Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />June 13, 2019 <br />Page 5 of 18 <br />Williams asked if the City would be bound in any financial way based on the proposed <br />GDP. <br />Zuccaro replied that everything to do with the City would be addressed in the PUD <br />process. <br />Howe asked if there were any tenants who were already interested in the area being <br />redeveloped. <br />Zuccaro responded that he was not aware of a particular user, but the main difference <br />at this time from before was that the proposal took 200,000 square feet of retail and <br />trying to turn that into 20-30,000 square feet of retail, 80,000 square feet of non- <br />residential uses, and then having the residential. The City did not think it was ever going <br />to get another 200,000 square feet of new retail. <br />Brauneis asked how the plan would affect the Downtown area. <br />Zuccaro replied that staff had heard concern that the redevelopment area could take <br />away from Main Street business, but the fiscal model analysis took into consideration <br />the cannibalization of existing retail, even though the goal was to capture new retail with <br />the redevelopment. <br />Brauneis asked for the square footage of retail in the redevelopment with Centre Court <br />Apartments. <br />Zuccaro responded that he did not know, but he noted that the fiscal analysis for the <br />GDP took into consideration cannibalization of retail in its calculations. <br />Brauneis asked how much retail was included in the Centre Court Apartment block <br />redevelopment. Zuccaro replied that he could find out. Brauneis then asked if there <br />were any alternatives discussed for the streetscape. <br />Zuccaro replied that staff had not addressed any design elements at this point. <br />Moline asked for the percentage of the City's revenue coming from the McCaslin trade <br />area. <br />Zuccaro replied that the area accounted for almost 50% of the City's sales tax revenue, <br />which was not necessarily the correct percentage for overall revenue. <br />Brauneis asked for public comment. <br />Jerome McQuie, 972 St. Andrews Lane in Louisville, was concerned that the heights <br />were higher than anywhere else in the city and that the plan allowed for development <br />right up to the sidewalk on Dahlia Street. The height of the Sam's Club and the Kohl's <br />was higher than Dahlia and the condominiums were lower than the elevation at Dahlia, <br />which added more to the elevation differential for people living on Dahlia. He also <br />thought that the plan was not sensitive to the McCaslin Small Area Plan. He understood <br />7 <br />
