SUMMARY: The applicant requests approval of the tenth amendment to the Centennial Valley General Development Plan (GDP), to allow a private school use at 168 Centennial Parkway. To enable a private school use in the building at 168 Centennial Parkway, the lots on which the building sits (Lots 3 and 4) would be combined to create Parcel G-3, a 4.15-acre area which is currently part of Parcel G. The allowed uses on this parcel would change from Research/Office to Research/Office/Private School. BACKGROUND: This site is governed by a GDP approved in 2015 and a Planned Unit Development (PUD) approved in 2016. The proposed Parcel G-3 is currently part of Parcel G in the Centennial Valley GDP and zoned PCZD-C. The Centennial Valley area was annexed and initially zoned with a GDP in 1979 and has had a number of amendments to date. The most recent updates in 2015 included increasing the overall retail square footage to accommodate development in Parcel H and subdividing Parcel G to accommodate a use change on a portion now designated as Parcel G2 (southeast of the proposed Parcel G-3). A PUD for the site was approved in 2016, allowing for the development of a 59,629 square -foot building designated for office use, with 231 parking stalls. Existing tenants include medical and professional offices. PROPOSAL: The applicant requests approval of the tenth amendment to the Centennial Valley GDP to allow a private school use at 168 Centennial Parkway. To allow the additional use, the amendment would create a new parcel to encompass the building at 168 Centennial Parkway with the new use tied to the parcel. The proposal requires a GDP amendment because Section 17.72 of the Louisville Municipal Code (LMC), which lists uses allowed by right and through an SRU in Planned Community Zone Districts, does not mention private schools. Any restrictions from or additions to the list in 17.72 require specification on a GDP or a GDP amendment. Figure 1: 2016 PUD for 168 Centennial Parkway Application materials include a GDP Amendment, a Development Agreement, and a Written Narrative. The GDP Amendment establishes the new parcel (including its size and allowed uses) on the map and in the use table. It also includes Note (1), which references the Development Agreements, and Note (2), which references a GDP Amendment from 2020 that governs development on Parcel O. Note (2) adds clarity so that the proposed GDP Amendment captures all of the relevant changes to Centennial Centennial Valley GDP Amendment Page 2 of 12 PC — December 9, 2021
