Location: 615-635 Prairie Center Dr. Request for:
• Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 19.75 acres
• Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 19.75 acres
• Zoning District Review on 19.75 acres and Zoning District Change from C-Com

The applicant is proposing to redevelop the 19.75 acres of property at the northwest corner of
Flying Cloud Drive and Prairie Center Drive. The existing use of the property includes the Castle
Ridge Care Center which includes 82 care center units, Broadmoor Apartments which includes 240 units for general occupancy, and vacant property. The Broadmoor Apartments include and include studio, 1 BR and 2 BR units. The property is very near to commercial uses and park and
open space. The site received City approvals for a master planned redevelopment project in 2008,
however, that project was not constructed except for the CVS store located at 8251 Columbine
Drive.
With this application, the property owners are requesting approval of an updated master plan.
With this review process, Presbyterian Homes is coordinating with 2 development partners for the
proposed outlot areas. Due to these partnerships, the outlots are not on the same timeline for
construction as the Presbyterian Homes site. Therefore, the applicant requests full approvals for the Presbyterian Homes portion of the site (Lot 1) and PUD concept review of Outlots A and B.
Final development plans for the outlots would be reviewed through a separate process closer to the
ANNOTATED AGENDA April 22, 2019
Page 2
time of anticipated construction. As part of the PUD concept review for the outlots, the potential
developers are seeking feedback from the Commission on the proposed concept plans.
Presbyterian Homes is proposing the construction of a senior housing facility. The 5 story
building includes underground parking and 274 units of senior housing units providing a range of
care including independent living, assisted living, memory care and care center units. The
density calculated for this lot only is 40 units per acre.
Timberland (Outlot A) is proposing approximately 250 units of multi-family housing. These
housing units are proposed to be general occupancy rental units (not age restricted). The concept
plan includes two buildings with a connected common space. The north building is proposed at 7
stories and the south building is proposed at 5 stories. This element of the project also proposes
use of underground parking totaling approximately 275 parking stalls and surface parking of 53 stalls. Unit types range from studio units, 1 BR, 1 BR +Den, 2 BR, 2 BR+, and 2 BR+ Den. The
density calculated for this lot only is approximately 51 units per acre based on this concept plan.
The residential density for the overall residential project area when including both the Timberland
and Presbyterian Homes sites is approximately 44.8 units per acre. Oppidan (Outlot B) is proposing retail/commercial development at the corner of Flying Cloud
Drive and Prairie Center Drive. The concept plan for this portion of the project includes a hotel
with approximately 110 rooms and 20,000 square feet of retail space. This area of the project
includes surface parking only.

John Harriss, Principal of Harriss & Associates, presented the application. He thanked
City staff for its work with him. He had worked on this building being renovated back as
a young architect in 1989. He stated there were limitations on this project due to the site
being hilly and bisected by a wetland. In addition to the improvements, he sought a new
architectural expression as the present buildings were quite conservative: two-story brick exteriors that followed the original master plan but needed updating.
Harriss displayed a PowerPoint showing the location of the cafeteria and classroom
addition. He added the overall 57 acres was contained in the packet but was not a part of
this PowerPoint. The site was bisected by a roadway and parking area, and made up of three similar-shaped, two-story walk-out buildings. The cafeteria and classrooms
comprised this project. An enlargement of the area showed the difficulty of having
internal roads on this hilly site, requiring a “spine” at the perimeter. Harriss stated the
addition would be 5,700 square feet and would renovate the kitchen and dining area.
Deliveries would come into a new driveway slightly shifted from its current site. A trash and delivery room would be constructed to provide interior spaces for those services. An
entry to the south would be constructed for after school pickup. The building’s second
floor renovation continued the corridor into a new biology classroom and lab and a
physics classroom and lab, and a small office. The enlarged first floor plan showed the
entrance and trash area and renovated dining area. The second floor physics and biology classrooms would have labs as well with emergency equipment.
There would be a new and renovated dining area with salad stations, beverage stations, et
cetera. The fenestration on the first floor would be virtually all glass with punched
openings. There would be doors added to existing opening for future outdoor dining. Harriss displayed the south and west elevations which showed the current classroom
windows as well as the future windows for the renovation. The canopy would be
removed and a corrugated look added in a more modern style. There would be white
doors and windows to tie the renovation together with the existing building along with a
six foot cantilever. Harriss explained the blue opaque panels were actually glass in an effort to bring as much light into the building as possible. He detailed the materials and
materials percentages. He showed the stairs, emergency exits, and doors on the west
elevation.
DeSanctis asked if the exterior lighting would impact the surrounding residential area on Beach Road. Harriss replied it would not; no pole lighting would be added. DeSanctis
asked if there was an opportunity for rain water capture or recycling. Harriss replied he
had not pursued that as the entire site has an irrigation system, but it might be possible to
capture rainwater in a cistern which could be connected to the irrigation system, and this
would depend upon the owner. Iyer asked if there was a storm water drainage pond planned. Harriss replied he did get approval from the Watershed District to switch from a
large infiltration basin to replace the existing one, which was expensive, to a phased
project which would push changes to the existing basin out to the future when the
residence hall would be renovated. Iyer asked for and received confirmation the existing
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 8, 2019
Page 3
infiltration system could handle the current volume of water. The current transformer would be replaced and relocated to the north.
