She disagreed with the argument that these homes must be built. Marcie Smith, 2280 W. Hecla Drive, Louisville, CO stated when she bought her home she was told the property in question was zoned for commercial. City Attorney Light requested the City Council, by motion, formally include in the record of the public hearing the following materials: All application materials submitted by the applicant in connection with the preliminary plat, preliminary PUD, the general development plan amendment; all materials included in the City Council packets consisting of the staff reports and all attachments included with the communication; the public hearing notices; the proofs of notification for the public hearing; all written referrals and public comments received regarding the application; the PowerPoint presentations displayed during the public hearings; the City's Subdivision ordinances in Titles 16 and 17 of the Louisville Municipal Code and the City's Comprehensive Plan. MOTION: Council member Loo moved to include all the documents outlined by the City Attorney into the record of the public hearing, seconded by Council member Stolzmann. All were in favor. Absent: Council member Lipton. COUNCIL DISCUSSION: Council member Loo stated the Planning Commission and the Open Space Advisory Boards unanimously supported the development. Mayor Pro Tern Dalton's concern centered over being anxious over the development of 24 units. He felt it would be a quality development built by a quality builder. Council member Keany asked if this is a rezoning of the parcel. Planning Director Russ stated it is a rezoning of Parcel H from the general development plan. Planner II Robinson explained it is not technically a rezoning, it is zoned Planned Community Zone District Commercial/Residential and will stay zoned Planned Community Zone District Commercial/Residential. The zoning requires a general development plan to define allowed uses. Before the Council is an amendment to a general development plan to change the allowed uses. Planning Director Russ explained the North Louisville General Development Plan allowed 25 residential units in Parcel J. Mayor Muckle stated the property was not commercially viable because it had minimal visibility and access, which changed when Hecla Drive and Kaylix Avenue and the neighborhoods were developed. He noted when the Alkonis property is built by the Boulder County Housing Authority there will be an additional neighborhood. Council member Keany stated the road, which split the parcels has shifted to the east. Mayor Muckle noted the land east of Kaylix may be more viable for commercial.
