<br />ORDINANCE No. 1289 - SERIES 1998 - AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING THE SITE <br />SELECTION OF ARTERIAL HIGHWAYS AS AN ACTIVITY OF STATE INTEREST; <br />DESIGNATING AREAS AROUND ARTERIAL HIGHWAY INTERCHANGES AS <br />AREAS OF STATE INTEREST; ADOPTING REGULATIONS FOR THE <br />ADMINISTRATION OF SUCH AREAS AND ACTIVITIES OF STATE INTEREST; <br />AND AMENDING CHAPTER 17.32 OF THE LOUISVILLE MUNICIPAL CODE TO <br />ADOPT AMENDED REGULATIONS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF AREAS AND <br />ACTIVITIES OF STATE INTEREST, PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 65.1 OF TITLE 24, <br />COLORADO REVISED STATUTES <br /> <br />Davidson called for City Attorney introduction. <br /> <br />\ . <br /> <br />Sam Light, City Attorney, read by title only Ordinance No. 1289, Series 1998 - An Ordinance <br />Designating the Site Selection of Art~:rial Highways as an Activity of State Interest; Designating <br />Areas Around Arterial Highway Interchanges as Areas of State Interest; Adopting Regulations for <br />the Administration of Such Areas and Activities of State Interest; and Amending Chaptet 17.32 of <br />the Louisville Municipal Code to Adopt Amended Regulations for the Administration of Areas and <br />Activities of State Interest, Pursuant to Article 65.1 of Title 24, Colorado Revised Statutes. <br /> <br />Light explained that adoption of regulations under House Bill 1041 provides authority to require <br />permits for development in designated areas of state interest and to require permits prior to <br />undertaking any activity of state interest. The statute sets minimal criteria for the issuance or denial <br />of a permit and the first draft of the ordinance is based upon that limited criteria. He suggested that <br />Council consider proposing additional criteria, which they are authorized to do under the statute. <br />. <br /> <br />Howard agreed. <br /> <br />Mayer agreed with Howard and suggested that language defining how the permits will be granted <br />also be included. <br /> <br />Light replied that in the proposed draft, staff is attempting to make the process for a permit under <br />House Bill 1041 track in the PUD requirement. This would allow processing a PUD and a 1041 <br />application at the same time. Light stated that one of the areas that would be designated a state <br />interest is areas around arterial interchanges. The current ordinance as drafted would potentially <br />impact development around the McCaslin Boulevard interchange and Highway 36. He requested <br />Council direction on whether they would like to designate that area as well or make a designation <br />for areas further east on Highway 36. <br /> <br />Mayer questioned how uniform the regulations would need to be. <br /> <br />Light replied that the criteria for a 1041 permit should be fairly standard for the areas that they <br />regulate. Authority to regulate for the McCaslin Boulevard interchange currently exists in the PUD <br />statutes. <br /> <br />18 <br />
