There are 311 structured parking spaces proposed plus 311 additional surface <br />parking spaces. Further, we propose to keep parking spaces for the Lord of Life Church (224 surface stalls). <br />This combination of parking allows for flexibility and manages demand for parking even at peak periods. <br />The proposed onsite parking of 622 stalls is greater than the required parking of 620 spaces required by the <br />Ramsey City Code Chapter 106, Section 460(B). Therefore, the parking proposed for the site in excess of <br />the City of Ramsey's parking guidelines. <br />units <br />Structuiiredl Spot <br />uidace Sp t5luuuuuvuuiTttail Splice <br />RequiredSpace <br />Total Residential Spaces 460 311 311 622 620 <br />Process <br />Presbyterian Homes & Services has engaged the community in the process holding community meetings <br />on September 28th and October 27th, 2022, and invited every resident within 1000 feet of the Lord of Life <br />campus via mail. That feedback informed the proposal with comments advocating for a (4) story front <br />building with a smaller footprint versus a (3) story building with a materially larger footprint. Further <br />community feedback guided incorporating fencing and screening on the west side of the site as well as <br />moving a proposed pickleball court public amenity away from the homes on the northwest side of the lot. <br />The community feedback stressed the importance of density transitioning spurring a concentration of <br />density on the south side of the site with lower density to the north and west. <br />Since the community meeting, Senior Housing Partners worked with City Staff to present the concept to in <br />a November 7, 2022 City Council Work Session. Then, the idea was presented by City Staff to the Plan <br />Commission on December 1", 2022. Subsequently, Presbyterian Homes & Services completed an <br />Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) process with the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board <br />(EQB) looking at over a dozen function areas including land use, water resources, wildlife, sensitive plant <br />communities, visual, air, greenhouse gas footprint, noise, and transportation items. The EAW was published <br />in the Minnesota EQB Monitor. The public had 30 days to comment. Then based on those comments, the <br />Environmental Assessment Worksheet found no need for a further Environmental Impact Statement (called <br />a negative declaration). This negative declaration was unanimously approved by the Ramsey City Council <br />on October 24, 2023. <br />11,2n u 0 0 <br />
