Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 23, 2022 Page 13 of 14 Kostecki says no, it was not part of that. The grass crete paving is counting towards the landscape requirement. Hoefner asks if they would be willing to have the outdoor lighting be a slightly warmer temperature of 2700 or 2200 of what is proposed. Avanti says our lighting engineer based the lighting on Louisville's code requirements. If it is allowed, she does not mind the lightning being changed. Closing Statement by Staff Kay Marchetti reiterates that the grass crete paving is allowed for the landscape requirement. Staff did work with the applicant on the allowed parking spaces in order to take into account the flexibility needed for different uses such as an office. Staff also is in agreement with the applicant of reducing the lighting temperature as suggested earlier. Zuccaro mentions that staff would not allow the grass crete to be the dominant landscaping for the site. Because it is such a small amount, that is why staff has allowed it to count towards the landscape requirement. He also mentions that city code does not have a Kelvin requirement in the design criteria, but staff has encouraged applicants to have 3000 or less Kelvins in order to follow the pending dark sky lighting initiative. Discussion by Commissioners: Moline says he is in support of this proposal and appreciates the applicant's willingness to consider the lighting change. He is unsure if the commission needs to add that change as a condition during the motion. Howe says he agrees with Commissioner Moline. This has been a successful design in the past. He thinks they should add a condition about the change in lighting to the motion. Brauneis says he does not think that condition should be made. The applicant has made it aware that she will look into it. City Council will then address the lighting change and if they choose to add it as a condition, they can do so at that time. He asks the commissioners if they are okay without adding the condition. Moline says he is fine with not adding the condition. Brauneis mentions they should hold off on the condition because the dark sky lighting is an initiative that has not been adopted yet. Hoefner mentions he does not see the need for a condition. Howe moves and Moline seconds a motion to approve Resolution 10, Series 2022. Motion passes unanimously by a roll call vote. None is heard. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS STAFF COMMENTS Zuccaro mentions that the fence code exceptions and the inclusionary housing agenda items are is still scheduled for the July 14 meeting but the Redtail item has been postponed. Howe asks staff if there is legal action that needs to take place for the fence agenda item since that involves many HOA's.
