SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 47, SERIES 2021 DATE: JULY 20, 2021 PAGE 7 OF 13 CDDSG: 8. Exterior Site Lighting As described in the GDP analysis, the application exceeds the minimum standards for lighting in the CDDSG and complies with the condition of approval for Dark Sky best practices in the GDP. Waiver Compliance with 17.28.110 Section 17.28.110 of the Louisville Municipal Code sets forth the PUD waiver process and criteria. The application includes the following waiver requests: • CDDSG 5A.C. requirement for 25% of the building perimeter to be landscaped. The geotechnical engineer recommends that water use immediately adjacent to the building foundation be minimized to the greatest extent feasible. Staff finds that while drip irrigation can accommodate landscape areas in a manner that may not negatively impact foundations, additional landscaping at the site entry areas is an improved design and sufficiently offsets the impact. Staff supports this request. CDDSG 5.1.E.3. requirement for street tree placement at 20-feet on center for streets with attached sidewalks. This applies to the east side of the internal north - south private drive fronting Lot 1. The application includes the required trees within the adjacent landscape islands that will shade portions of the sidewalk, as well as large shrubs and ornamental grasses within the landscape area for interest and color. The benefit of the 13 relocated trees along the eastern property line elevates the overall design of the site by improving the trail experience and screening of the eastern elevation and detention pond. Staff supports this request. Compliance with Section 17.28.120 Section 17.28.120 of the Louisville Municipal Code lists 28 criteria for PUDs that must be satisfied or found not applicable in order to approve a PUD. Analysis and staff's recommended finding of each criterion is provided in the attached appendix.

Whether the plat conforms to all of the requirements of this title; The application for St. Louis Parish and Boulder Innovation Campus Filing No. 2 conforms in all respects to the requirements of Title 16 of the Louisville Municipal Code. 2.
