He noted this is a continuation of a public hearing. The presentation will be on both items and members of the public may comment on either agenda item. Mayor Muckle reopened the public hearing and requested a staff presentation. Planning and Building Safety Director Russ explained Ordinance No. 1693, Series 2015 approves the rezoning of 3.9 -acres located at 1055 Courtesy Road from City of Louisville Industrial (I) Zoning to City of Louisville Commercial Community (CC) and City of Louisville Mixed -Use Residential (MU -R). Resolution No. 36, Series 2015 approved a Rezoning, Final Plat, Final Planned Unit Development (PUD), and Special Review Use (SRU) for the redevelopment of the 3.9 acres property within the core project area. The redevelopment includes the addition of approximately 19,308- 23,000 SF of commercial space. Rezoning: The property is currently zoned Industrial. Redevelopment of this parcel requires rezoning to comply with Exhibit A. The request is to rezone to CC -Hwy 42 and MU -R- Parking. The purpose of the request is for 23,000 SF of commercial development, a 70 space City parking lot and an extension of Cannon Street. At the March 12, 2015 Planning Commission meeting, Staff recommended approval of the requested rezoning, final plat, final PUD and SRU for DELO Plaza, with conditions (prior to recordation of the plat). The applicant did not accept staff's conditions. The Planning Commission reviewed the application without conditions and recommended the City Council deny the request. On May 5, 2015 the application was reviewed by the City Council. Council directed staff to work with the applicant on conditions of approval to eliminate the following items identified in the Planning report: 1. The proposed development requires a waiver to the maximum allowed parking spaces. To justify this parking excess, applicant shall develop a shared parking agreement with the City for the private surface parking lot for events at Miners Field and larger downtown special events. The applicant modified the site plan to create 7 to 10 additional permanent on- street public parking spaces on the north side of South Street. Staff believes this condition has been met with the modified site plan. 2. All Signs, including any monument sign, shall comply with Chapter 7 of the CDDSG, as well as Section 17.24 of the LMC, including a 10 foot setback from right -of -way. The applicant has included a note in the PUD stating all signs will comply with the sign standards in the CDDSG. Staff believes this condition has been met. 3. The applicant shall continue to work with Public Works on addressing the comments shown in the February 11, 2015 memo. Staff recommended keeping this blanket condition in the PUD so staff may continue to work with the applicant on the outstanding items. The applicant is comfortable with the condition.
