RESOLUTION NO. 22, SERIES 2004 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING A SPECIAL REVIEW USE AND AMENDED FINAL PUD FOR A 66-UNIT RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM PROJECT ON LOT 1, CENTENNIAL PAVILION SUBDIVISION (CENTENNIAL PAVILION LOFTS) - public hearing (advertised Daily Camera 4/4/04) Mayor Sisk called for Staff presentation. Planning Director Paul Wood reviewed the background of the Centennial Pavilion subdivision and development located at the northwest comer of McCaslin Blvd. and Century Dr. The property is zoned Community Commercial (CC), which allows a range of commercial uses including retail, restaurants, offices and personal services. A mixed commercial development was approved as a subdivision and PUD in December 2001. That approval authorized 44,000 SF of retail commercial in several structures and a 30,000 SF office building. The retail buildings have since been constructed and are partially occupied. The office building has not been built. Wood explained the owner/developer of the property is requesting an amendment to the PUD as well as a special review use (SRU) approval to authorize 66 units of residential condominiums to replace the 30,000 SF office building approved for the southwest comer of the site. Multi-family uses require review and approval as an SRU application in a CC zoning district. He explained the Planning Commission held two public hearings on the application and forwards a recommendation of approval, with the condition the applicant shall pay an additional public use dedication fee to be based on the difference between 12 and 15 percent dedication requirement for this quadrant of the property. Fee shall be established prior to recording of the PUD/SRU plans and shall be paid prior to the issuance of the first building permit for any residential units on this property. Wood summarized the application and noted the proposal is subject to review against the City's Commercial Development Design Standards and Guidelines (CDDSG). The condominiums are proposed at the southwest comer of the project. Sixty-six (66) units are proposed in two, three -story structures. The number of units being proposed is based on the CC zoning district regulations, which allow a maximum of 1 dwelling unit per 1,750 SF of lot area. Fifty-four (54) 1225 SF units are proposed as two bedroom units. Twelve (12) 900 SF one-bedroom units are also included. All units have exterior patios or balconies, washer/dryer, and two garage parking spaces. Wood stated the Planning Commission devoted a great amount of time reviewing the five Special Review Use Criteria as outlined by the Louisville Municipal Code Section
