LMC Section 17.28.250 (Expedited PUD) sets forth a procedure where an applicant for a new PUD can request to go straight to final PUD. To be eligible for expedited PUD the subject property and proposal must be: • Less than seven acres; • Previously subdivided; • No more than one building and principal use; • Governed by a general development plan in the planned community district; and • Subject to "covenants of record addressing the use and development of the property." The purpose of expedited review is not clearly stated or documented in City archives. The current process only applies to specific areas of Louisville and for specific types of projects that tend to have comparably minor impacts. PROPOSAL: The proposed changes update the types of projects eligible for expedited PUD review and that can go straight to final subdivision plat review. The proposed changes to Title 16 and 17 address the expedited PUD process, subdivision process, and subdivision definitions as follows: Regarding the Expedited PUD Process: • Maintain the size requirement of less than seven acres with changes to clarify the language. • Maintain the requirement that the property has been previously subdivided but add a requirement that any new platting must be within the minor subdivision thresholds, coupled with targeted changes to the minor subdivision section (see subdivision plat bullet points below). • Eliminate the following eligibility requirements: o That PUDs must be in an approved general development plan in the planned community district. o That they must be limited to one land use and one building. o That they must be subject to covenants of record addressing the use and development of the property. • Add the requirement that the project will not have "material" changes in the type of public improvements, easements, arrangement of streets, open space, or utilities. This is parallel to the proposed language in LMC Sec. 16.12.110 (subdivisions) to address those PUD applications and new subdivisions that may have impactful changes but are previously platted and are under seven acres. 2
