Louisville City Council Meeting September 7, 2004 Page 10 of 12 Louisville. The organization of these planning areas has been organized along 'zones of intensity or transition' rather than strictly along parcel ownership boundaries. Planning area zones are organized in 'layers', which are generally parallel to S. 96th Street and step back to the east with areas of greater intensity. Zone I is designated for the church and school campus. Zones II and III have an overall FAR of 0.20, or a build out of approximately 306,531 SF, of which 70,000 SF would primarily be retail, office and other commercial uses, Zone 2A, which is adjacent and parallel to S. 96th Street has a maximum FAR of 0.17 and has a more restrictive FAR. Buildings in Zone 2A are limited to one story construction, a 60' setback, and a maximum building height of 25'. Access and Circulation Traffic Impact: The property has a total of four access points: A full turning movement on Dillon Road; on S. 96th Street a right-in / right-out, a full turning movement, and a 3/4 turning movement. While the access points on S. 96th Street are relatively fixed, the internal road system is conceptual. Cross-sections reflect a standard public right-of-way dedication to accommodate internal access. The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal three times: April, June and July of 2004. The concerns of the Commissioners related to the timing of the request relative to the update of the Citywide Comprehensive Plan, the predominantly commercial nature of the rezoning request, and the issue of traffic. The applicant submitted a revised traffic plan in May of 2004, which reflects timeframes of 2004, 2010, and 2025 and relates to site-generated traffic, and level of service. PCZD Zoning Agreement: The purpose of the agreement would specify Owner responsibility for assuming full obligations as a Subdivider in securing a guarantee for and the installation of required public improvements, as well as meeting the full publiC use dedication requirement. The Planning Commission directed that the listing of permitted uses in the GDP be revised to reflect a more focused approach in coordinating uses with the intended scale of development on the GDP. The Planning Commission's five conditions have been met and incorporated into the PCZD Agreement. Mayor Sisk opened the public hearing and requested an applicant presentation. Linda L. Bishop, 1300 S. Steele Street, Denver, CO, Attorney and Director of Real Estate for the Archdiocese of Denver, introduced Father Tim Gaines, of the St. Louis Parrish, Richard and Mary Johnson, and noted Adrian Games was not in attendance. She reviewed the history of the St. Louis Parish, the history of the subject property and addressed the issue of rezoning. She explained the City requested that the Archdiocese coordinate with the adjoining owners to present a more comprehensive package. She stated through a cooperative effort of all the parties the goal was accomplished. She noted the Archdiocese is pleased with the proposal, and she expressed hope that the Council would likewise be pleased. Richard Johnson, 1318 S. 96th Street, Louisville, CO, stated he has owned the property just north of the Archdiocese property since 1990, and in 1996, the property was annexed to the City of Louisville. He noted a clause in the annexation agreement stipulates their 10
