The NgAwaY 42 gevrtakaatnn - K ` " 4raa CgnPn~ensws -un ,r. ~, `7 t~: ~° 1 wmenm~,e _ - ~~~..~, j - ,, ;~~_ ~~~ establishes joint policies regarding the rezoning, discretionary land use approvals, and annexation in order to promote community buffer in northeast Louisville. It further identifies municipal "Influence Areas" which determines the parcels that each municipality may annex (set to expire in 2016). SOUTHEAST BOULDER COUNTY, SOUTH 96r" STREET, D/LLON ROAD, AND US 287 AREA COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN /GA (1999). For the preservation of rural character, and "to preclude increased development and urban sprawl which would obliterate the boundaries of Broomfield, Lafayette, and Louisville," these municipalities and Boulder County signed an IGA in 1999. The Plan designates land use provisions to each parcel in the Plan Area (southeast Louisville), and encourages all lands within the Rural Preservation Area to remain in the unincorporated areas of Boulder County, with the intention that none of the lands will urbanize within the life of the plan (set to expire in 2029). SOUTH SUBAREA PLAN (2003). The South Subarea Plan was City initiated, and originally adopted by Council in February of 1994. The planning area is defined as being those parcels north of US 36 and south of Coal Creek, including Monarch Campus, Avista Hospital, and StorageTek. The structure of the document is organized in goals, polices and more specific action items, and does not include a Land Use Map. Centered on the intersection of South 96"' Street and Dillon Road, the Land Use element lists specific land use actions by quadrant. The South Subarea Plan was amended in 1998 and again in 2003 to incorporate the South 96`h Street and Highway 42 connection and proposed redevelopment of the Southwest Quadrant of 96`h Street and Dillon Road. The 2005 Comprehensive Plan takes precedence over the South Subarea Plan. HIGHWAY 42 REVITALIZATION AREA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (2003). This area is bordered by Highway 42 on the east, South Boulder Road on the north, the BNSF railroad on the west and Pine Street to the south. The Plan capitalizes on the potential presence of regional transportation facilities to capture high quality mixed-use development, strengthen and enhance adjacent residential neighborhoods and downtown, and address required access and parking. Development of zoning, design guidelines, and environmental assessments to implement the plan are ongoing. January 25th, Study Session Draft
