Cityof Department of Planning and Building Safety Louisville 749 Main Street • Louisville CO 80027. 303.335.4592 • www.louisvilleco.gov COLORADO • SINGE 187S To: Parks and Public Landscaping Advisory Board From: Department of Planning and Building Safety Subject: Nawatny Ridge GDP and Land Dedication Review Date: December 5, 2019 Summary The applicant, Brue Baukol Capital Partners, proposes an amendment to the ConocoPhillips Campus General Development Plan (GDP) (see Attachment 1). A GDP provides a general land use plan, circulation plan and supplementary development standards for properties zoned Planned Community Zone District (PCZD). The GDP provides a master development concept for the property and sets up a property for subsequent City approvals of subdivision plats and Planned Unit Development site plans for each development within the master plan area. The purpose of the PCZD zoning is to provide for "contemporary land planning principles and coordinated community design." LMC Sec. 17.72.010. The purpose of the planned community zone district is to encourage, preserve and improve the health, safety and general welfare of the people of the city by encouraging the use of contemporary land planning principles and coordinated community design. The planned community zone district is created in recognition of the economic and cultural advantages that will accrue to the residents of an integrated, planned community development of sufficient size to provide related areas for various housing types, retail and service activities, recreation, schools and public facilities, and other uses of land. The 2010 ConocoPhillips Campus GDP covers approximately 391 acres and outlined a general access plan; limited maximum building density to a gross Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.15 (approx. 2.5M sq. ft.); included a list of permitted land uses to support a ConcoPhillips research and training campus; provided parking standards; and set an intent for building heights between 65' and 95' (see Attachment 2). The proposed 1st Amendment to the ConocoPhillips Campus GDP (Nawatny Ridge GDP) includes an updated access plan; expands allowed land uses (a 1,500 unit senior living community in Area A, and a mix of office and commercial uses in Areas B, C and D); increases allowed gross FAR to 0.38 (6.4M sq. ft.); updates parking standards; and states an intent to allow building heights up to 75'. The Nawatny Ridge GDP also includes a proposal for dedication of park and open space lands.
