Mayor Muckle moved approve Resolution No. 42, Series 2016. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Stolzmann. All in favor. RESOLUTION NO. 43, SERIES 2016 — A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD)AND SPECIAL REVIEW USE (SRU) TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW BUILDING WITH 5,700 SF OF COMMERCIAL SPACE, THE REMODEL OF THE EXISTING HOUSE, AND OUTDOOR SALES AT 824 SOUTH STREET, LOT 1, BLOCK 5, LOUISVILLE OLD TOWN Planner Robinson gave the staff presentation. Currently the site has a house on the west side of the property. The proposal would keep the house, remove the existing garage, and build a new commercial structure on the eastern portion of the lot. The proposal complies with the zoning standards and meets the yard and bulk standards for downtown in the Commercial Community zone district except for the parking requirements. The applicant is proposing five spaces at the back of the building but is required to provide 12 spaces. In addition, the proposed ADA parking space uses the sidewalk for loading and unloading. Staff has concerns about using this public space for private benefit and also it conflicts with other pedestrians using the sidewalk. Planner Robinson stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of the ADA use of the sidewalk, but with the condition that if it becomes a problem the ADA space will be moved so as not to conflict with the sidewalk. Planner Robinson noted the proposal is seven spaces short of the requirement. The applicant is proposing paying a fee -in -lieu of the parking spaces. That fee -in -lieu payment for the seven spaces short equals about $21,000. Planner Robinson reviewed the architectural elements of the proposed building. Robinson added the request includes a Special Review Use (SRU) for the site for a potential restaurant for the first floor of the building. Staff found that the application meets the five criteria for a SRU. Staff recommended approval of the resolution and the SRU with the one condition listed in the resolution. Councilmember Maloney asked if the proposed outdoor dining areas are on public property. Robinson stated the proposed areas are all on private property. If they wanted to expand beyond that a licensing agreement would be needed for use of public space. Councilmember Stolzmann asked if the proposal meets the City's definition of live/work unit. Planner Robinson stated if could meet that definition but it doesn't affect the current application.
