /> provides 82 spaces on the upper level adjacent to a secondary entrance into the Assisted <br /> Living building, with a connection to a link to the main entrance lobby of the Skilled Nursing <br /> and Transitional Care Neighborhoods. This connection will mitigate the off street parking that <br /> currently occurs on Black Oak drive. An additional 46 spaces are adjacent to the new entry <br /> to the 120 Independent Living and Assisted Living apartments. <br /> The new facility also includes 60 spaces in an underground garage beneath the new <br /> building. Those spaces are connected to elevators to the new lobby and apartments. <br /> 4 LAND USE APPLICATION: 1101 BLACK OAK DRIVE, NEW BRIGHTON, MN 55112 FEBRUARY 14,2020 <br />
