Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />July 16, 2020 <br />Page 3 of 12 <br /> <br />Moline says that regarding the retail marijuana map shown by staff, the three most <br />southwestern sites do not meet the overlapping of the 1500 ft buffer because they were <br />in existence prior to the institution of this recent regulation, correct? <br /> <br />Ritchie says that is correct. <br /> <br />Brauneis mentions that there is no façade changes currently proposed. It would seem <br />to me that the intent of pushing this to mixed-use is to get rid of the light industrial <br />usage. He says that he understands that it is grandfathered in as it currently exists but <br />does not understand that they are not really getting a motion towards the mixed-use that <br />the city wants if this were to be approved. <br /> <br />Ritchie says that the code does not require re-development upon change of use. It just <br />requires the re-zone to this. It does not require re-development consistent with the <br />mixed-use standards. That being said, once the property is rezoned, any new <br />development or re-development would have to be in alignment. <br /> <br />Brauneis asks why staff’s memo focuses on that there will be no changes to the <br />facade. <br /> <br />Ritchie says she wanted planning commission to understand that staff is not talking <br />about re-development at this time. <br /> <br />Brauneis asks for confirmation that moving this rezoning will help the alignment better <br />with whatever may happen to the future of the property. <br /> <br />Ritchie says that is correct. Altering the auto body repair use will further the goals of the <br />mixed use zone district. <br /> <br />Howe asks that in regards to the retail marijuana map shown by staff, how far do the <br />marijuana retail shops have to stay between one other. <br /> <br />Ritchie says that have to be 1500 ft from one other. <br /> <br />Howe states that the map shows a red zone from the Louisville middle school. How far <br />out of that red zone are we? <br /> <br />Ritchie says probably from the adjacent property. <br /> <br />Howe asks how many marijuana based developments or applications are in the <br />process. <br /> <br />Ritchie says that this is the final one that planning commission would be considering. <br />The three along Dillon Rd and McCaslin Blvd are all operating and did not require <br />PUDs. There is also one at Delo Plaza. This is it as long as these six operators remain <br />in good standing with their licenses. <br /> <br />Williams states that the maximum is six that are allowed to be in the city. <br />
