City Council Meeting Minutes March 3, 2015 Page 7 of 24 setbacks. There is also more residential planned in the Comprehensive Plan for the South Boulder Road Area so knowing the housing types was important. In the McCaslin /Centennial Valley Small Area Plan it is unclear whether there should be housing and if so the densities. There should also be questions relative to transit stops. Council member Lipton noted on South Boulder Road there is a lot of greenfield development, where on McCaslin there is more redevelopment. He felt it was important to get a sense about the Sam's Club area and have some focused questions on land uses along McCaslin Boulevard. He felt on South Boulder Road the goal was to get input on architectural style. He suggested some questions directly relating to the redevelopment of certain areas stressed along McCaslin. Planner II Robinson explained there are questions related to land uses, but they can be formulated to ask specifics about housing. He reviewed the changes to the South Boulder Road survey questions to reflect the different environment in the McCaslin Boulevard corridor as follows: • Changes in the uses described in questions 3 and 4. • Addition of "Entertainment (theater)" in question 6. • Combining medical offices and professional services into one item in questions 6 • Addition of "Warehouse /Industrial flex space" in question 6 • Addition of "Open space" in question 6 • New photos for 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3D, 4C, 4D, 5C, 6A, 7B, 8A, 8B & 9A to address McCaslin Boulevard contains larger parcel sizes and larger buildings Council member Leh addressed the consideration of the Recreation Center in the study area. He voiced his support for the Recreation Center inclusion in the McCaslin Small Area Plan and felt they are geographically connected. Planning and Building Safety Director Russ stated there would be a risk of not producing a successful small area plan for McCaslin with the inclusion of the Recreation Center. He felt there should be a comprehensive public discussion on the Recreation Center. He noted planning staff does not have the resources to address an aquatics center or play fields. He agreed they are interrelated geographically, but are two distinct plans of study. Mayor Muckle agreed more information relative to pool and recreation centers is needed. PUBLIC COMMENT Michael Menaker, 1827 W. Choke Cherry Drive, Louisville, CO stated he was interested if the City Council would support specific direction on two questions: 1) Rezoning all of the Sam's Club property for mixed use. 2) Support for residential development in Centennial Valley, modeled on the Steel Ranch development and would support increase if there was age restriction for 55 +.
