<br />Commissioner Lipton disagrees with the issue of the lack of three-story capability for <br />redevelopment and because of that Louisville may not see the investment in downtown and the <br />vitality that people want out of this area. <br /> <br />Motion made by Jeffrey Lipton to approve Ordinance No. 1293, Series 1999, approving and <br />adopting the design handbook for Downtown Louisville. Seconded by Chris Pritchard. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lipton presented a statement which read: “It is the sense of the Planning <br />Commission that the east side of the tracks should likely be treated somewhat differently from a <br />design guideline perspective than the west side of the tracks. However, until separate design <br />guidelines are developed and enacted for the eastside of the tracks, it is imparative that the <br />downtown design guidelines apply equally to both sides.” <br /> <br />Roll Call Vote: <br /> Bill Boulet, Yes; Robert McAllister, Yes; Betty Solek, Yes; Jeffrey Lipton, Yes; <br />Chris Pritchard, Yes. Motion passes 5:0. <br /> <br /> <br />B. Resolution No. 15, Series 1999, a Resolution recommending approval of an <br />ordinance amending Chapter 17.20 of the Municipal code and the <br />Commercial Development Design Standards and Guidelines to require <br />development within Downtown Louisville meet specific off-street parking <br />requirements. <br /> <br />Staff Public Notice Certification/ Planning Commission Disclosure: <br /> <br />Manjeet Ranu, Planner I, certified that public notice was published in the Daily Camera on <br />February 21, 1999, and posted in City on February 19, 1999. This ordinance was continued from <br />the previous Planning Commission meeting on March 9, 1999. The Commission has heard this <br />previously in November. <br /> <br />Staff Report and Facts and Issues: <br /> <br />Mr. Ranu explained that this proposed ordinace is intended to establish a new parking <br />requirement to better suit downtown parking needs. This ordinance has been brought back to the <br />Planning Commission because it has been revised considerably. Mr. Ranu gave a brief description <br />of the details of this matter as stated in the staff report. <br /> <br />Commission Questions: <br /> <br />Chairman Boulet asked if a building were remodeled and there were not any square footage added <br />to it if they would have to come up with any parking. Mr. Ranu stated that only if the structure <br />were expanded then they would have to come up with parking. <br /> <br /> <br /> 3 <br /> <br />
