ORDINANCE NO. 1455, SERIES 2004 - AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE REZONING OF THREE ADJACENT BUT SEPARATELY OWNED PARCELS AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF DILLON ROAD AND SOUTH 96TM STREET FROM AGRICULTURE (A) TO PLANNED COMMUNITY ZONED DISTRICT (PCZD-C) 2nd reading - public hearing - (advertised Daily Camera September 11, 2004) Mayor Sisk requested a City Attorney introduction. City Attorney Sam Light read Ordinance No. 1455, Series 2004. Mayor Sisk reopened the public hearing and requested a Staff Presentation. Planning Director Paul Wood Staff Presentation: The applicants, the St. Louis Catholic Parish (represented by Rev. G. Timothy Gaines), Adrian Games, and Richard and Mary Johnson are jointly requesting approval of the St. Louis Parish and Louisville Commercial Park General Development Plan (GDP). The request includes rezoning the subject parcel from City of Louisville Agriculture to Planned Community Zone District - Commercial (PCZD-C). The total annexation acreage is 53.95. The revised General Development Plan reflects three zones of development. The GDP specifies design and building bulk standards for each sub-zone. 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 parallel to S. 96th Street. Areas of greater intensity are to the east. Zone I is approximately 16.2 acres and is designated for the church and school campus. Zone II is approximately 31.8 acres and Zone III is approximately 3.4 acres and 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 more restrictive maximum FAR of 0.17. The purpose of the PCZD Zoning 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 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 Commission's five conditions have been met and incorporated into the PCZD Agreement. 3
