Case #01-003- ZN.  Case Manager: Paul Wood, Planning Director  Applicants: Adrian Games, Richard & Mary Johnson, and St. Louis Catholic Parish (Rev. Donald Willette)  Owners: Archdiocese of Denver, Johnson and Games  Representative: Brian Rick Public Notice Verification: Paul Wood, Planning Director, reported that public notice was properly served having been published in the Daily Camera, posted in City Hall and mailed to the surrounding property owners. Because the item was continued it has been reposted in City Hall. Disclosures: Leh stated that he was approached by Ty Gee and that he had requested that the Planning Commission treat the St. Louis Parish request as a commercial development project. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Wood reported that the subject property is a contiguous, 54.6-acre parcel th comprised of three ownership parcels located at the northeast quadrant of the intersection of S. 96 Street and Dillon Road. They are currently zoned Agricultural (A). The application is a request to rezone the parcels to Planned Community Zone District – Commercial (PCZD-C). Staff is headed toward a recommendation of disapproval but at this time staff wanted to bring this case to the Planning Commission to address several outstanding issues. The intent of the three applicant’s is to assemble their respective properties into the framework of an overall General Development Plan (GDP), as the mechanism to coordinate development and design requirements, as well as access, circulation, and infrastructure requirements into a unified plan. The Louisville Municipal Code requires that a request for a PCZD zone designation must be accompanied by a GDP, which defines a planning area with a minimum of 30 acres in single ownership. The rezoning request is in compliance with that requirement, which then enables the other parcels to be incorporated into the same GDP based upon their contiguity. The Archdiocese is requesting approval of the rezoning and the accompanying GDP to build a foundation for a campus facility for a new 1,200-seat church/sanctuary and attached K-8 school facility for an enrollment of approximately 600 students. The revised GDP submitted in August reflects three zones of development: Zone I is the church and school campus on 17 acres. Zone II, with the majority of the planning area of 33.5 acres, would be commercial non-retail and administrative offices. Zone III would be retained for assisted living and childcare facilities on 3.8 acres. The applicant is also proposing a Phasing of the development. Phase I is a 34,5000 SF church sanctuary, 43,250 SF tennis facility and 50,000 SF of commercial office with a planned completion of 2005. 6
