Louisville City Council Special Meeting March 12, 2003 Page 3 Sisk asked Laus to explain the three Land Use Scenarios. Laus stated scenario #1 is the existing zoning, which reflects the estimated build-out under current zoning. Scenario #2 proposes rezoning and reflects the stakeholders' intent for their respective properties. Implementing scenario #2 would require a rezoning of the Storage Tek and Archdiocese properties. This scenario also introduces residential uses with the South Sub-Area. Scenario # 3 proposes rezoning and reflects the stakeholders' intent for their respective properties excluding the additional residential uses that were included in scenario #2. The scenario reflects a shift of the land used for residential in scenario #2 to a mix of other non-residential uses. She pointed out the big components of the scenario is lhe reduction in retail 350,000 SF to 200,000 SF and stressed retail sales tax is a large part of fiscal analysis and has a significant effect on the final outcome. LAND USE SCENARIO - LAND USE PLANS ARCHDIOCESE - ST. LOUIS CATHOLIC PARISH CAMPUS Brian Rick, 1995 Clipper Drive, Lafayette, CO, representing the Archdiocese of Denver and St. Louis Catholic Parish and two other landowners, explained Father Kao could not attend the meeting due to a prior commitment. He reviewed the background of the property, stating the property is 58 acres, and owned by the Archdiocese of Denve and, the St. Louis Parish, Richard and Millie Johnson, and the Games family. The properties were annexed to the City in 1996, with some expectations of development but no specific reference was made. He noted there was an expectation associated with the annexation agreement, none, which bear on rights of use. He noted their planning efforts have been to use the existing comprehensive plan language, which identifies this property as supporting services, including retail for the Colorado Technology Center. At last review, the property was deemed proper for retail, and commercial support services development. Rick reviewed the entities planning effort has been to have the intersection of Dillon & 96th as the future home of the St. Louis Church and school campus. He stressed the St. Louis Parish owns 38 of the 58 acres and less than 18 acres are necessary for build-out of church and school. The parish has 20 acres of additional property and an interest in joint planning with the two other entities to be complimentary and supportive of the church. He stated the most logical use of the balance of the property would be commercial/retail uses. He noted they are not proposing residential uses other than short-term transitional uses. He stated they are evaluating how to blend commercial retail with the church and school campus. He suggested support services to CTC be incorporated into the plans. He noted the properties close proximity to existing open space would lend itself to trail connections, and connections to CTC employees. He stated they are interested in providing complementary uses to other needs and uses to the City. He stressed they would like the goals and policies of the comp plan lead and guide them. He noted upon adoption of the comp plan, they will come forward with proposals and presentations. He stressed the importance of the transportation issues with respect to the comer 96th & Dillon.
