Preliminary Planned Residential Development <br />Planning Commission Report; 5-21-19 <br /> <br /> <br />Page 31 <br />(cont.)  Given that a) the proposed level of parking is very near the minimum code standards <br />for senior housing development, b) that Dominium’s underlying tenant data suggests <br />proposed parking will be sufficient, and c) that the proposed parking ratio is amongst <br />the highest for similar facilities in the metro, staff is supportive of the minor <br />deviations to parking for the Senior building as requested as part of the PRD. <br /> To guard against possible problems, staff would suggest the City can work with the <br />residents along 7th Avenue to either sign that street as no parking, or to create a <br />resident only parking district in that area. There are no other convenient existing on- <br />street options in the area. <br />Dominium Analysis (Workforce Building): <br /> Under standard zoning per section 11-030(3)(D), a 154-unit multi-family building <br />would need a minimum of two (2) spaces per unit, half of which (77) need to be <br />enclosed. Beyond that, there are to be 10 visitor spaces for the first ten units, and 72 <br />spaces for the remaining 144 units. That equates to a total of 390 spaces for the <br />Workforce portion of the proposed project, or a ratio of 2.5 spaces per unit. <br /> As proposed, the Workforce portion of the Dominium site intends to provide 120 <br />underground parking spaces and 101 surface parking spaces for a total of 221 spaces <br />at a ratio of 1.44 spaces per unit. For comparative local context, the Main Street <br />Village apartments adjacent to this site have 125 units served by 239 total spaces <br />(ratio of 1.9 spaces per unit). <br /> Just as they did for the proposed Senior building, Dominium provided the following <br />comparables and use metrics to justify their proposed parking ratio: <br /> <br />Comparable Dominium Workforce Housing Projects – Parking Ratios <br />Property City Units Surface Spaces Garage Spaces Ratio <br />Albertville Meadows Albertville 75 96 61 2.09 <br />Main Street Village New Brighton 125 103 136 1.91 <br />Bluffs at Nine Mile Creek Eden Prairie 188 92 241 1.77 <br />Landings at Silver Lake Village St. Anthony 263 231 221 1.72 <br />Grand Central Flats Colombia Heights 148 87 135 1.50 <br />Midtown Village Workforce New Brighton 154 101 120 1.44 <br />Millberry St. Paul 121 42 95 1.13 <br />Union Flats St. Paul 217 50 182 1.07 <br />Preserve at Shady Oak Minnetonka 220 81 152 1.06 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
