SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 18, SERIES 2013 DATE: APRIL 16, 2013 PAGE 3 OF 4 possibility of a residential component being permitted in the Small Area Plan within Louisville Plaza (King Soopers)_ South Boulder Road and Highway 42 Corridors- Urban Corridor • Staff established a maximum commercial density with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.0 fronting the arterial and a maximum FAR of .5 not fronting the arterial. Staff believes this change provides the upcoming Small Area Plan more control in determining the ultimate commercial density for the corridor. • Staff reduced the density range in this corridor from 15 to 30 units an acre to a density range of "Up to 25 dwelling units per acre" This change better reflects the current density of buildings and allows more flexibility to the small area plan in controlling the ultimate density for this area. • Staff added a green swath to the corridor with additional language indicating a desire to "concentrate development toward South Boulder Road expand Cottonwood Park and preserve a frail corridor" This modification would encourage the City, working with the community and developers, to provide additional amenities to the corridor and provide a better transition from the current higher density zoning along South Boulder Road to the adjacent single family neighborhood. McCaslin— Urban Corridor • Staff established a maximum commercial density with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.0 fronting the arterial and a maximum FAR of .5 not fronting the arterial. Staff believes this change provides the upcoming Small Area Plan more control in determining the ultimate commercial density for the corridor. • Staff modified the density range in this corridor from 15 to 30 units an acre to a density range "Up to 30 dwelling units per acre" This change allows more flexibility in the small area planning process to control the ultimate density for this corridor. • Staff added a policy note stating "No Mixed Use streets should be designated north of Centennial Pavilion shopping center" This policy would effectively eliminate the possibility of a residential component being permitted in the Small Area Plan north of Centennial Pavilion shopping center (LaMar's)_ RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approving Resolution No. 18, Series 2013. Alternatively, if Council would prefer to have an additional meeting to discuss the plan, it may be continued to the May 7. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution 18, Series 2013 2.