Farr asked if the “modern design” noted in the Master Plan could be expected in future
renovations on the site and if so, to what extent. Harriss replied this design would be
extended to the future renovation of the performing arts center and gymnasium, a service area which would receive a more robust athletics component, and to connect two brick
buildings with modern materials in a more creative way. Some of this had already been
done on site with renovated bands, sun shades, and a corrugated look. Farr asked how the
existing parking would change. Harriss stated the parking could handle 1,000 students,
whereas the school had 400 attendees at present. However, there was another area that could offer an additional 80 spaces if need be.
Klima gave the staff report. The applicant was seeking an amendment to an existing PUD
and an amendment to the site plan for the classroom and cafeteria addition. One PUD
waiver was being request for the west façade. Staff recommended approval of that waiver subject to conditions and approval of the plan as proposed. Some landscaping would be
added to the project, but no trees would be removed.
Mette asked the difference between a PUD Concept Review versus a PUD District
Review and why both were needed. Klima replied City code stated a PUD should not be approved unless it complied with a PUD Concept Review. Both can be reviewed
simultaneously and it does not be an “extra step.”
Villarreal asked Klima to address the materials against the zoning ordinance. Klima
replied City code did require 75 percent of Class One materials per façade, and not by the overall calculation of the building, and this was a recent change driven by new design
standards, thus the waiver. It was triggered on the west façade because that did not have
an existing building to draw upon. Farr challenged this interpretation which measured
only the west facade, as the building was serpentine. Klima replied staff strove to relay
the same message to all property owners and an equitable interpretation took into consideration the particular circumstances of the project.
MOTION: Iyer moved, seconded by Kirk to close the public hearing. MOTION
CARRIED 8-0.
Mette urged the applicant to consider tailoring the materials intended for the trash room
to allow a power wash and ventilation to prevent odors, and to consider using a dark
stained concrete to avoid discoloration from rolling garbage cans back and forth. Kirk
expressed approval of having “borderline” or “questionable” issues such as Farr’s
concerns regarding the materials percentages come before the commission, which showed Eden Prairie’s high standards in construction. Villarreal stated his initial
inclination was this discussion of materials was not required by the commission, but it
prevented “gray area” questions not automatically being granted without a waiver, even
though the applicant for this project might not be required to go through the waiver
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 8, 2019
Page 4
process. Klima replied the waiver request was not the only issue prompting this commission review. The addition was 5,700 square feet in size, which did not allow for a
streamlined review process and which automatically triggered a PUD review. DeSanctis
thanked the applicant for considering lighting impacts on circadian rhythms. Farr thanked
the applicant for maintaining architect continuity throughout the life of this building.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Farr to recommend approval of the planned unit
concept review on approximately 55 acres, planned unit development district review with
waivers on approximately 55 acres, and site plan review on approximately 55 acres
based on the staff report dated April 4, 2019 and plans stamp-dated March 22, 2019. MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

BACKGROUND
The applicant is proposing to redevelop the 19.75 acres of property at the northwest corner of Flying
Cloud Drive and Prairie Center Drive. The existing use of the property includes the Castle Ridge
Care Center which includes 82 care center units, Broadmoor Apartments which includes 240 units
for general occupancy, and vacant property. The Broadmoor Apartments include and include studio,
1 BR and 2 BR units. The property is very near to commercial uses and park and open space.
2008 APPROVED PLAN
The site received City approvals for a master planned redevelopment project in 2008 that included
senior housing, all age housing and commercial uses. The master plan included vertically integrated
commercial uses on the ground floor with residential uses above on the eastern portion of the site.
The 2008 plan included 372 units of senior housing, 332 units of all-age housing, and 36,000 square
feet of commercial retail. The overall master plan was not constructed. Due to a variety of factors,
the only portion of the project that was constructed is the CVS store located at 8251 Columbine
Road.
CURRENT PROPOSAL With this application, the property owners are requesting approval of an updated master plan. With
this review process, Presbyterian Homes is coordinating with 2 development partners for the
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment
April 18, 2019 Page 2

proposed outlot areas. Due to these partnerships, the outlots are not on the same timeline for
construction as the Presbyterian Homes site. Therefore, the applicant requests full approvals for the
Presbyterian Homes portion of the site (Lot 1) and PUD concept review of Outlots A and B. Final
development plans for the outlots would be reviewed through a separate process closer to the time of
anticipated construction. As part of the PUD concept review for the outlots, the potential developers
are seeking feedback from the Commission on the proposed concept plans. Later in this memo, staff
provides a review of the proposed concept developments and staff recommendations.
OVERALL PROJECT AREA
Although the project includes three developers and three different product types, the applicants are
partnering to design a master project that contains cohesive development components. With the
current review process, only the Presbyterian Homes component of the project is seeking full
approvals. The multi-family and commercial elements are seeking PUD Concept Review only at this
time and would come forward with requests for approval of final development proposals at a future
date. Following is a description of each component:
• Presbyterian Homes is proposing the construction of a senior housing facility. The 5 story
building includes underground parking and 274 units of senior housing units providing a
range of care including independent living, assisted living, memory care and care center
units. The density calculated for this lot only is 40 units per acre.
