Planning Commission Meeting Minutes March 8, 2012 Page 9of 16 Russell stated the Commission needs to make a decision based on what we have heard through the hearings and what the applicant has presented. Russell moved and Moline seconded a motion to deny Resolution No. 1, Series 2012 a resolution recommending approval of a preliminary plat, preliminary PUD and SRU topermit the construction of 5 buildings, 3 of which will contain a total of 180 apartment units and structured parking and 2 of which will contain 10,000 SF of retail development, on Tract One of the Louisville North, Filing 7 Subdivision located at 707 E. South Boulder Road. Discussion of motion: Russell stated he wants a project of quality but not this project. Lipton stated he is not so strong on rejecting but would like to eventually see mixed use at a higher percentage of usage and closer to the 127 units. He stated the parking is okay. He expressed concern with the impact it will have on the surrounding neighborhoods. Tengler stated he is not in favor as the project was presented. He would like to see a balance between residential and retail. He stated itwould be really great if we could consider the entire site for redevelopment and not just this tract of land. The project appears to be out of character due to its size (massing). Lipton asked Russ ifthe commission has two issues: 1. itmeets the SRU criteria, either yes or no and 2. It meets the PUD requirements, either yes or no. Russ stated he agrees. Lipton reminded the Commissioners to keep in mind the SRU criteria and PUD requirements. Russell stated it isn’t as quantitative as that. The project does not comply with the SRU criteria. He would also like to be looking at the entire site. Moline stated he wouldsupport the motion based on SRU criteria #1 (CompPlan) and the project does not comply with the neighborhood.
