Permitted uses in both the commercial and residential portions of the Takoda GDP are consistent with those uses provided by Section 17.72 the Louisville Municipal Code for the PCZD Zone District. With respect to Planning Area #1, the GDP has been modified to further restrict several uses which are otherwise permitted by the PCZD regulations. Footnotes have been added which provide that auto service, auto refueling stations, and drive -through restaurants shall be reviewed as a Special Review Use. Further, auto sales, major automotive repair including painting and body repair, as well as transportation terminals are listed as excluded uses. Staff is recommending a condition that permitted uses reflected on the PUD be modified consistent with the GDP. Bulk and dimension standards have been revised for Planning Area #3. The purpose of the revision was to create a distinction between the smaller lots (Blocks 4, 5 and 6), and the larger perimeter lots (Blocks 1, 2 and 3) with respect to minimum lot size, lot frontage and building coverage. Blocks 4, 5 and 6 reflect less restrictive standards for defining an eligible building footprint and bulk. A footnote has been added for Planning Area #1 stating that commercial design standards will be submitted in conjunction with the submittal of a final development plan. Staff is recommending a condition that bulk and dimension standards reflected on the PUD be modified consistent with the GDP. PUD Development Plan At the March 20, 2008 Planning Commission meeting the record reflects that the Commission requested that the development incorporate lighting fixtures that sufficiently shield light glare and illumination. Staff has added a condition of approval which requires that lighting fixture cut sheets be submitted for incorporation in the final PUD development plan for Planning Areas #2 and #3 prior to recordation of final documents. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Resolution No. 5, Series 2008 was continued by the Planning Commission at the special meeting held on March 20, 2008, to a special meeting on April 17, 2008. Staff has revised Resolution No. 5, Series 2008 and forwards a recommendation of approval with six conditions. The conditions are characterized as minor and are in place to track document modifications required prior to recordation of the final documents. 3
