SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 47, SERIES 2021 DATE: JULY 20, 2021 PAGE 5 OF 13 ANALYSIS: Final Planned Unit Development The PUD is regulated by the CDDSG, Chapter 17.28 of the municipal code, and the St Louis Parish and Commercial Park General Development Plan, 2nd Amendment. St Louis Parish and Commercial Park General Development Plan, 2nd Amendment Analysis The GDP includes the following development standards that apply to this PUD that override the standards in the CDDSG: Building height. The GDP allows for buildings up to 40 feet in height in Zone 213. The industrial building is located in Zone 213 and is approximately 35-feet tall. CDDSG development standards apply. The GDP requires that the CDDSG apply to all development, including industrial uses. In this case, the IDDSG is not applicable for the industrial building on Lot 1. Dark Sky Lighting City Council included a condition of approval of the GDP related to dark sky lighting design exceeding the minimum requirements in the CDDSG. The application includes full cut-off LED lighting with a warm light temperature and light levels are appropriate for the use. Staff reviewed best practices from sources specializing in dark sky lighting design and finds that this application is appropriate for a rural context and still meets minimum safety and security standards. CDDSG Analysis CDDSG: 1. Site Planning The application complies with the standards in this section, including all minimum setbacks and building and site orientation standards as required in the GDP and CDDSG. The proposal meets the standards for site grading and drainage in the CDDSG. The applicant proposes the outdoor seating areas for employees within the development. CDDSG: 2. Vehicular Circulation and Parking The PUD proposes private drives that can accommodate access for fire and service needs on the property, as well as the anticipated surrounding development on the three undeveloped lots fronting S. 96t" Street. The traffic study reviewed through the GDP contemplated industrial uses on this lot, therefore the transportation network is adequately designed for this PUD. As described above, parking meets the requirements in the CDDSG for the anticipated uses. The remainder of the application meets requirements with respect to circulation and has been reviewed and accepted by the Louisville Fire Department. CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION 7
