Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff requests non-binding feedback on the proposed RPUD development. Background The subject property was originally developed as Amber Woods, a 10 unit office park condominium project in 2005. The site was graded, parking, and utilities installed, and in 2008 the first building was built. A second foundation was poured also, but no other development occurred on the property until 2017, when a Conditional Use Permit was granted and a day care center moved into the existing building. In the 2040 Comprehensive Plan,the property was guided for high density residential,with a density of 20-25 units per acre. Previously,the guided land use was commercial. Proposal The property owner desires to replat and develop the remaining portions of the original Amber Woods development into a 48 unit apartment building. The building would be 4 stories, including one level of underground parking for 66 stalls. The building is L shaped,with the short end to the north. The existing parking lot will be retained. Access to the underground parking area will be at the south end of the building. Access to the site is via an existing entrance off of Wayzata Blvd that is shared with the property to the east. The building is proposed with a flat roof,with a roof top deck over the 2nd floor at the south end of the structure. Individual apartments will have a balcony. The building exterior is shown as brick and siding. Exposed facades of the underground parking suggest a rough textured concrete block,this should be confirmed. The table below provides analysis of the project based on the RPUD requirements for Attached Family structures.
