Located at southwest corner of South Boulder Road and Highway 42. <br />It incorporates most of the land but leaves out Union Jack Liquor, Fordyce Auto Center, <br />and Louisville Car Wash. It includes the strip retail buildings, Louisville Cyclery building, <br />and all vacant land. Precision Pour coffee shop is excluded because it sits on its own <br />small parcel. <br />PROJECT. There are a few changes from the preliminary and mostly complies with what <br />was proposed in the preliminary. The residential number and layout stays the same.

When the preliminary went through, this property was rezoned in compliance <br />with the Highway 42 Revitalization Plan. The property is zoned a mix of commercial <br />community (CC), mixed -use residential (MU-R), residential medium density (RM). The <br />proposal complies with the existing zoning as approved three years ago. It was <br />preliminary approved in the summer of 2013. The applicant has one year to submit for <br />final approval, which the applicants did in January 2014. There were issues to work out. <br />It has been almost three years since preliminary approval. <br />PLAT. All residential units are proposed to be on individual lots. <br />o Relocated Cannon Circle - The applicant proposes to relocate Cannon Circle <br />intersection further south away from Highway 42. CDOT has approved allowance <br />for signal. Applicants propose to install a signal. The intersection would be <br />designed so it will function for both this property and access for Harney-Lastoka <br />property. <br />o Truck Only Access - Fordyce Auto Center needs truck access which is currently <br />off the existing Cannon Circle. Applicants have worked with the property owner <br />and CDOT to come up with a solution that will allow a right -in, right -out truck <br />access, signed Truck Access Only. It will not be for customers, just trucks serving <br />Fordyce Auto. <br />o South Alley Improvement — Applicants propose to improve and pave the alley. It <br />currently gets access from Highway 42. It will be closed off at Highway 42 and <br />there will be an access onto the new Cannon Circle. <br />o Front Street Connection — Issue to be worked out after preliminary is getting <br />access to the new Front Street connection. The applicants were unable to work <br />out a deal with the property owners so they have redesigned the alley to go <br />around it. It would be a private alley for the development. Given the fact that it will <br />be closed off on the east side at Highway 42 and private on the west side, the <br />
