of Colorado Tech Land Company, LI,C, which is the same owner of this project. To the east of the subject parcel is the Mayhoffer Section 15 Open Space owned by Boulder County. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL / ST,~FF COMMENTS: As the proposed building is coming forward at this point as a speculative building the core and shell is being designed to maximize the opportunity to `flex' for the needs of future multiple tenants including a mix of office, light manufacturing, industrial and warehouse uses. The building proposal is subject to the design standards of the Industrial Development and Design Standards and Guidelines (IDDSG). The subdivision plat and the PUD proposal are generally in compliance with the requirements of the Louisville Municipal Code (LMC') with respect to the requirements for subdivision, as well standards of the IDDSG. Subdivision Plat: The applicant has submitted a final subdivision plat to allow for a lot line adjustment of 8' to the north for Lot 3. As the applicant laid. out the site plan, based on the standards established in the design guidelines, it was found that t]he lot lines needed to be adjusted to allow for each building to have a proper side yard setback. ~-ccording to the standards established in the International Building Code (IBC), buildings must. retain a minimum setback of 10' from any property line, or be constructed of fire rated materials,. Without the lot line adjustment, the building to the south would only have a 2' side yard setback to the north. PUD Development Plan: Site Plan The proposed site plan provides a layout for two 31,738 SF single-story flex office buildings that are situated on two separate Lots. Once approved, each lot could be sold off for individual ownership. According to the applicant, the project will be phased to allow for the construction of one of the buildings within 6 months of the approval date. The phasing is based on the availability of offsite sanitation facilities which is being constructed by the City. The Public Works Department has noted the construction of the buildings shall not occur until the new lift station on South 104th Street is constructed. The proposed buildings do allow full. vehicular and emergency access to all sides of the building, as well as loading docks in the rear of the building (located on the west side of the building). Building setbacks and the design of parking and vehicular circulation areas are in compliance with the IDDSG. Access The development is designed to allow for three access points -two on South 104th Street (to the east) and one on Dogwood Street (to the south). Because these properties are intended to be sold off individually, the applicant has allowed for an access easement to be dedicated on the subdivision plat. 2
