All in favor. Brown excused. <br /> <br />City Manager Bill Simmons explained that if Council adopts Ordinance No. 1375, Series <br />2002, on second reading, it will authorize the City to collect three percent sales tax <br />through 2003, and thereafter three and three-eights percent. <br /> <br />ORDINANCE NO. 1376, SERIES 2002 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING <br />CERTAIN PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR FREESTANDING BUILDINGS <br />WITHIN DOWNTOWN LOUISVILLE AND ADJUSTING THE DOWNTOWN <br />LOUISVILLE PARKING IMPROVEMENT FEE - 1st reading - set public hearing <br />4/16/02 <br /> <br />Davidson called for City Attorney introduction. <br /> <br />City Attorney Sam Light read Ordinance No. 1376, Series 2002. <br /> <br />City Manager Bill Simmons reviewed the amendments to Ordinance No. 1376, Series <br />2002: <br /> · Section 17.20.25 (G) reduces the parking improvement fee from $10,500 to <br /> $3,600 per parking space. <br /> · Section 17.20.025 exempts the first 999 SF, on a cumulative basis to each <br /> property within Downtown Louisville. <br /> · Section 17.20.025 (B) excludes vent shafts, courts, uninhabitable areas below <br /> ground level or in attics, or areas within hallways, stairways and bathrooms. A <br /> restaurant use shall not include floor area designed primarily for use by service <br /> and food preparation staff. <br /> <br />Erik Hartronft, Hartronft Fauri Architects, 801 Main Street, Louisville, Co, voiced his <br />opinion that exclusively used storage space should be exempt. <br /> <br />Sisk stated that the ordinance refers to uninhabitable area below ground. Hartronft stated <br />that many downtown retailers have storage area above ground, on main floors and to the <br />rear of their buildings. <br /> <br />Sisk voiced his concern that non-leased office space could claim to be storage and not be <br />subject to the parking ordinance. Hartronft stated that the PUD would specify the amount <br />of storage area. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />
