In 2010, the City rezoned the property to PCZD-C and approved the ConocoPhillips Campus GDP, a Zoning Agreement, Preliminary Subdivision Plat, and Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the ConocoPhillips development. The GDP included an approximately 2.5 million sq. ft. development cap, set allowed land uses, setbacks, parking standards, and required a minimum public land dedication of 12%, matching the minimum code requirement. ConocoPhillips later abandoned its development plans and sold the property. The Preliminary Subdivision Plat, and Preliminary PUD were never finalized and have since expired. ■ 2010 — ConocoPhillips Campus GDP In 2024, the City approved a final plat for the Redtail Ridge development, with the intent to develop the property consistent with the standards set by the ConocoPhillips Campus GDP. The plat approval included dedication of 139 acres of public use lands, created multiple development parcels, dedication of public road rights of way, including an extension of Campus Drive, an agreement for expansion of the City's wastewater treatment plant, and public utility and access easements. ■ 2024 — Redtail Ridge, Filing No. 1 Ordinance No. 1996, Series 2025 On July 8, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1896, Series 2025, which amended Section 17.72.190 of the Louisville Municipal Code regarding Yard and Bulk requirements for GDPs.

Prior to this code amendment, GDPs were prohibited from establishing Yard and Bulk standards that were inconsistent with certain underlying zoning requirements. Deviations to the Yard and Bulk standards could only be approved through the waiver process at the time of PUD approval. This was found to be inconsistent with the intent of GDPs to create custom zoning standards for the district that will define the type and character of the development. The limitation also led to GDPs that did not provide the landowner clear guidance on the desired development standards and uncertainty in the development review process. Under the new code language, a GDP amendment can set the building height limits as a zoning standard based on the desired character for the district. The proposed amendment to the ConcoPhillips Campus GDP would set specific building height and building massing standards specific to Lot 1, Block 2 of the Redtail Ridge development. The remainder of the development would be subject the Yard and Bulk standards noted on the original GDP PROPOSAL: Avista Adventist Hospital GDP The proposal includes reducing the maximum allowed building area on the Avista Adventist Hospital GDP and is intended to serve as a "density swap" where the unused development area is transferred to the ConocoPhillips Campus GDP.
