Meeting Date: 04/26/2016 By: Tim Gladhill, Community Development Information Title: Consider Advisory Response to City of Anoka Regarding Site Plan Approval at 6058 Highway 10 NW for Relocation of Riverplace Counseling Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to consider an advisory response to the City of Anoka regarding the proposed relocation of Riverplace Counseling, a State licensed Residential Treatment Facility, to 6058 Highway 10 NW on the border with the City of Ramsey. The impetus behind sending an advisory response is a result of public comment from Ramsey residents, but also due to the fact the City of Ramsey is considering a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for sanitary sewer service to this location. With this in mind, Staff wants to ensure that this is an acceptable land use approval per Anoka Codes if the City of Ramsey is to enter into a legal contract. The City of Anoka has received a request for site plan approval from Riverplace Counseling. The site, 6058 Highway 10 NW, is currently owned by the City of Anoka. • The site is guided as High Density Residential in the Anoka Comprehensive Plan • The site is located in the Anoka R-6 Manufactured Home District • The site is located in the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) Overlay District Notification: The City of Ramsey attempted to notify all residential property owners along Rivlyn Avenue of a workshop held on April 21, 2016. Staff from the City of Anoka was present at this workshop to answer questions about the proposal. Observations/Alternatives: The proposed site plan would create five (5) residential buildings consisting of two (2) units each. This calculates to a total of ten (10) residential units. Each residential unit is proposed to have two (2) bedrooms. Each residential unit is planned to house four (4) occupants, which is two (2) per bedroom. This calculates to a total of forty (40) occupants. There is also the potential for future expansion for two (2) more buildings, for a total of fifty-six (56) inpatient residents. Additionally, Riverplace Counseling provides outpatient services in a proposed community building. Anoka Staff has indicated that this community building has the capacity to serve up to sixty (60) outpatient guests (daytime only, no overnight stay). The proposed relocation would consolidate several of Riverplace Counseling's current buildings on Ferry Street (US 169). Details on this request are included in the attached Staff Report from the City of Anoka. Staff has kept this summary brief, deferring to the full Anoka Report, to avoid conflicting language. The proposed use does require a Zoning Amendment to Anoka's Official Zoning Map, as the proposed use is not currently a permitted use under that Zoning District. The request includes a Zoning Amendment to Planned Unit
