City Attorney Light read Ordinance PJo. 1535, Series 2008. Mayor Sisk opened the public hearing and requested a Staff presentation. Planning Director Wood explained the applicant/owner, Aggregate Industries West Central Region, Inc., represented by Mr. Kent Bagley, has initiated a voluntary request to rezone the subject property from the City of Louisville Industrial (I) to City of Louisville MixE:d Use Residential (MU-R). The northerly portion of the parcel (north of Short ;street) was platted in 1959 as part of the Industrial Area Subdivision. The 4.9~ acre parcel is part of the Highway 42 Revitalization area and is currently occupied by a concrete batch plant and associated building structures. The plant has operated under different ownership from 1963 to 2000. Over the past few years Aggregate Industries has transferred their operations to their E3roomfield facility. The applicant/owner is not petitioning for the entitlement of a PUD development plan. The application materials characterize the lack of a PUD development plan as part of the rezoning as a waiver cif the code requirement. While it is not their intent to submit a redevelopment plan, they have indicated such future redevelopment will be in full compliance with the provisions and design standards of the MU-R District. The proposed rezoning is necessary in order to provide land for a community related use, which was not anticipatf:d at the time of the adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Such rezoning will be consistent with the policies and goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The Zoning Agreement specifies all Future development will comply with adopted zoning, subdivision, and applicable design standards at the time of development. Further prior to the development of the property, the entire parcel shall be replatted in accordance with the subdivision ordinance. Staff recommended the Ordinance not be signed or published until the applicant has first executed and returned the Zoning Agreement. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on April 10, 2008 and recommends approval of the MU-R rezoning without conditions. APPLICANT PRESENTATION
