LL Cityof Louisville PARKS, RECREATION & OPEN SPACE DEPARTMENT Memorandum To: Recreation Advisory Board (RAB) From: Nathan Mosley, Director of Parks, Recreation and Open Space Date: July 27,2020 Re: Redtail Ridge Development Application Update Purpose The purpose of this memo is to provide an update to RAB on the current status of the Redtail Ridge Development and any relevant information related to the boards role in the development process. Update The application for the Redtail Ridge Development (formally Phillips 66) general development plan (GDP) and Comprehensive Plan Amendment was recently heard by the Planning Commission. That application included land dedications in line with what RAB as well as the Open Space Advisory Board (OSAB) and the Parks and Public Landscaping Advisory Board (PPLAB) provided feedback and direction to the applicant at previous board meetings. The application included roughly 17 acres of park land and 40 acres of open space land as well as several acres for various trails throughout the development and connecting into the regional trail network. At their meeting the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to deny the GDP and Comprehensive Plan Amendments proposed by Brue Baukol Capital Partners. This denial resulted in the applicant and the planning department pausing the Plat phase of the development approval. The Plat process would have been the next step in formalizing the land dedications for parks, open spaces and trails and other public lands within the development. On July 141", City Council voted to approve resolution no. 53 that amended and restates the procedures to be utilized for quasi-judicial hearings at meetings conducted by electronic participation. So this vote will allow development applications like Redtail Ridge to continue on through the process and be conducted electronically. With this decision, the applicant, has decided to take their GDP and Comprehensive Plan application to City Council for consideration. City Council could chose to approve, approve with conditions, remand the application back to Planning Commission and/or other referral boards (not sure if this is true) or deny the application. Their application will be considered at the August 4t" City Council meeting.
