LOCATION: Intersection of 157th Street West and Cobblestone Lake Parkway
PETITIONER: Tradition Development and Presbyterian Homes and Services
City Planner Tom Lovelace stated the applicant originally proposed a 175 -unit continuum of care
complex on 12.28 acres. The applicant has revised their plans and is now proposing a 193 -unit
building.
The site is located along the east side of Cobblestone Lake Parkway, south of Embry Path and north
of Elmhurst Lane. The site is currently made up of three outlots that have a variety of
Comprehensive Plan land use and zoning designations. The applicant is proposing to replat the
existing outlots into one (1) lot and one (1) outlot. The proposed lot will be the location of a
continuum of care facility and the outlot will be dedicated as public park. Approval of amendments
to the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, rezoning of the property and site plan
review/building permit authorization are other entitlements needed for this project.
The site plan identifies future expansion that will include an additional 64 independent living units
and an 80 -bed skilled nursing facility, which will need future City review and consideration.
The applicant is proposing to rezone Lot 1, Block 1, PRESBYTERIAN HOMES AT
COBBLESTONE LAKE to a subzone that would allow for the proposed continuum of care facility.
The applicant could rezone the lot to zone 6, which currently allows for a continuum of care
retirement community, subject to the following requirements:
1. If more than one structure is used for a continuum of care retirement community, all
structures shall be located on a single parcel or lot under single ownership;
2. No more than 15% of the total units provided shall be for assisted living;
3. No more than 15% of the total units provided shall be for comprehensive, intensive or full
care living; and
4. The density of the total units shall not exceed 32 units per acre.
The revised project will contain twice the percentage of assisted living units currently allowed by
the planned development ordinance. An amendment to the current planned development ordinance
requirements in zone 6 will be needed to bring the project into conformance.
John Mehrkens, Presbyterian Homes and Services, provided additional information.
Discussion followed.