• Timberland is proposing approximately 250 units of multi-family housing. These housing
units are proposed to be general occupancy rental units (not age restricted). The concept plan
includes two buildings with a connected common space. The north building is proposed at 7
stories and the south building is proposed at 5 stories. This element of the project also
proposes use of underground parking totaling approximately 275 parking stalls and surface
parking of 53 stalls. Unit types range from studio units, 1 BR, 1 BR +Den, 2 BR, 2 BR+, and
2 BR+ Den. The density calculated for this lot only is approximately 51 units per acre based
on this concept plan. The residential density for the overall residential project area when
including both the Timberland and Presbyterian Homes sites is approximately 44.8 units per
acre.
• Oppidan is proposing retail/commercial development at the corner of Flying Cloud Drive and
Prairie Center Drive. The concept plan for this portion of the project includes a hotel with
approximately 110 rooms and 20,000 square feet of retail space. This area of the project
includes surface parking only.
ZONING
The property is bordered by commercial development to the north and south; Columbine Road to the
west and Prairie Center Drive to the east. Beyond Columbine Road is the Purgatory Creek Park area
and properties east of Prairie Center Drive are developed as commercial properties.
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment
April 18, 2019 Page 3

The site is currently zoned a combination of RM-2.5 and Community Commercial consistent with
the approved 2008 development plan. As a result of the current development plan, the applicant is
requesting a slight modification (1.4 acres) in the zoning boundaries on site to align the zoning
districts to the 2019 master plan. Page 17 of the PUD and Site Plan Review identifies the areas
proposed for rezoning to align with the current proposal.
PRESBYTERIAN HOMES SITE
The existing condition of the site provides for 322 units over the total 19 acre site, providing a
density of 16.5 units per acre. The Broadmoor property currently includes 240 units consisting of
studios; 1-bedrooms; and 2-bedroom units. The Broadmoor Apartments are not specifically limited
to senior residents. Castle Ridge Care Center provides 82 units. Also, the current site includes
detached garages and surface parking stalls for the residents.
With the redevelopment proposal, the applicant is requesting PUD approval for the entire site and
site plan approval for the construction of a 5-story building for senior housing on proposed Lot 1.
The proposed density for the Presbyterian Homes site is 40 units per acre. The total unit count
proposed is 274. The proposed building includes 148 independent living units; 40 assisted living
units; 18 memory care units; and 68 care center units (4 of these units are double occupancy for a
total of 72 care center beds). The redevelopment proposal intensifies the senior housing component
of the project onto a smaller area leaving the two outlot areas for further redevelopment that will be
discussed later in this memo.
Proposed Unit Type Proposed Unit Count
Independent Living 148
Assisted Living 40
Memory Care 18
Care Center 68
Total 274
SITE PLAN AND PRELIMINARY PLAT The redeveloped Presbyterian Homes senior housing facility is proposed to be located along
Columbine Road and Castlemoor Drive. The site layout would provide multiple access points from
the public streets and an interior private drive serving the overall project area. Parking, landscaped
areas, and recreational areas are proposed adjacent to the building. The site is proposed to have
sidewalks and walking paths with a connection to the public trail that connects to Purgatory Creek
Park. The site plan proposes pedestrian connections that would link this portion of the project area
to the commercial and multi-family outlots creating opportunity for through pedestrian movements
from the trails along Flying Cloud Drive and Prairie Center Drive to and through the overall site and
the individual site areas.
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment
April 18, 2019 Page 4

Proposed site amenities include enhanced materials for pedestrian connections throughout the total
PUD project area. These pedestrian connections shall provide an alternative material, color and
pattern in order to differentiate these areas as pedestrian connections and create an inviting
environment promoting pedestrian circulation. The development will also provide consistent use of
other site amenities such as street lighting fixtures, bollard lighting at the pedestrian level, street
furniture including but not limited to, benches, bike racks, and trash receptacles. The Development
Agreement for the PUD and approvals for the Presbyterian Homes site would include language
requiring that consistency in such site amenities be provided in all phases of the project. The
applicant shall provide examples of the proposed materials, colors, and styles of the amenities prior
to 1st reading by the City Council.
The Presbyterian Homes site includes internal pedestrian connections adjacent to the senior housing
facility; to Columbine Road; Castlemoor Drive and to the proposed outlots. The development plans
for the outlots should build upon these pedestrian connections to provide pedestrian circulation
opportunities throughout the overall PUD and to the pedestrian areas on the perimeter of the overall
PUD.
City staff has discussed with the applicant the future of Castlemoor Drive as it relates to this project
on several occasions. The most recent revised plans do not address the termination of Castlemoor
Drive. The City has provided multiple options to the Developer to resolve this issue, including
recommendations in Development Review Committee (DRC) memo’s dated 10/22/2018, 2/6/2019
and 3/5/2019. These recommendations have included the following options: vacating all of the
Castlemoor Drive right of way with the developer taking on the maintenance responsibilities of
Castlemoor Drive; vacating the eastern portion of Castlemoor Drive as shown on the plans and
adding a roundabout; and leaving the public right of way and Castlemoor Drive as is and revise the
site plan accordingly. The city’s preference is for the developer to request a complete vacation of the
public right-of-way for Castlemoor Drive and provide cross access to the properties south of
Castlemoor Drive. The vacated right-of-way can be platted as an outlot owned and maintained by
the developer. If the right-of-way vacation does not occur, the plan must be revised to include a
roundabout at the easterly end of the public right of way as currently shown on the plan. The site
plan and all associated plan sheets including the preliminary plat must be revised accordingly and
submitted to the Engineering Division prior to being considered for action by the Planning
Commission. Accommodations for access between the existing Fountain Place retail area and
Prairie Center Drive must be maintained (either by using the existing Castlemoor Drive or an
approved alternative corridor) at all times.
