Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 8, 2015 <br />Page 5 of 23 <br />technologies. Regardless, staff believes the 50 -foot building height request warrants an <br />explanation. As a result the applicant added a note to the GDP stating: "The 50' max <br />building height accommodates two specific instances: a) Planning Area A - a two story <br />commercial building with a steeply pitched 'barn -like' roof form is proposed; and b) Planning Area <br />8 - a two -three story residential building with basement level garage parking access is proposed <br />in a location where the height is compatible with building height precedents on the adjacent <br />property." With the note on the applicant's requested GDP, staff finds the requested <br />building heights consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. <br />• City Zoning: Staff reviewed the annexation and zoning request against the City's existing <br />zoning map and found it compatible. The proposed annexation is surrounded by Steel <br />Ranch (Zoned PCZD — C and R) to the West and north; Balfo Senior Living to the East <br />(Zoned PCZD — C); and Christopher Village and Christophe a (Zoned Commercial <br />Business) to the South. The proposed yard and bulk stan • - ° were also found <br />compatible with the surrounding zoning. <br />• Intergovernmental Agreements: In August of 20121 . ouisville and the <br />Louisville Housing Authority entered into an Inter. • - menta -ement with Boulder <br />County and the Boulder County Housing Auth ncerning a ble housing within <br />the City of Louisville.

Staff directed <br />the applicant to update the model. However, the timing of the holiday season and the <br />public hearing schedule, the updated model was not completed in time for the posting of <br />this report; but, the report will be completed prior to the City Council meeting February <br />17th. Staff is presenting the findings of the initial report for planning commission <br />information. Note these numbers will not reflect the final number for the applicant's <br />requested GDP. Regardless staff anticipates this requested annexation zoning will <br />generate a negative fiscal impact on the City in terms of both annual operating and one <br />time capital. The study makes various assumptions about building unit values, sales per <br />square foot, household income attributable to new residents, the study estimates: "The <br />
