Planning Commission Meeting Minutes October 13, 2022 Page 7 of 13 Staff's analysis finds that the automotive service station use is permitted in Parcel L1 of the Centennial Valley GDP. The latest applicable GDP from August 2015 differs to Section 17.7.2.090 of the Municipal Code for allowed uses. Automotive service stations are listed as an allowed use, subject to the prescribed performance and design standards in Section 17.72.130. Staff also finds that the application is compliant with the PUD criteria in Section 17.28.120 of the Municipal Code, and the previously mentioned Automotive Service Station Development Standards in Sec. 17.72.130. The project is compliant with the requirements in the CDDSG as well. Staff Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 14, Series 2022 to construct a new 2,824 square -foot automotive service station and convenience store with eight pump fueling stations and canopy at 525 S McCaslin Blvd. Staff is adding the condition that prior to the City Council public hearing, the applicant shall amend the PUD to include the required EV installed, EV capable, and EV ready parking space designation pursuant to Section 17.20.170 of the Louisville Municipal Code. Commissioner Questions of Staff. Hoefner says the PUD amendment in front of us, how do we view that in light of that this is an allowed use? Zuccaro says the PUD does not define the use.

Krantz asks if staff can show what the allowed uses are in the GDP. She also asks for an analysis on the McCaslin Small Area Plan and how this fits into that. Hassan shows the allowed uses based on the GDP. Zuccaro says if you look at the map for L1, it says commercial/retail. Under Section 17.72.12, it lists different uses that fall under a commercial use. He reads that section of code and how it mentions a service station. Krantz asks what parcel H is zoned. Hassan says that is also commercial/retail. Applicant Presentation: Jeff Weeder, Galloway US Weeder begins his presentation giving the context of the location.
