Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 8, 2023 Page 2of6 Howe made a motion to continue the item to the July 13 hearing and Commissioner Choi seconded. Motion carried by voice vote. New Business — Public Hearing Items A. Establishment of Tennis and Pickleball Facility Parking Ratios — Consideration of a resolution establishing parking ratios for tennis and pickleball facilities. (Resolution 12, Series 2023) Applicant: City of Louisville Case Planner: Rob Zuccaro, Director of Community Development Commissioner Baskett joined the meeting. There is no commissioner conflict of interest. Staff Presentation: Zuccaro stated that this item was not a public hearing. It was a resolution to establish parking standards for a use that was not currently contemplated in the Louisville Municipal Code (LMC). The LMC allows a standard to be created by the Director and Planning Commission in this case. The issue arose during a development review process for an application that included pickleball courts. Zuccaro then described the proposed standards and how staff came to their recommendations, which were as follows: 1. For indoor and outdoor courts, four spaces per court. No additional spaces shall be required for areas dedicated to ancillary indoor facility space such as foyers, vestibules, hallways, warmup areas, locker rooms and lavatories. 2. For designated spectator areas and event spaces with fixed seating, one space per three fixed seats. 3. For designated spectator areas and event spaces without fixed seating, one space per 21 square feet of seating area. 4. For affiliated indoor spaces within a facility, such as retail, office or restaurant uses, the parking ratio designated for such use shall be based on the standards outlined in the Commercial Development Design Standards and Guidelines (CDDSG), or the Louisville Municipal Code Sec. 17.20.020 if the use is not specified in the CDDSG. Commissioner Questions of Staff & Discussion: Choi asked if the spaces would be in addition. Zuccaro replied that was correct, but maybe it was missing to say that the spaces were cumulative. The LMC said that when you have multiple uses in a building, you sum all of those uses together. He noted that #4 covered the cumulative requirement.