The applicant is proposing to install a sidewalk along the north side of Castlemoor Drive. Two
alternatives regarding the proposed sidewalk located on the north side of Castlemoor Drive are
available - a sidewalk easement will be required to cover the sidewalk located within the private
property or additional right of way dedicated with the plat. The proposed sidewalk located on the
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment
April 18, 2019 Page 5
5
north side and the existing sidewalk on the south side of Castlemoor Drive will be privately owned
and maintained if the right-of-way is vacated. A sidewalk should be extended on the east/west access
drive from Columbine Road to the north/south access. The sidewalk on the north side of Castlemoor
Drive as shown weaves in and out of the public right of way. The plat should be revised such that
the sidewalk is completely within public right of way or a sidewalk easement must be provided over
the portions of sidewalk that are located within private property.
There is an existing wetland on the property north and west of the Broadmoor Apartments. In 2018, a
new wetland delineation was performed, which resulted in new wetland and wetland buffer
boundaries. The location of the conservation easements over the wetland and wetland buffers must
be coordinated with the watershed district requirements for conservation easements. This will
require revision of the current conservation easement to match the new requirements. Information
on the wetland buffer requirements due to the MnRAM analysis must be provided for review.
Drainage and utility easements and conservation easements to cover the wetland and buffer
boundaries that were revised due to the wetland delineation conducted in 2018 must be included on
the preliminary plat.
A preliminary cost estimate was provided to the City by the consulting engineer for the future ¾
access at Prairie Center Drive. Review of the estimate is ongoing. The Developer shall be
responsible for all costs associated with these improvements. The development agreement will
include the requirement to provide security to cover the future costs. The City Engineer reserves the
right to require a conversion to a ¾ access consistent with recommendations in the traffic studies as
initially identified in the 2007 Traffic Study and again noted in the 2018 study. The requirement for
the construction of these improvements will be triggered based on monitoring of traffic
complaints/accidents at the Prairie Center Drive/Commonwealth Drive intersection.
DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION PHASING
The Presbyterian Homes portion of the project is proposed to be constructed as Phase I of the overall
project. The initial demolition will include the removal of the Broadmoor Apartments. At that same
time, the outlot proposed for multi-family development would be graded and prepped for
construction. The removal of Broadmoor Apartments would allow for the construction of the new
senior facility. Once the senior facility is constructed, residents will be relocated from the existing
care center into the newly constructed care center units. Following the relocation of the care center
residents, the existing Castle Ridge Care Center would be demolished and the outlot proposed for
commercial development would be graded and prepped for construction.
PARKING
The proposed site plan for Lot includes a total of 320 parking stalls. Of these, 146 are enclosed, 150
are surface parking and 23 are proof-of- parking. Based on the number of units provided, the parking
requirement by City Code is 548 parking stalls (274 units *2 stalls/unit). City Code does allow for
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment
April 18, 2019 Page 6
6
the use of proof-of-parking stalls, but the areas where proof-of-parking stalls are provided on the site
plan shall not include landscaping required to meet City Code. These areas shall only provide
landscaping that exceeds City Code requirements in order to maintain the appropriate landscaping
requirements upon construction of the proof of parking areas. Since this plan falls short of meeting
the landscaping requirements, and the proof of parking areas include proposed landscaping, staff
recommends that the plans be revised to remove the proof of parking. After this revision, the plan
provides 296 of the required 548 stalls, or 1.08 parking stalls/unit rather than the 2 stalls/unit
required by City Code. Presbyterian Homes states in the narrative that this parking is sufficient
based on the expected resident and employee needs. Presbyterian Homes expects to have
approximately 60 employees on the peak shift. Of the 274 residential units provided, 148 of those
units are independent living units. The remaining units will are expected to be utilized by residents
that have minimal access to vehicles.
The plans shall be revised to confirm that the City Code requirement that 5% of the parking area be
provided as parking islands. The plans shall also be revised to confirm that all minimum dimensions
of the parking islands are 5 feet and islands are a minimum of 160 square feet in size.
While parking requirements and needs will be analyzed individually for the 3 components of the
overall PUD, the PUD for the overall site shall include cross access and shared parking requirements
for all 3 phases.
TREE REPLACEMENT
Tree replacement will be calculated individually for the proposed Lot 1 and the outlot areas at the
time of full site plan review. The proposed redevelopment of the Presbyterian Homes site plans
for nearly 100% tree removal of the existing significant and heritage trees on the site. Based on
the City Code requirements for tree replacement, this removal would require the replacement of
956 caliper inches on site. City Code allows for tree replacement requirements to be met either
through the replacement of trees on site or by a payment in-lieu option. The applicant is
proposing to pay $125,000 payment in-lieu which exceeds the tree replacement requirement. If
the applicant proposes to meet tree replacement through payment in-lieu, the total payment
would be $119,500 (956*$125/caliper inch).
Parks and Natural Resources staff has reviewed the proposed tree removal plan and has some
recommendations that would allow for the preservation of some existing significant and/or
heritage trees. Specifically, the grading plan should be reviewed to determine if the following
trees can be saved through adjustments or the addition of small retaining walls: Tree # 5074,
5075, 5076, 5081, 5083, and 5085. Staff recommends the plan be revised to include the
preservation of trees as recommended by Parks and Natural Resources staff. Once made, these
revisions will impact the total amount of payment in-lieu that would be payable in order to meet
the tree replacement requirement. The total payment can be updated based on the revised tree

removal/replacement plan.
LANDSCAPE PLAN
Landscaping requirements are a distinct requirement from tree replacement. While tree
replacement addresses the amount of trees required to be replaced due to removal of existing
trees, the landscaping requirements address the landscaping required to balance the size, scale,
and massing of proposed building(s). Based on the total floor area proposed for the senior
housing facility, the landscaping requirement for Lot 1 is 1,388 caliper inches. The proposed
landscaping plan provides for 691.76 caliper inches. The applicant is requesting that the
difference of 696.24 caliper inches be approved through a waiver. Of the approximate 692
caliper inches being proposed, 156.5 of those caliper inches are provided as overstory trees;
153.26 caliper inches as coniferous trees; 102 caliper inches as ornamental trees; and 280 caliper
inches as shrubs.
The landscaping plan dated 3/22/19 indicates a total of 684.5 caliper inches is being provided.
Upon staff review and calculation of the proposed landscaping plan, the plan actually provides
for 691.76 caliper inches. The plan should be revised to reflect these quantities.
City Code allows up to 25% of the landscaping requirement to be met through shrubs, perennials,
grasses and planting areas. In this case, 25% of the requirement equals 347 caliper inches. The
applicant is proposing to only utilize the shrubs on site toward that 25%. Shrubs provide for 280
caliper inches in this plan. Therefore, an additional 94 caliper inches could be met through
planting areas that include perennials, grasses or planting containers. The plan includes
landscaped areas that provide for perennials and grasses. The applicant should provide
additional information regarding the total square footage of landscaped areas (minus the areas
where shrubs are provided) in order to determine an accurate accounting of the actual
landscaping being provided on site and the associated requested waiver amount.
LIGHTING
The proposed site lighting plan complies with City requirements of 0.5 footcandle at the property
line. Lighting will be further confirmed at the time of building permit issuance.
SIGNS
All sign permits will require review and approval through a separate sign permit process. All signs
shall comply with City Code requirements.
AFFORDABILITY
The City has been working with developers to provide inclusionary housing in recent development
projects. As the City continues to review development proposals and integrate affordable housing
opportunities into those projects, staff has worked with Presbyterian Homes to provide for affordable

units within the senior housing facility. The applicant proposes to provide 5% of the units (14 units)
at 30% AMI in perpetuity without City subsidy. The applicant has proposed the provision of 19
additional affordable units (for a total of 33 units) at or below 30% AMI if the City waives park
dedication fees for the senior housing facility. Park dedication fees were not paid at the initial
development of Broadmoor Apartments and Castle Ridge Care Center. With redevelopment of the
properties, park dedication would be payable for each of the components of the overall project. Staff
does not recommend waiving of park dedication fees, with the exception of the 14 units that would
be designated as affordable at or below 30% AMI.
ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
The applicant provided building elevations for the Presbyterian Homes Senior Housing facility. The
specific building plans for the multi-family and commercial portions of the development will be
reviewed at the time that final development plans are submitted and reviewed through the public
hearing process. It is expected that the buildings in future phases will include architecture and/or
building materials that will complement and coordinate with the Presbyterian Homes building in
order to provide for a unified and interconnected overall project area. The Presbyterian Homes
project includes a number of recesses and projections, color variations, roofline variations and
material changes. All of these additional architectural details add to the character, quality and appeal
of the building while meeting and exceeding the architectural requirements of City Code.
City Code requires that each building façade include a minimum of 75% of the areas of Class I
materials as defined in City Code. The building materials exceed this requirement by providing
100% Class I materials.
SUSTAINABLE FEATURES
The applicant has provided an extensive list of sustainability features that will be included within the
development. These features include energy modeling, recycling of demolition materials, 8 EV
charging stations for vehicles, bike racks, drought tolerant and pollinator landscaping materials, low
flow plumbing fixtures, LED lighting, Energy Star appliances and other items as listed in the project
narrative. The developer has indicted that a final determination of whether to pursue any green
certifications has not yet been made due to the costs associated with applying for the types of
certification(s).
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS
The purpose of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as stated in the City Code is to provide for a
more creative and efficient approach to the use of land within the City; to allow variety in the
types of environment available to people and distribution of overall density of population and
intensity of land use where desirable and feasible; and provide for greater creativity and
flexibility in environmental design.
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment

As a part of the PUD process, the applicant is seeking waivers to City Code requirements for
proposed Lot 1 as outlined below.
1. Density from 17.4 units per acre to 40 units per acre The RM2.5 zoning district allows 17.4 dwelling units per acre. This project proposes a total
of 274 units on 6.84 acres for a total of 40 units per acre.
2. Gross Site Area from 2,500 square feet per unit to 1087 square feet per unit City Code requires the total area of proposed Lot 1 to be 2,500 square feet per unit or
685,000 square feet. The site is 6.84 acres or 297,950 square feet.
3. Building height from 45 feet to 68 feet at its highest point. The Presbyterian Homes building is 5 stories. The building has rooflines ranging from
approximately 57 feet to 68 feet. This variety in rooflines meets City Code requirements for
building architecture and creates additional interest and structural character.
