CITYofORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />46 1NO. <br />FINDINGS <br />1. This application was reviewed as Zoning Files l?2640-2641. <br />2. The property is located in the B*l Limited Neighborhood Business District, <br />property consists of approximately 6.7 acres. <br />The <br />3. The development plans include a 23.000 s.f. two-stor>- off!ce building and a 62 <br />unit "55+" senior housing building. The office building would be located on a <br />parcel appro.ximaiely 2.7 acres in size. The residential use would be located on <br />a parcel approximately 4.0 acres in size. <br />4. Re/oning of the property from B*1 General Business to B-6 and RPUD is <br />essentially down zoning of the property as the pemiitted uses in the B-6 and <br />RPUD districts would have less potential impact on the adjacent residential <br />properties than certain allowed B-l retail uses. The proposed office use and <br />senior residential component will not result in the same traffic levels or <br />development pattern as a retail environment. <br />5. The 62 unit building on the 4 acre site would provide 15.5 units'acre of senior <br />housing units at a variety of unit sizes and rental rates. The proposed rezoning <br />to RPUD Residential Planned Unit Development zoning district is appropriate <br />to allow for the units'acre density requested based on two key factors: <br />a. Tlic land is currently zoned to allow high intensity retail uses. Tlie <br />proposed higher density senior housing use will have a substantially lower <br />impact on the adjacent properties and tlie transportation system than <br />would a high intensity retail use. <br />b. The senior housing use has a substantially lower impact in tenns of <br />traffic generation and impact on adjacent properties, particularly the single <br />family residential neighborhood directly adjacent to the property, than <br />would other tvpes of higher density residential development. <br />Page 2 of 13
