1. This existing certified nonconforming apartment complex (CNU 17911-2005) was constructed in 1966. The approved building site plan in MNCPPC records indicates that 55 dwelling units were approved consisting of 18 one-bedroom units, 19 two-bedroom units, and 18 three-bedroom units. Based on the information provided on the approved site plan and the net lot area of Parcel A, which is 111, 113 s.f. or 2.5508 acres, the 55 dwelling units met the minimum net lot area of 2, 000 s.f. of lot area per dwelling unit required at the time of construction. Parcel B, the access to the apartments, is zoned C-O (was R-55 at the time of construction) and was not included nor can be included in the overall density requirements. The maximum density of the R-18 Zone was however amended in the Zoning Ordinance on May 6, 1975, to the current requirement of 12 units per acre. The apartment complex exceeds this by providing a density of 21.56 units per acre. The apartments also exceed maximum percentages of two or more bedrooms by providing 34.5% two bedrooms and 32.7 % three bedroom units. Bedroom percentages were not adopted until 10/1/68. This appears to be the date at which the apartment became “nonconforming”. 11/7/17 – Ok per ERR-264.
2. All prior apartment licenses were for 57 units, however this application and site plan reference only 55 dwelling units at the time of certification. Fifty-seven dwelling units cannot be certified because only 1,949 s.f. of net lot area per dwelling unit would have been provided which is less than the minimum required (2,000 s.d. per d/u). If this new application is proposing 57 dwelling units Validation of Apartment License Issued In Error is required. 11/7/17 – Ok per ERR-264.
