A compelling benefit may include, but not be limited to the provision of underground parking, the incorporation of green and sustainable building practices, and or the provision of affordable housing.

Ground floor nonresidential uses are strongly encouraged to locate around public squares, plazas, and spaces. Sec. 17.14.060 Dimensional and Blulk Standards. This Section 17.14.060's dimensional and bulk standards shall apply to all new development in the MU-R and CC Zone Districts. A. General Intent- MU-R. The dimensional and bulk standards in this section are intended to encourage and allow more "urban scale" development within the Highway 42 Revitalization Area consistent with planning goals for that area. Compared to other commercial and residential development allowed in Louisville, "urban scale" generally means taller buildings similar to those found in downtown Louisville, greater lot coverage, and buildings pushed close to the front property line. The dimensional and bulk standards are also intended to support a pedestrian friendly environment along the district's streets. Buildings pushed closer to the street edge provide a sense of enclosure for the pedestrian, making the district a more inviting place to walk. Building length is regulated so that principal buildings are scaled to allow pedestrians and vehicles access from a perimeter public street to the interior of the district at relatively frequent intervals. In addition, a maximum building length standard is intended to prevent adverse visual impacts on neighboring properties that a long, uninterrupted solid building wall might create, particularly where block length within the district exceeds 400 feet. B. Table of Dimensional and Bulk ~3tandards. All new development in the MU-R and CC Zone Districts shall comply with the dimensional and bulk standards stated in Table 3 below. See Section 17.14.060.C for additional dimensional and bulk regulations, including rules of measurement and exceptions. ~: ~ • ~ ~ • ~ • ~ . ~.-~ Residential Density: Minimum NA 12 units er ross acre Base ivlaximum NA 20 units er ross acre Minimum Lot Area NA N/A Minimum Lot Width NA 40 Minimum Buildin Covera a-See Fi ure 6. 30% 40% Minimum Landsca a Covera a 20% 10% Building/Structure Setbacks from Property Lines A lies to Princi al and Accesso Buildin s Minimum and Maximum Setbacks from Min : 15 ft.
