Wall Signs: • IDDSG allows 15 SF wall signs, not to total more than 80 SF. • Applicant is proposing 40 SF signs not to total more than 120 SF. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends Planning Commission move to approve Louisville Corporate Campus at CTC. Resolution 31, Series 2015, with the following conditions: 1. Staff requests the applicant redesign the monument signs to comply with the IDDSG in terms of height. The modification shall be reflected on the PUD prior to submittal to City Council. 2. The applicant shall provide an appraisal of the property to determine the 12% public land dedication amount at time of the drafting of the subdivision agreement. 3. Staff requests the applicant comply with the fire hydrant placement in Alternative 1, established by the Fire Marshall, prior to City Council submittal. 4. The applicant is required to provide a shared parking agreement for Lot 3 if Lot 3 develops an exclusive office use prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for a tenant finish. 5. The applicant must comply with the August 26, 2015 Public Works memo prior to recordation. Commission Questions of Staff.- Moline asks about approving something that has two alternatives. I want to clarify that we are not being asked to pick one alternative, just to move them both forward. McCartney says there is nothing in our code that prohibits this request. It is added work for Staff and we review it as if it is two submittals, but they can only record one. Brauneis says I find this a tremendously flexible way of allowing it to proceed forward. As they market the property, it provides them the opportunity to advertise that there are options available that have been conditionally approved. Regarding the shared parking agreement, the language just says "shared parking agreement". Does that imply that Building 3 will have access to all parking available elsewhere? How does 700 feet become part of it? McCartney says access to parking within 700 feet of the property. Staff would draft that in the agreement. At Building 3, they have 448 spaces and would need to find additional spaces if the building is all office. They can look at Lot 1 and Lot 2 which would be within 700 feet of their property boundaries. Russ says that would trigger a building permit. The applicant will come in with the lot at tenant finish and when Staff knows the use, we do parking calculations. They would not be allowed to issue a CO until we have the parking agreement secured. Rice says my question is procedural. The code allows us to simultaneously approve a plat and a PUD on the same piece of property, but two different ones? If it's not prohibited, that means we can do it? McCartney says there is nothing that prohibits it. It doesn't specify amount or number. Staff sees that the applicant is providing options and carrying forward options. We review it as if it is two separate submittals within the same application. By the time they get to recordation, they would choose. They cannot record both.
