(Note: The applicant's explanation of how the request meets each standard may be attached on a separate sheet if sufficient space is not provided.) 1. General Standards. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Zoning Board of Adjustment shall review each application for the purpose of determining that each proposed use meets the following "General Standards", set forth in 29.1503(4)(a), and in addition, shall find adequate evidence that each use in its proposed location will: (a) Be harmonious with and in accordance with the general principles and proposals of the Land Use Policy Plan (LUPP). Explain how the request meets this standard. The proposed facility is in conformance with all the applicable LUPP standards. The LUPP calls for limited intensification of property where the use is compatible with the surrounding uses. (b) Be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be harmonious in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and that such use will not change the essential character of the area in which it is proposed. Explain how the request meets this standard. The building has a residential architectural style that fits with the existing neighborhood. The building's height is less than the church building across the street to the east. The site is heavily landscaped on all sides and is 200+feet distant from the nearest current house. The use is residential matching the surrounding uses. All the units have underground parking and the small parking lot is screened by the building and landscaping. 4 Application Form Last Updated: March 25, 2013 (c) Not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or future uses in the same general vicinity. Explain how the request meets this standard. There is nothing hazardous associated with this building or use. The facility is for retirement and as such does not have tenants that will disturb the neighborhood. The adjacent future uses are residential condominium units. (d) Be served adequately by essential public facilities and services such as highways, streets, police, fire protection, drainage structure, refuse disposal, water and sewage facilities, and/or schools. Explain how the request meets this standard. The facility is adjacent to a minor arterial and major collector street. The building is sprinkled. The drainage facilities provide an excess of detention for the site(reference the approved storm water management plan). Water and sewer in the area are adequete to serve the facility. The refuse disposal is handled internally(there is not an exterior dumpster). The facility does not the school system except that tenants of the facility are leaving single family homes that could be purchased by families with children. (e) Not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services. Explain how the request meets this standard. Public services are in place and have been paid for by the developer of the property. Additional public services are not anticipated for this facility. 5 Application Form Last Updated: March 25, 2013 (t) Not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment or conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any person, property or general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, or odors. Explain how the request meets this standard. The site produces a low level of traffic. Most of the residences will only have a single car. Noise,smoke,fumes,glare or odors are not created by this residential facility. (g) Be consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zone in which it is proposed to locate such use. Explain how the request meets this standard. The senior living cooperative is an owner-occupied facility that is fitted for placement in a residential area. The north portion of the Ringgenberg Subdivision is for medium density housing and has a mixture of single-family, 12-unit condominiums and the cooperative housing complex. 6 Application Form Last Updated: March 25, 2013 2. Residential Zone Standards. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Zoning Board of Adjustment shall review each application for the purpose of determining that each proposed use in a residential zone meets the "Residential Zone Standards", set forth in 29.1503(4)(b), which are listed below, and shall find adequate evidence that each use in its proposed location will: (a) Not create excessively higher levels of traffic than the predominant pattern in the area and not create additional traffic from the proposed use that would change the street classification and such traffic shall not lower the level of service at area intersections. Explain how the request meets this standard. The residents of the facility will in general have one car per unit. As a retirement facility they are typically using the streets at off peak hours and at a lower level than than the adjacent single family or condominium units. The traffic study for the original development included an additional 70-80 units of single family housing that will not be built as the property was purchased as ag land buffer by Iowa State University. Therefore,the traffic volume for the entire subdivision is considerably less than planned even with the addition of the cooperative housing units. (b) Not create a noticeably different travel pattern than the predominant pattern in the area. Special attention must be shown to deliveries or service trips in a residential zone that are different than the normal to and from work travel pattern in the residential area. Explain how the request meets this standard. The adjacent streets are a minor arterial and major collector. There will be no impact to the existing street network created by the cooperative housing facility. 7 Application Form Last Updated: March 25, 2013 (c) Not generate truck trips by trucks over 26,000 g.v.w. (gross vehicle weight) to and from the site except for waste collection vehicles and moving vans. Explain how the request meets this standard. This use does not generate truck trips except as allowed by waste collection vehicles and moving vans. Buses, if used, are expected to be below the 26,000 g.v.w. (d) Not have noticeably different and disruptive hours of operation. Explain how the request meets this standard. Not applicable. Facility will have standard residential use. (e) Be sufficiently desirable for the entire community that the loss of residential land is justifiable in relation to the benefit. Explain how the request meets this standard. This use intensifies the use of the property and as such preserves residential land. In addition, the construction of this facility will open up a range of affordable housing options for the community as senior sell existing houses to move into this facility. 8 Application Form Last Updated: March 25, 2013 (1) Be compatible in terms of structure placement, height, orientation, or scale with the predominate building pattern in the area. Explain how the request meets this standard. The nearest structure to the north is 300+feet away. The adjacent structure to the east is a church that is greater in scale and appearance than this residential facility. To the south is residential built as part of this development and in general 200-300+feet away from this facility. To the west is new 12-unit condominium housing to be constructed concurrent to the construction of this facility. (g) Be located on the lot with a greater setback or with landscape buffering to minimize the impact of the use on adjacent property. Explain how the request meets this standard. There is a required SO foot landscape buffer on the north and 20 foot landscape buffer to the east. The entire site is heavily landscaped with a continuous screen of trees-both decideous and evergreen. The existing treed fence line on Oakwood Road will remain for the current period until such time the City reconstructs the street. Street trees have already been in place for 2-3 years on Cedar Lane.
