Business Retention & Development Committee <br />Meeting Minutes <br />December 3, 2014 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />Makeup of what it is plus commuter retail. Two grocery stores helpful, apartments and density <br />are helpful. More permanent residents will start shopping the area. <br />No daytime population. Not like Centennial Valley. <br />SoBoRd destination is good for cars, not for pedestrians or cyclists. <br />Two grocery stores but lack of destination retail. <br />What specifications would you put in the City's plans for the area to improve retail <br />activity? <br />Another convenience gas station would help but not allowed by zoning. No gas station on <br />south side of South Boulder Road. Gas service is below national averages in Louisville. <br />The area is car friendly but no social aspect to keep people in the area longer. The large retail <br />centers are dated. The retail experience is not that exciting. <br />Regional stores are on east side of Hwy 42. West of Hwy 42 has a more neighborhood feel. <br />Should this be a regional corridor? Are you looking for different retail? King Sooper is the one <br />business balancing what is going on with Centennial Valley. Put King Sooper closer to Hwy 42 <br />and smaller business might be attracted. <br />Land use and zoning is hodgepodge, residential next to multi family. Feels different than the <br />rest of Louisville. Needs to transition to a proper mix. Louisville does good job of supporting <br />local. Staged process through zoning adjustments. Need more interesting use of zoning; <br />have the City be more flexible with a mix of uses. Not pedestrian friendly. The area wants to <br />be mixed use. <br />Traffic speed is too high for the uses along the road. <br />Is the corridor over -built for retail? Can the area support what is already constructed? <br />And what would improve commercial activity in the area? <br />Flexibility on the mix of uses. Retail mixed with residential has been working in similar areas. <br />Parking modifications in areas to improve ease of access. <br />What is your vision for your property in the next 5, 15, or 30 years? <br />Big picture mixed use with retail, neighborhood services, more residential. Bring in craft <br />brewery. Market those uses with help from the City. Improve the retail offerings by increasing <br />stores that have emotional appeal. City can make it more vibrant by allowing mixed -use <br />redevelopments. <br />9 <br />
