SUMMARY: The applicant, United Properties, on behalf of the three owners (Adrian Games, Ascent Community Church, and The Archdiocese of Denver — St. Louis), request approval of a preliminary and final Planned Unit Development to allow construction of a 100,000 sf industrial building, a preliminary and final Planned Unit Development and Special Review Use to allow a 3,500 sf convenience store and auto fueling station, and a final plat to create 2 parcels, 4 lots, and 2 outlots. Staff is presenting this as a concurrent preliminary and final Planned Unit Development at the request of the applicant. BACKGROUND: The St. Louis Parish and Commercial Park property is approximately 51.6 acres in size and located northeast of the Dillon Road and S. 96th Street intersection. To the east is BNSF Rail Road right of way and the Colorado Technological Center. To the west and southwest are the Warembourg and Admor Open Spaces, which are conservation properties owned jointly by Boulder County and City of Louisville. To the south is property in unincorporated Boulder County zoned Agriculture and designated as a Preservation Area through Intergovernmental Agreements with limited residential and agricultural development. Adrian Games owns the northernmost 5.39 acre parcel, Ascent Community Church owns the center 13.26 acre parcel, and the Archdiocese of Denver -St. Louis owns the southernmost 32.75 acre parcel. The applicant, United Properties, is under contract tc purchase the Ascent parcel. The City separately annexed each property between the time periods of July 1996 and February 1997. Each property was zoned Agriculture when annexed. The City subsequently approved a rezoning to Planned Community Zone District (PZCD) and the St. Louis Parish and Commercial Park GDP on September 21, 2004, which included the three properties described above. Adrian Games and the Denver Archdiocese were owners at the time of this original approval, while the center parcel was sold a number of times to different entities. City code requires that a PCZD zoned property be under single ownership and at least 30 acres in size. The City waived the requirement for single ownership with an agreement among the three property owners that they would act as a single developer of the property. On October 17, 2017, the City approved the first amendment to the St Louis Parish and Commercial Park GDP. This amendment allowed religious institutions as a use -by -right in Zone 2 rather than by Special Review. Following this approval, the property owners' received approval of a preliminary plat and preliminary Planned Unit Development on September 4, 2018 to establish the intent for 4 lots on the Ascent property; 2 parcels, one each on the Games and Archdiocese properties. The PUD included the construction of a 52,000 sf church and associated site improvements. Following this approval, Ascent Church made application for a final plat and final PUD to follow through with the intent of the preliminary approvals. These applications were never finalized or considered before Planning Commission and City Council.
