The proposed facility is a Family Service Center for the City of New Brighton which is designed for the NE corner of 10th Street NW and Old Highway 8; between 10th and the freeway. The proposed use is in a B-4 district and is a permitted use allowed by Section 5-340 with reference to 5-220. The building is proposed to contain: community service offices; community education offices and classrooms; community meeting rooms, exercise, gym, and child indoor play areas; and support areas. The facility is designed as a two story building. The currently proposed area is approximately 77,700 sf of which 42,440 sf is located on the first floor. Structural provisions will be made for adding a future third floor over the east half of the building, and the building is set back from Old Highway 8 to permit adding ground level floor space to the west side. The parking areas will be located to the south and east of the building. It is anticipated that the existing creek will remain. It will be crossed or covered only for pedestrian and vehicle access as indicated on the Site Plan. The building is designed to occupy that portion of the site, north of the creek, that is presently fairly open. The landscape design has not been developed but the concept is to re-establish the natural character with materials that now exist on the site.
