ORDINANCE NO. 1260, SERIES 1997 - REZONING 152 ACRE PARCEL FROM INDUSTRIAL AND CB TO SF-E - BOULDER COUNTY LAND VENTURE - NORTHEAST CORNER OF DILLON ROAD AND SO. 104TH STREET - 1ST READING - PUBLIC HEARING (PUBL. LSVL. TIMES 5/17/97) Griffiths read by title only Ordinance No. 1260, Series 1997, "An ordinance amending Title 17 of the Louisville Municipal Code entitles "Zoning" by rezoning certain property owned by Boulder County Land Venture." Susan Griffiths, City Attorney, stated that the process for rezoning is a quasi-judicial process. The issue is whether or not the rezoning complies with Louisville Code criteria for rezoning. Davidson called for anyone in the audience who objected to any member of Council voting on Ordinance No. 1260. NONE Davidson stated that this will be split into two sections: 1. Consider the rezoning issue as to whether this property qualifies under the City's charter; 2. If it is found affirmative that it does qualify under the City's charter, Council will consider the development itself.
