"One Park" would have 299 hotel rooms and 581 apartments and condos.

The revised plan still allows buildings as tall as 34 stories.

Revisions include wider sidewalks, improved outdoor lighting and seating as well as the addition of solar panels.

A preservation group that has opposed the project says the revisions do not mitigate concerns.

Developers want to build high-rises near Cherokee Park and they’re sticking to their plans for three approximately 30-story towers.

The project — dubbed One Park — would transform a 3.5-acre triangle at the intersection of Lexington Road and Grinstead Drive into a dense, mixed commercial-residential area.

A plan submitted to the city Monday is similar to plans presented at the last of nearly a dozen public meetings over the course of two years.

Steve Porter, an attorney representing the Lexington Road Preservation Area, a group opposed to the development, said his clients would continue to object to the height of the towers, which would dominate the view from Cherokee Park.

The current plan calls for 581 apartments and condominiums, 299 hotel rooms, 36,000 square feet of convention space and over 100,000 square feet of restaurant, retail and office space. It still allows buildings up to 34 stories tall.

A list of 22 modifications to the plan, first submitted for preliminary review in 2016, notes that the site’s three towers are now farther away from the street than originally planned.

Other revisions include wider sidewalks, improved outdoor lighting and seating, the addition of solar panels, bicycle parking, public transit and ride sharing stops as well as space for an urban grocery store, the site’s owner Kevin Cogan and his Jefferson Development Group say in a slide show accompanying the filing.

The developers also emphasize the area’s proximity to Cherokee and Seneca parks.

“An urban park is meant to be used, not just barely or trivially and not just by those who reside adjacent to it, but regularly, actively and by as much of the urban community as can relatively easily gain access to it,” the presentation says.

The project would link the nearby parks to an urban environment and increase the area’s “vibrancy,” the developers argue.

The group’s zoning lawyer, Bill Bardenwerper, told the Courier Journal the existing development is an ugly “hodgepodge” of businesses. Permitted under the area’s existing zoning are tattoo parlors, fast-food restaurants and car lots, he warned.

“It’s the Wild West,” he said. “You can do whatever you want, just about.”

Cogan’s group says it will make better use of that space, answering demand for more urban housing and increasing Louisville’s competitiveness with cities like Austin, Charlotte, Indianapolis and Nashville.

Three of the site’s existing businesses — restaurant Le Moo, cafe Fante’s Coffee and dry cleaner Nu-Yale Cleaners — have all expressed interest in joining the proposed development, Bardenwerper said.

The zoning lawyer estimated construction could begin as early as 2020 if the project is approved.
