Planning Commission <br />Staff Report <br />May 10, 2018 <br />There are 27 subdivisions, along with a handful of replats and smaller subdivisions, with <br />properties zoned RE. The City platted these areas between 1959 (Scenic Heights) and <br />1995 (Centennial 11). There are approximately 1,785 residential properties with RE <br />zoning. Generally, the City platted subdivisions that do not have accompanying PUDs, <br />including Louisville North, Ridgeview and Continental Estates, meeting the minimum lot <br />size standard. However, as the City approved newer subdivisions with accompanying <br />PUDs, plats were approved with smaller lot sizes. <br />Lot size impacts homeowners primarily through the maximum lot coverage standard. <br />The RE zone district established a maximum lot coverage percentage of 20%, and most <br />PUDs are silent on this standard. When a PUD is silent on a standard, the standard in <br />the LMC applies. When analyzing existing conditions for lot size and lot coverage, a <br />substantial portion of RE properties do not comply. According to County Assessor data, <br />of the 1,785 properties with RE zoning, only 257 (14%) comply with minimum the lot area <br />requirement of 12,000 sq. ft. and only 845 (47%) comply the maximum lot coverage of <br />20%. The County Assessor data does not include decks, which would increase the non- <br />conformity rate for maximum lot coverage. <br />Maps reflecting this data are also included as attachments. <br />NUMBER OF PARCELS <br />N <br />O <br />N <br />RE ZONED PARCELS <br />LOT SIZES <br />O <br />m <br />N <br />N <br />N <br />N <br />O <br />N <br />COI <br />ci <br />e --I <br />n <br />I <br />3,000 - 4,000 - 5,000 - 6,000 - 7,000 - 8,000 - 9,000 - 10,000 - 11,000 - 12,000 <br />3,999 4,999 5,999 6,999 7,999 8,999 9,999 10,999 11,999 AND <br />GREATER <br />PARCEL SIZE IN SQUARE FEET <br />Lot sizes per Boulder County Assessor GIS data, may vary from actual platted lot sizes. <br />2 <br />
