Planning Commission Staff Report March 10, 2016 The subject property was platted as one lot as part of the original North End plat. The applicant is requesting a replat to include necessary easements. The size, location, and number of lots is not changing. The majority of the easements are for utilities. The Public Works department has requested a few minor modifications to the easements before recordation, as described in the attached memo. Public Land Dedication When the North End subdivision was originally platted, the developer dedicated 25.3 percent of the land as public land dedication (PLD). According to Chapter 16.12 of the Louisville Municipal Code (LMC), commercially zoned properties require a 12% PLD, while residentially zoned properties requires a 15% PLD. The applicant has already exceeded the PLD requirement, so no additional PLD is required with a change in allowed land uses. Final PUD Land Use The applicant is requesting 65 residential units, 22,250 SF of retail/restaurant space, and 17,750 SF of office space in seven buildings. Twenty-seven of the proposed residential units would be age -restricted to those 55 years old and older. The requested uses comply with the proposed amended GDP, which would control the allowed uses on the site. Site Plan The requested site has been designed as a walkable mixed use environment where the development provides common entries accessible to shared parking and internal circulation. There are three primary access points proposed: South Boulder Road (right - in, right -out); Blue Star Lane (full movement); and Hecla Way (full movement). 6
