Planning Commission Meeting Minutes November 9, 2017 Page 4 of 7 Carroll Neehan 501 Eisenhower Drive, Louisville, CO asked if rezoning would allow the City to sell part of the property off to developers. Ritchie stated that it would not, as selling the property would require a vote from residents as required in the City Charter. Zuccaro stated that City Charter prevented any sale or lease of any percent of the property without going to a vote to city residents. Neehan asked what the advantage was of rezoning Zuccaro responded that it was an extra layer of protection for open space land so that the designation and the zoning matched. He confirmed that selling the land was not part of the proposal. Pritchard asked for questions of staff. Seeing none, he requested a summary. Ritchie summarized that the Commission was considering a request to rezone certain city - owned property from various other zone districts to the Open Space Zone District. Pritchard asked the Commission for comments. Hsu, Sheets, Moline, and Rice voiced their support. Hsu and Rice noted that only one criterion needed to be met and that everyone agreed that criterion 2 was met at the least. Rice added that rezoning will make it even more difficult to change this land from open space. Moline moved to approve Resolution 23, Series 2017 to rezone certain city -owned property from various other zone districts to the Open Space Zone District and Sheets seconded. Roll call vote. Motion passed unanimously. 808 Main: A request for a Final PUD to allow the construction of a two-story rear addition at 808 Main Street (PUD-035-2017.) • Applicant: Andy Johnson • Owner: 808 Main LLC • Case Manager: Lisa Ritchie, Associate Planner Pritchard asked for disclosures from the Commission. Seeing none, he requested the staff presentation. Ritchie presented the Planned Unit Development, which consisted of a two-story addition to the rear of the building and the construction of a new trash receptacle. Applicant proposes to keep the two existing parking lots and the PUD does not trigger requirements for additional parking spaces. The building would use off-white stucco and have a steel door painted to match the wall. Accents match the rustic character of the building. There would also be a mechanical screen on the roof. All changes comply with height, setback, and development standards and comply with Downtown Louisville Handbook and Zoning Regulations. Staff finds that application complies with Downtown Louisville Handbook for additions to buildings and all the standards with respect to urban, site design, architectural details, and criteria for historic buildings. Ritchie noted that staff did not review the building as -is for compliance, they only considered the proposed building. The application also complies with Municipal Code 17.28.120. Staff recommends approval of Resolution 22, Series 2017 for a final PUD to allow the construction of two-story rear addition at 808 Main Street.
