Title
Joint Work Session with Town Council and Planning Commission to Discuss Sunrise Assisted Living Mixed-Use Mac Rezoning Application
Body
Background
The subject site is approximately 0.7376 acres and is located at the intersection of Maple Avenue East and Center Street North. Two two-story office buildings, built in 1983, currently occupy the site. Associated surface parking is located in between the two buildings and in the rear of the buildings with an entrance solely from Center Street. Commercial properties (including office buildings, retail and restaurants) surround the site on all sides. The applicant proposes redeveloping the site under the Maple Avenue Commercial (MAC) zoning regulations.
The proposed redevelopment includes a four-story, 54 foot high, mixed-use building with 85 assisted living units and approximately 7,700 square feet of first floor commercial area. The applicant proposes one floor of underground parking and one floor of structured above-ground parking. Staff notes that the applicant is proposing a half-story space to include additional lobby and common spaces for the assisted living facility between the first story and second story of the building, beyond the four stories allowed per Code. The applicant is applying for a modification of requirement for the additional half-story. (The modification of requirement is to be considered by the Town Council after receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission. The Board of Architectural Review does not make a recommendation or approve modifications of requirements.) The applicant is also applying for a conditional use permit for assisted living. (The Planning Commission makes a recommendation on the application for a conditional use permit to the Board of Zoning Appeals.)
The proposed building height is 54 feet, with an 8 foot corner tower projection above the 54 feet (a maximum of 8.1 feet is allowed above the 54 feet for architectural features).
