RESOLUTION No. 49, SERIES 2010 A RESOLUTION APPROVING A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) TO CONSTRUCT A 50,646 SQUARE FOOT STORAGE FACILITY LOCATED AT 1301 EMPIRE ROAD ON LOT 2 OF THE EMPIRE ROAD SUBDIVISION Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. City Planner McMillan explained Resolution No. 49, Series 2010, would approve a Planned Unit Development to construct a 50,646 SF Storage Facility at 1301 Empire Road. The property is zoned Industrial (I) and subject to the requirements of the Industrial Development Design Standards and Guidelines (IDDSG). The applicant proposes to construct a 50,646 square foot storage facility on the site, consisting of six separate buildings to house approximately 300 storage units; space for portable storage containers on top of the storage buildings, and a 1,640 square foot office. The property is located within the Empire Road Subdivision. The City of Louisville shops building and the waste water treatment plant are located on the eastern border of the applicant's property. The property to the west is occupied by Louisville Glass, Inc. The properties to the east and west of the property are both zoned Industrial. The northern boundary of 1301 Empire is an old C &S railroad right -of -way, which is owned by the City of Louisville. Louisville City limits and the Harney Lastoka Open Space are located to the north of the subject property. The property to the south across Empire Road is located in Boulder County and is owned by the John D. Mayhoffer Trust. The property is located within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated 100 year floodplain. The Louisville Board of Adjustment granted the applicant a floodplain development permit in August of 2008, which authorized the development of a storage facility on the property and requires that all structures be elevated a minimum of two feet above existing site grades. The site will be accessed from two separate locations off of Empire Road. The access points will lead to 10 surface parking spaces located on the southern side of the storage facility. Parking for the individual storage units will be accommodated in the drive aisles internal to the site.
