Preliminary Internal Review Draft <br />AREAS OF STABILITY & AREAS OF CHANGE <br />Areas of stability and areas of change serve as a tool to understand the opportunities for future growth in <br />the city. <br />Existing neighborhoods, open spaces, and parks are areas of stability and are unlikely to change <br />due to existing conditions or high community value. Some residential areas may accommodate <br />incremental, context -sensitive change, such as accessory dwelling units (ADUs), duplexes, or small-scale <br />infill. Transitions into established neighborhoods should carefully consider height, density, and overall <br />character. <br />Primarily located at the edges of the city and along major corridors, areas of change are expected to <br />have the most growth in volume and intensity. Properties such as churches, schools, or larger sites on <br />major roads may transition to medium density residential and possibly commercial, while being sensitive <br />to neighborhood context. <br />Four opportunity areas present the most significant opportunities, focused along McCaslin Boulevard and <br />South Boulder Road. The anticipated relocation of AdventHealth Avista to Redtail Ridge will create a major <br />redevelopment opportunity at the former hospital site. Additionally, several vacant sites and underutilized <br />parcels near the McCaslin Boulevard Park & Ride are also likely candidates for redevelopment. These key <br />areas of change are identified as Opportunity Areas (Figure X). The type and intensity of development for <br />these areas is further defined in the FLUM, corresponding land use categories, and in the following plan <br />element Focus Area Development Opportunity Areas (DO). <br />1. South Boulder Road Corridor <br />South Boulder Road offers potential for infill/ <br />redevelopment. Scenario planning explores <br />trade-offs between increased housing, retail/ <br />commercial uses, and connectivity. <br />3. McCaslin <br />Boulevard Corridor <br />This corridor, which <br />includes commercial <br />vacancies, is well - <br />positioned for infill and <br />redevelopment. Scenario <br />planning explores tradeoffs <br />between increased <br />housing, retail, commercial <br />uses, and connectivity. <br />2. Downtown <br />Downtown Louisville <br />features a mix of historic <br />buildings and local <br />businesses along Main <br />Street. A future transit <br />station north of Downtown <br />presents a key opportunity <br />for redevelopment. As <br />the area's population <br />increases, the opportunity <br />for successful retail also <br />increases. <br />4. Redtail Ridge <br />Redtail Ridge offers opportunities for growth and density of different <br />land uses. If Adventist Hospital is relocated, the property may become a <br />redevelopment site. <br />60 I Land Use and Development <br />LOUISVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />
