Louisville City Council Meeting April 4, 2000 Page 14. O'Connor stated that was not one of the conditions for approval of the Final PUD Development Plan. He stated he could not speak to what happens after the PUD is approved. He noted that they are currently negotiating with the Peak-to-Peak Charter School and have been instructed by State officials that the State will be the authority to ultimately determine whether the school will be allowed to locate in building "C". O'Connor noted that State law supercedes local law. Mayer stated that if the State wants to make representation that they can supersede the City of Louisville' s rules and regulations they are welcome to do so. Mayer stated that as a condition of approval, he would insist upon a Special Review Use for any authorization of a school within industrial zoning. Sam Light, City Attorney stated that the PUD can be conditioned by Special Review Use approval. Light noted that his office is currently reviewing the issue and hopes to have a recommendation for Council. Light reviewed that the approval of the PUD will not authorize that use. He noted that language could be added to the PUD, which states that nothing in this approval constitutes an approval of a Special Review Use. Mayer stated that anything that was not industrial with the said zoning would require a Special Review Use. Light stated that was self evident in the Code. Sisk asked Mr. O'Connor if they are still in the negotiation process, why has the Peak to Peak Charter School advertised the location for their new school on their Web Site. O'Connor stated that school believes that they will be moving into the building site. He noted that the school has been in contact with various State agencies and is confident that they will be moving into the building this fall. Sisk asked if the building was going to be built to the specifications of a school with classrooms and restrooms or as a light industrial structure. O'Connor stated that the core shell as designed, is a light industrial facility. The finish work completed for the school would be more to a schools usage, including classrooms and bathrooms. He stated that the State has adopted the 1999 Uniform Building Code and the City of Louisville is still operating under the 1997 Uniform Building Code. He stated that the State has a higher level of requirements. O'Connor noted that regardless of what happens at the State, the building permit plans would be submitted to the City. Sisk asked Planning Director Wood the number of employees allowed to occupy that facility under the normal light industrial code. Wood stated that there are 110 parking spaces that would serve the building providing 2.75 spaces per thousand. 14
