WHEREAS, the Legislative Council of the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government (the “Council”) has considered the evidence presented at the public hearing held by the Louisville Metro Planning Commission (the “Planning Commission”) and the recommendations of the Planning Commission and its staff as set out in the minutes and records of the Planning Commission in Case No. 22ZONE0049; and
WHEREAS, the Council concurs in and adopts the findings of the Planning Commission for the zoning change and the alternative plan for connectivity in Case No. 22ZONE0049 and approves and accepts the recommendation of the Planning Commission as set out in said minutes and records for the zoning change; and
WHEREAS, while the Council generally supports connectivity, in this case there are circumstances that justify not requiring a connection between 805 South English Station Road and the adjoining condominium development to the south, as (i) the connection would only serve two relatively small developments over private, not public, roads, with no potential to provide greater connectivity to other developments or roads in the future, and (ii) each development has an access point to South English Station Road, with the two access points approximately 500 feet apart, so any benefit of a second connection to the same road will be limited due to the close proximity of the two access points; and
WHEREAS, based on those circumstances, Council disagrees with the recommendation of the Planning Commission for the alternative plan for connectivity in Case No. 22ZONE0049 and rejects the recommendation of the Planning Commission as set out in said minutes and records for the alternative plan for connectivity.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF THE LOUISVILLE/JEFFERSON COUNTY METRO GOVERNMENT (THE “COUNCIL”) AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I: That the zoning of the property located at 805 South English Station Road containing approximately 7.19 acres and being in Louisville Metro, as more particularly described in the minutes and records of the Planning Commission in Case No. 22ZONE0049, is hereby changed from R-4 Single Family Residential to R-5A Residential Multi-Family; provided, however, said property shall be subject to the binding elements as set forth in the minutes of the Planning Commission in Case No. 22ZONE0049.
SECTION II: That the alternative plan for connectivity for the property located at 805 South English Station Road containing approximately 7.19 acres and being in Louisville Metro, as more particularly described in the minutes and records of the Planning Commission in Case No. 22ZONE0049, is hereby approveddenied.
SECTION III: This Ordinance shall take effect upon its passage and approval or otherwise becoming law.
