Section 1. The City Council of the City of Louisville hereby approves the 1st Amendment to the ConocoPhillips Campus General Development (Redtail Ridge Master Plan) with the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall amend the Development Acreage Table on the GDP to reflect an additional 11.6 acres of Open Space in Parcel C and 8.4 acres of Open Space in Parcel A in the locations shown in the applicant presentation included in the August 31, 2021 City Council meeting packet, and add a footnote to the Development Acreage table stating that an additional 9.3 acres of open space adjacent to other Open Space dedication area shall be provided, for a total of 93 acres of gross public land dedication area to be finalized with the first final subdivision plat for the development.
2. The applicant shall amend the Development Program table on the GDP to reflect Developable Area consistent with the adjustments to the final Open Space public dedication requirements and reflect a Total Allowable Development (GSF) of 3,000,000 sq. ft.
3. The applicant shall amend the Permitted Uses table on the GDP to remove Gasoline Service Stations from the use list.
4. The applicant shall apply for rezoning to the Open Space zone district for the areas designated as Open Space on the GDP and first final subdivision plat. Such rezoning application shall be made concurrent with the first final subdivision plat for the development.
5. The applicant shall remove the areas noted as Common Open Space on the GDP, add a boundary line on the GDP in general alignment with Disc Drive between the western and eastern boundaries of the GDP labeled as Former Disc Drive Alignment, and replace Development Program note No. 2 on the GDP with the following:
If clustering is to occur in consideration of additional building height, preference is for development to cluster south of the former Disc Drive alignment. The City Council may approve building heights above three stories that result from clustering in consideration of preservation of additional undeveloped land adjacent to areas of publically dedicated open space. Any such undeveloped land shall include a deed restriction or similar agreement approved by the City to ensure the undeveloped land is maintained in in a natural state in perpetuity. The City Council, in its sole and absolute discretion, may approve limited improvements within the undeveloped areas through the PUD review process, such as detention and water quality ponds, trails, signage, trash and recycling receptacles, benches and split rail wood fencing limited to four feet in height.
6. The applicant shall delete Section 3.3 of the Amended and Restated Planned Community Zone District Zoning Agreement, Redtail Ridge Master Plan, concerning Building Height and renumber subsequent sections of the agreement accordingly.
7. The applicant shall revise the Sustainability Commitment Plan to note that all commercial development above 10,000 sq. ft. shall meet the LEED Silver rating.
8. The applicant shall revise the Sustainability Commitment Plan to include a Commitment to provide 3 megawatts of solar capacity on site at a minimum rate of one watt of solar PV for every one square foot of gross building area.
9. The applicant shall revise the Sustainability Commitment Plan to include a Commitment that all building types include all-electric HVAC and domestic water heating systems, with exceptions for use of natural gas to provide back-up emergency electrical generation power and for manufacturing and industrial processing when best available technology does not provide practical or feasible electric appliance options.
10. The applicant shall add a note to the GDP stating that future development shall provide Level 3 Direct Current (DC) Fast Vehicle Charging stations to meet demand of anticipated occupants.
11. The applicant shall add a note to the GDP stating that all construction traffic must enter and exit from intersections with Northwest Parkway.
12. The applicant shall add a note to the GDP stating that at the time of PUD an applicant may request a density bonus of up to 10% for development within any lot if the City Council determines that the proposed development qualifies as a Net Zero facility without the use of purchased renewable energy credits (RECs) and the additional density does not result in undesirable impacts that cannot be mitigated through the development plan.
13. The applicant shall add a note to the GDP stating that the subdivision improvement agreement for the first final plat for the development shall specify that the applicant is responsible for the cost of construction of all transportation improvements associated with the project described in the March 23, 2021 Redtail Ridge Traffic and Mobility Study, except that a proportional share of cost shall be provided for the widening of S. 96th Street that starts ½ mile north of Dillon Road and extends to Highway 42 if the City determines such improvements are warranted, and a proportional share of any costs required by the City and County of Broomfield or the Northwest Parkway Authority related to long-term improvements of Northwest Parkway and the Northwest Parkway/US 36 Interchange.
