City Council Meeting Minutes August 2, 2005 Page 8 of 14 Council member Marsella concurred and stated her understanding it would be a vision statement rather than a population cap. There was Council support for a commercial designation for the Newbold property. Mayor Sisk requested public comment on Opportunity Area #2. Herb Newbold, 9650 Empire Road, Louisville, CO commented there are various development options for all the Opportunity Areas, and suggested having cross- hatching on the Framework Map that provides more than one option. There was Council consensus on Opportunity Area #2. Planning Director Wood summarized Council's direction. Opportunity Area #3 Opportunity Area #3 should continue to be a key employment center for the City of Louisville. This area will provide adequate land supply for the development of light to medium Industrial and Business Park uses. The policy direction for the area reinforces the need to have strong urban design standards to maintain and promote the employment park as an attractive and positive business environment. There should be a range of professional and retail services that are complimentary to and support the employees of the park. The Northwest Parkway IGA designates land uses applicable to lands in the IGA Plan area within or adjacent to Area #3, including the Hoyle, Ferguson and T & T Bennett properties (annexed), and the Self Property (unincorporated). The IGA Plan is a comprehensive development plan establishing land uses for these areas while designations remain in place. The Planning Commission recommended the Framework Plan Map include Commission's preferred designations for these areas. Staff notes IGA amendments and/or other acceptable arrangement would be necessary to achieve these Commission preferred designations in a manner consistent with the IGA. Similarly, some revision to the Plan language may be useful to clarify the continuing application of the Intergovernmental Agreement where applicable. City Attorney Light explained the Framework Plan is consistent with all the Intergovernmental Agreements. He stressed the importance of designating the properties still subject to the Northwest Parkway and other IGA's. He suggested one option would be to add a note on the Framework Map, or put cross hatches to denote an IGA on the property. He noted with all the Intergovernmental Agreements, there are opportunities for amendments. There was Council consensus that cross-hatching would depict an IGA on a property.
