Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 10, 2023 Page 4 of 14 Krantz loved the idea of preserving the historic home and liked the compromise struck by the applicant and the City. She acknowledged the public comments and asks staff to bring up the diagram of the site to alleviate concerns. Baskett was not concerned with the width of the lot and expects that the applicant and architect will do something fitting with the neighborhood. She thinks infill housing development is needed and appropriate. Moline echoes Baskett's comment, saying it is an opportunity to gain one housing unit. He is supportive of the application. Howe both thinks it is beneficial to downtown and is sympathetic to the neighbors' concerns. Based on the site map, he thinks that it is reasonable given the layout of the adjacent homes as long as setbacks are conformed to. The property will be constrained by lot size so the new house will not be huge. He does not anticipate privacy being an issue. He is in support of the application. Brauneis is in favor of the application and suggests that it is not all that inconsistent with the neighborhood. He thinks that the landmarking is significant. Howe moved and Moline seconded a motion to approve Resolution 15, Series 2023. Motion passes unanimously by a roll call vote. B. Louisville Municipal Code Amendment — Concept Plan Review Process — Consideration of Resolution 16, Series 2023, amending Title 17 of the LMC establishing a Concept Plan Review process the City of Louisville. Applicant: City of Louisville Case Planner: Rob Zuccaro, Community Development Director Brauneis opened the public hearing. All notice was met as required and there is no commissioner conflict of interest. Staff Presentation: Zuccaro introduced the proposed code amendment, explaining that a concept plan review process is included on City Council work plan in 2023. He mentioned that one comment was received in the afternoon of this meeting. Zuccaro said that the idea is to add a new step prior to a receiving a full planning application, to provide the opportunity for an early review by City Council, so that the applicant can get clarity on City policies and receive direction from Council before making a full application. This is a way to identify areas of concern and interest, and it will not substitute for the development review process.