4. Parking Setback along Castlemoor Drive from 35 feet to 15.4 feet.
Castlemoor Drive is a public street therefore parking must comply with the front yard
setback of 35 feet. The plan as proposed does not comply with the setback unless Castlemoor Drive is vacated, as recommended. In that case, this will become a side yard
which requires a parking setback of 10 feet. The proposed setback of 15.4 feet would then
comply with the requirement.
5. Building Setback along Castlemoor Drive from 35 feet to 29.8 feet.
As a public right-of-way, Castlemoor Drive is a front yard requiring a setback of 35 feet. The plan as proposed does not comply with the setback unless Castlemoor is vacated as
recommended. In that case, this would become a side lot line requiring a 25 foot setback.
The proposed setback of 29.8 feet would comply with this requirement.
6. Group Usable Open Space from 600 square feet per unit to 172.7 square feet per unit
The proposed project includes indoor and outdoor spaces suitable for people to recreate and
socialize. The indoor spaces include areas such as community rooms, a fitness center, a
library, a sitting room, a sunroom, and craft rooms. The outdoor spaces include terraces
(including rooftop terraces) that include amenities as noted in the narrative. The project
provides a variety of opportunities for residents of varying abilities and mobility levels to
recreate and socialize.
7. Parking from 548 parking stalls 296 parking stalls There are 146 underground parking spaces and 150 surface parking spaces proposed on
the site plan. City Code requires 2 parking spaces per unit. The proposal provides for
1.08 parking stalls per unit. If the care center and memory care units are deducted from
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment
April 18, 2019 Page 10
10
that calculation since those residents are not driving, the parking ratio is then 1.57 stalls
per unit. Other senior facilities with similar services have received waivers to the
parking requirements due to the unique nature of these facilities and impact on residents
vehicular needs. This waiver does not include the proof-of-parking stalls shown on the
plans, as staff is recommending removal of the proof-of-parking since the locations and
installation of landscaping in these areas is not consistent with City Code requirements.
8. Covered Parking from 274 parking stalls to 146 parking stalls.
City Code requires 2 parking stalls per unit with at least one of the stalls (50% of the
stalls) being covered. The proposed underground parking garage includes 146 parking
stalls. Of the 296 parking stalls provided, 146 are proposed to be covered which equates
to 49.3% of the provided stalls.
9. Landscaping from 1388 caliper inches to 691.76 caliper inches The plan currently provides for 691.76 caliper inches. However, there are additional areas, such as landscape beds and planting containers that have not been included in the overall
calculation. The landscaping plan provides a robust variety of plant materials that provide color and interest. The amount of landscaping provided on site is appropriate and sustainable
over the long term. The additional information as requested in this memo shall be provided
in order to accurately calculate the requested waiver.
10. Off-site parking The plan proposes parking along the east side of the center drive that connects Prairie
Center Drive to Castlemoor Drive. These parking stalls are located on proposed Outlot B
and are not counted in the 150 parking stalls being provided toward the Lot 1 parking.
These stalls are proposed to be constructed as a part of Phase I construction but will
ultimately serve the development that will be constructed on Outlot B. The shared access
agreement for the PUD will address this parking.
11. Park Dedication Payment
The developer has requested that park dedication fees be waived for the Presbyterian Homes
units. Staff does not support this waiver request with the exception of the 14 units to be
provided at or below 30% AMI.
PUD CONCEPT REVIEW – MULTIFAMILY AREA (OUTLOT A) The proposed concept plan include approximately 250 dwelling units for a density of approximately
51 units per acre. These housing units are proposed to be general occupancy rental units (not age
restricted). The concept plan includes two building of multi-family units with a connected common
space. The north building is proposed at 7 stories and the south building is proposed at 5 stories.
This element of the project also proposes use of underground parking totaling approximately 275
parking stalls and surface parking of 53 stalls. Unit types range from studio units, 1 BR, 1 BR +Den,
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment
April 18, 2019 Page 11
11
2 BR, 2 BR+, and 2 BR+ Den.
The proposed plan provides for structured parking under the building and some surface parking
stalls. The plan currently provides 329 parking stalls. City Code requires 2 parking stalls per unit.
Based on the concept plan unit count, this would require 500 parking stalls. With the 329 stalls
proposed, the project would provide 1.3 stalls per unit. The City has approved parking waivers for
multi-family senior housing projects based on the unique needs of the senior demographic.
However, this site is proposed for general occupancy and is not immediately adjacent to transit
opportunities. Staff has concerns about whether or not the proposed parking would be sufficient to
meet the needs of future tenants. Staff recommends that the developer continue to explore parking
options for this site to address the parking needs and City requirements. At the time of formal
application, the developer should provide additional details regarding access to parking by residents
and visitors.
The development proposes on site amenities including the activity deck shown on the plans. These
amenities are primarily located adjacent to the north building, however, would be shared by tenants
of both the north and south buildings. City Code requires group usable open space to be provided in
multi-family projects to provide recreational opportunities on-site. These spaces can include indoor
and outdoor spaces and passive and active recreational areas. At the time of formal application, the
developer should provide a listing and graphical representation of all areas proposed to meet this
requirement.
The concept plan includes pedestrian connections around the majority of the perimeter of the
building. Pedestrian connections should be provided out to Columbine Road and along the southwest
corner of the site.
The two multi-family buildings are connected by a 2-story common area. The angled parking along
the primary access point to Prairie Center Drive should be eliminated as it would cause traffic
conflicts. This area also appears to be proposed as a drop off area. Additional information would be
needed to evaluate the functionality of this feature. A small turn-around area located at the end of
the parking lot for the apartment building does not appear to be functional. However, no dimensions
are provided.
