DISCUSSION/DIRECTION - PRELIMINARY PUD AND SUBDIVISION PLAN FOR CENTENNIAL VALLEY - PARCEL O - COMMERCIAL CENTER Paul Wood, Planning Director, stated that the parcel is 42 acres in area, zoned PC, located east of McCaslin, north of Dillon, south of Cherry Street, west of Dahlia Street. The preliminary PUD shows the location of two "anchors" respectively located on Lots 1 and 2, with Lot 1 being 125,000 s.f., with an expansion area, potentially up to 230,000 s.f. Lot 2 being 70,000 sof. Lots 3 - 9 are perimeter lots, which would each come before Council as their own individual PUD. As far as access to this property, the proposed PUD represents a full turning movement on McCaslin and two full access median breaks on Dillon Road, as well as taking advantage of the existing median break on Cherry Street, with providing an additional right-in/right-out on Cherry Street. He stated that a transportation study has been prepared and is currently being reviewed by the Public Works Department. Wood stated that a special meeting of the Planning Commission had been set to review the preliminary PUD for July 19, 1993 at 8:00 p.m. The issues that will be raised are: 1.) 3.) 4.) 5.) The application of landscape and design standards. Building heights and how those would be affected by changes to the grade. Parking ratios, traffic circulation, and ingress/egress. Pedestrian circulation. Signage with respect to number, location, and size. Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Don Shonkwiler, Homart Development, stated that instead of there being two anchors, one being an extraordinarily large anchor, there will be three anchors. One will be in the 50,000 s.f. range, possibly a grocery store; one large anchor that's currently indicated at 230,000 s.f. will in fact be 126,000 s.f. initially, with an ability to expand an additional 30,000 s.f.; then, they have an opportunity to expand the third anchor to about 105,000 s.f. The target market for that would be something in the "home improvement" range. The uses that they have currently indicated for the perimeter pads are banks, a gas station site, a fast food outlet, and a sit-down restaurant. They are also attempting to work with daycare operators for an additional day care site in that end of Louisville. He stated that the landscaping and the design standards for this property will be created by Homart Development, as they are the premiere shopping center developer in the United States and have great expertise in this area. He stated, concerning height, that the height and profile on the three anchors will be similar to what is at Louisville Plaza. The perimeter users, particularly the banks, will probably be two-story units. The only signalization that will be required will be on McCaslin Boulevard between Cherry Street and Dillon Road. The primary circulation for this site is going to be from a perimeter road, 5
