City Council <br /> Meeting Minutes <br /> August 16, 2011 <br /> Page 5 of 8 <br /> ordinances set forth in titles 15 and 17 of the Louisville Municipal Code; and the 2005 <br /> Citywide Comprehensive Plan, as amended. <br /> MOTION: Councilor Dalton moved to include all the materials outlined by the City <br /> Attorney in the record of the hearing, seconded by Councilor Muckle. All were in favor. <br /> Absent: Councilor Sackett. <br /> Mayor Sisk opened the public hearing and requested a staff presentation. <br /> Planning Director Russ explained the applicant, RMCS, LLC is requesting authorization <br /> to revise the approved GDP to allow for a modification to the density allowance <br /> permitted in Planning Area 4. The current residential unit allowance permitted in <br /> Planning Area 4 is 198 multi family units. The applicant is proposing to add the western <br /> 6 acre property to Planning Area 4 and would like to include 108 additional multi family <br /> units to the northern 4.5 acres of the parcel and approximately 13,000 SF of office use <br /> to the southern 1.5 acres of the parcel. <br /> The original Takoda Village GDP was approved on June 3, 2008 by Ordinance No. <br /> 1536, Series 2008; the Final Subdivision Plat and Final PUD for Takoda were approved <br /> by Resolution No. 24, Series 2008. A 2010 amendment allows for a density transfer of <br /> 20 units from Planning Areas 2 and 3 to Planning Area 4. This amendment is limited to <br /> Planning Area 4. The 6 acre parcel being added to this GDP was originally annexed into <br /> the City of Louisville in 1982 and zoned Agricultural (A) on the northern portion of the <br /> property and Office (0) on the southern portion of the property. <br /> The proposed use of all lands within the subject property establishes land uses for <br /> Planning Area 4 consistent with the uses established for PCZD Residential Zoning. The <br /> uses primarily permitted are Single- family detached dwelling units; Single- family <br /> attached dwelling units and Multiple- family dwellings. The primary intent of the GDP <br /> amendment is to allow for multi family development in Planning Area 4. The applicant is <br /> requesting the flexibility to allow for a single family product, similar to the age -in -place <br /> product of Boulder Creek Homes in the Takoda/Steel Ranch Planning Area #2. <br /> The other land use being proposed by this amendment is an office complex along South <br /> Boulder Road. The GDP calls for a PCZD Commercial /Residential (PCZD -C /R) zoning. <br /> Staff supported the office use but did not support additional commercial uses since the <br /> traffic study did not anticipate additional commercial uses. Staff recommended the uses <br /> for the PCZD -C /R parcel be limited to residential and office use. <br /> The character of development in the proposed GDP Amendment incorporates two key <br /> elements: land use (including density) and unit counts associated with determining the <br /> anticipated 20 -year population within the City of Louisville. Land Use (Density): The <br /> applicant is requesting 108 additional residential units for a total of 306 in the northern <br /> portion of Takoda Planning Area 4. The previous unit count for the Takoda Planning <br />