Through the formal review process, the developer will be required to provide specific site details
including building materials, architecture, landscaping, lighting, and site amenities to review for
compliance with City Code requirements and Design Guidelines. As discussed in other portions of
this memo, site amenities should be coordinated throughout the overall PUD project areas to create a
connected and cohesive development.

PUD CONCEPT REVIEW – COMMERCIAL AREA (OUTLOT B)
The proposed concept plan includes approximately 20,000 square feet of single level retail space and
a 110-room hotel. The 2008 approved plan did include commercial development (restaurant and
retail uses) as a ground level use with residential units above. The 2008 plan also included plaza
type areas to provide gathering spaces for residents while creating sense of place within the project
area.
Oppidan has provided a narrative overview of the proposed concept plan that is included with the
Commission’s agenda materials. This narrative provides information on the 2019 proposed concept
plan, as well as, a comparison to the 2008 approved plan.
The commercial portion of the overall project area is situated at a major intersection that serves as a
gateway into the Major Center Area. As this property is redeveloped, care and consideration should
be given to site design into order to promote and provide for a sense of place for residents and
consumers, strong visual corridors and pedestrian connections (to and within the site). With
proximity to trail access to the Purgatory Creek Park area, site design should capitalize on the natural
features and amenities that are a part of the park area. The overall design should be coordinated and
collaborative to the overall PUD project area.
The concept plan that is proposed is a fairly typical suburban style development. As a part of the
PUD process, the City strives to provide for development that includes a vibrant mix of uses
supported by a site design that promotes sense of place at the human scale including pedestrian
connections, architecture, landscaping and site amenities that are consistent with the City’s vision
and Design Guidelines. At the time of formal application, the plan should be revised to include
these principles including providing more direct and inviting pedestrian connections from the
perimeter of the site and through the overall site connecting to common and/or open spaces and the
senior and multi-family portions of the PUD.
The uses that are proposed within the project all provide for an immediate drive-through or an option
for a future drive-through use, with those drive-throughs fronting on the public right of way. Staff
has concerns about the overall impacts of the number and design of the drive-through uses. The
drive-throughs as shown create potential traffic and pedestrian conflicts as many of the pedestrian
connections cross the drive-through lanes. The plan should be revised to reduce and/or eliminate
drive-through uses in order to front the buildings to the street providing for a dynamic human scale
within the project area.
The traffic circulation should be designed in such a way that provides for direct and intuitive routes
to facilitate movement and safety. The plan should be revised to reduce pedestrian/vehicle conflicts
and the drive-through that is currently shown as exiting to the main driveway exit adjacent to Prairie
Center Drive must be removed.
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment
April 18, 2019 Page 13

The proposed plan currently provides for a significant feature at the corner of Prairie Center Drive
and Flying Cloud Drive. Staff does not anticipate that this area would be heavily activated and/or
desirable gathering space given the proximity to the adjacent roadways. The plan should be
redesigned to create gathering spaces in locations that will draw residents and consumers to take
advantage of the site design/amenities and views. An example of this would include primary
entrances and any outdoor dining areas capitalizing on public spaces and/or amenities.
The proposed uses include single level retail users with drive-throughs and a hotel. The developer
has indicated that they are exploring alternative anchors/users within the site beyond what is
proposed in the concept plan. Staff encourages the integration of a variety of users that would create
additional interest on the site. This variety could provide for architectural interest (varying building
heights), meet the needs of adjacent residential uses, and provide complementary peak time uses that
would allow for the flexibility of shared parking. Other uses could include medical office buildings,
restaurants without drive through service, grocery, etc.
Through the formal review process, the developer will be required to provide specific site details
including building materials, architecture, landscaping, lighting, and site amenities to review for
compliance with City Code requirements and Design Guidelines. As discussed in other portions of
this memo, site amenities should be coordinated throughout the overall PUD project areas to create a
connected and cohesive development.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the public hearing be continued to May 13, 2019 to allow the applicant to
address the following items. In order to provide adequate opportunity for staff to review revised
plans and provide a staff recommendation prior to the distribution of the May 13 Planning
Commission materials, revised materials should be provided to staff for review 2 weeks prior to the
distribution of Planning Commission agenda materials.
The Planning Commission should also provide feedback to staff and the applicant/proposed
developers on the concept plans proposed for Outlots A and B.
Prior to action by the Planning Commission, the following items shall be addressed:
1. The most recent revised plans do not address the termination of Castlemoor Drive. The
City has provided multiple options to the Developer to resolve this issue, including
recommendations in DRC memo’s dated 10/22/2018, 2/6/2019 and 3/5/2019. These
recommendations have included options including vacating all of the Castlemoor Drive
right of way with the developer taking on the maintenance responsibilities of Castlemoor
Drive, vacating the eastern portion of Castlemoor Drive as shown on the plans and
adding a roundabout and leaving the public right of way and Castlemoor Drive as is and
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment
April 18, 2019 Page 14
14
revise the site plan accordingly. The city’s preference is for the developer to request a
complete vacation of the public right-of-way for Castlemoor Drive and provide cross
access to the properties south of Castlemoor Drive. The vacated right-of-way can be
platted as an outlot owned and maintained by the developer. If the right-of-way vacation
does not occur, the plan must be revised to include a roundabout at the easterly end of the
public right of way as currently shown on the plan. The site plan and all associated plan
sheets including the preliminary plat must be revised accordingly and submitted to the
City.
2. Accomodations for access between the existing Fountain Place retail area and Prairie
Center Drive must be maintained (either by using the existing Castlemoor Drive or an
approved alternative corridor) at all times.
3. The sidewalk on the north side of Castlemoor Drive as shown weaves in and out of the
public right of way. The plat should be revised such that the sidewalk is completely
within public right of way or a sidewalk easement must be provided over the portion of
sidewalk that are located within private property.
4. Drainage and utility easements and conservation easements to cover the wetland and
buffer boundaries that were revised due to the wetland delineation conducted in 2018
must be included on the preliminary plat.
5. Show location and elevation of emergency overflow of the biofiltration basin on the
storm sewer and/or grading plan.
6. Although the proposed biofiltration basin meets the City’s stormwater water quality rules
with the design shown in the plans, consider incorporating the proposed stormwater reuse
system within the MIDS calculator to demonstrate any additional pollutant removal
associated with this BMP. Additionally, the Green Infrastructure Analysis indicates a
green roof will be utilized over the parking area. This BMP also could be incorporated
into the MIDS model to demonstrate any additional abstraction and water quality
benefits. Based on the information provided Attachment 1, it is unclear how the drainage
areas in the existing conditions correspond with the areas incorporated in the existing
conditions’ HydroCAD and MIDS models (see summary table below). Provide additional
clarification on the acreage associated with subcatchments in the existing drainage area
figure and how they correspond with the areas incorporated in the models.
7. Two alternatives regarding the proposed sidewalk located on the north side of
Castlemoor Drive are available - a sidewalk easement will be required to cover the
sidewalk located within the private property or additional right of way dedicated with the
plat. The sidewalks located on both the north and south sides of Castlemoor Drive will
be privately owned and maintained if the right-of-way is vacated.
8. A sidewalk should be extended on the east/west access drive from Columbine Road to
the north/south access
9. Sidewalks that abut parking stalls shall be 7’ wide to accommodate vehicle overhang.
10. The location of the conservation easements over the wetland and wetland buffers must be
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment
April 18, 2019 Page 15
15
coordinated with the watershed district requirements for conservation easements. This
will require revision of the current conservation easement to match the new requirements.
Information on the wetland buffer requirements due to the MnRAM analysis must be
provided for review.
11. The applicant shall provide examples of the proposed materials, colors, and styles of the
amenities to be provided throughout the entire PUD project area.
12. Since this plan falls short of meeting the landscaping requirements, and the proof of
parking areas include proposed landscaping, the plans be revised to remove the proof of
parking.
13. The grading plan should be reviewed to determine if the following trees can be saved
through adjustments or the addition of small retaining walls: Tree # 5074, 5075, 5076,
5081, 5083, and 5085. The plan be revised to include the preservation of trees as
appropriate and the tree replacement calculation updated.
14. The plans shall be revised to confirm that the City Code requirement that 5% of the
parking area be provided as parking islands. The plans shall also be revised to confirm
that all minimum dimensions of the parking islands are 5 feet and islands are a minimum
of 160 square feet in size.
15. The landscaping plan shall be revised to accurately reflect the 691.76 caliper inches that
are proposed with the plan.
16. The applicant should provide additional information regarding the total square footage of
landscaped areas (minus the areas where shrubs are provided) in order to determine an
accurate accounting of the actual landscaping being provided on site and the associated
requested waiver amount.
Prior to issuance of a land alteration permit, the following items will need to be addressed:
1. The revised plans indicate that a significant amount of excess material from the site will need
to be exported. A haul route must be submitted to the City for review and approval.
2. Submit detailed storm water runoff, wetland, utility, street and erosion control plans for
review and approval by the City Engineer.
3. Obtain and provide documentation of Watershed District approval.
4. Notify the City and Watershed District 48 hours in advance of grading.
5. Install erosion control at the grading limits of the property for review and approval by the
City.
Prior to issuance of a building permit for Lot 1, the following items will need to be addressed:
1. The revised plans and stormwater management plans indicate that stormwater for Outlots A
& B (with the exception of the access and parking to be constructed with Phase 1) will be
treated independently of Lot 1. If the stormwater from Outlots A & B will discharge through
Lot 1, those locations must be shown on the plans at this time. Prior to issuance of a building
permit for Lot 1, sufficient sizing information will be required if the storm sewer piping
Staff Report – Castle Ridge Redevelopment
April 18, 2019 Page 16
16
within Lot 1 will convey any of the stormwater from Outlots A & B.
2. All manhole structures upstream of the biofiltration basin shall have sumps or other
pretreatment practices prior to discharge to the basin.
3. The final building permit plans for Lot 1 must address valving, flushing and testing
requirements of all of the private utilities to meet plumbing and building code requirements.
4. The proposed watermain and sanitary sewer for the project must be sized to meet all
plumbing and fire codes. Design and sizing calculations must be provided to the Building &
Inspections Division prior to release of a Building Permit for any portion of the property.
The private utility main line sizing must take into account the future land uses on Outlots A
& B.
5. The geotechnical borings currently provided within the building footprint are not of sufficient
depth to provide adequate information for the footing and foundation structural design.
Borings of adequate depth must be provided to the Building & Inspections Division prior to
issuance of a Building Permit.
