Planning Commission Meeting Minutes July 16, 2020 Page 2 of 12 Ritchie discusses the property’s location and background history. She then reviews each criteria and staff’s analysis of the criteria. • Criteria 1: The land to be rezoned was zoned in error and as presently zoned is inconsistent with the policies and goals of the city’s comprehensive plan. o Staff’s Analysis:  There is no evidence that the land was zoned in error. However, the land as presently zoned is inconsistent with the policies and goals of the Framework Plan for the Highway 42 Revitalization Area, which serves as the guide for mixed-use redevelopment in the area and to phase out the existing industrial uses. The city’s comprehensive plan does not allow industrial uses within the area, and policies support a mix of uses and redevelopment consistent with the Framework Plan. • Criteria 2: The area for which rezoning is requested has changed or is changing to such a degree that it is in the public interest to encourage a redevelopment of the area. o Staff’s Analysis:  Staff finds that the area is included within the Highway 42 Revitalization Area, which serves as a guide to accommodate desired change within the area. The area has begun to transition to the desired mixed-use development and mixed use rezoning, including DELO and Coal Creek Station. While the property will not undergo physical redevelopment as a result of the zone change at this time, the property is adjacent to Coal Creek Station, and the zone change will facilitate redevelopment over time consistent with the goals and policies of the Framework Plan and Chapter 17.14 of the LMC. • Criteria 3: The proposed rezoning is necessary to provide land for a community- related use, which was not anticipated at the time of the adoption of the city’s comprehensive plan, and such rezoning will be consistent with the policies and goals of the comprehensive plan. o Staff’s Analysis:  Staff finds that the rezoning is not necessary to provide for a community related use. • Criteria 4: The rezoning would only permit development which, if evaluated as a proposed annexation under the annexation standards and procedures codified in Title 16, would qualify for annexation. o Staff’s Analysis:  Staff finds that the property was previously annexed and is within the corporate city limits of Louisville. Staff Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 7, Series 2020, and recommending approval of an Ordinance to rezone the property from Commercial Business to Commercial Community – Mixed Use.
