City Council Meeting Minutes December 1, 2015 Page 6 of 20 pub is located across from the climbing gym and follows the design principles of the gym, but on a smaller scale. The brew pub has outdoor seating enclosed by metal fencings. It will have a partially covered and uncovered area. The brew pub design is based on a free standing element. The graphic on the outside of the building (signage) is a portion of the logo. There are matching logos on the climbing gym and brew pub. The applicant wished to pursue the signage. The building is south facing and is being designed to be energy efficient and solar panels are proposed in the future. COUNCIL COMMENT Council member Loo asked if the graphic would be allowed if there wasn't any wording. Planner I Trice explained it would still be characterized as a sign because it is the logo. Council member Loo asked the applicant about the CTC Owners Association's objection to the logo. Mr. Johnson stated they do not know why the CTC Owners Association objected to the logo. Planner I Trice explained the signage was not a part of the original submittal when it was referred to the CTC Owners Association. Staff forwarded the signage request to the CTC Owners Association and they concurred with staff's recommendation. Council member Keany explained he called staff about the classification of a school for recreation facilities and was told there is no such classification. He asked staff to bring back a classification change. He felt there should be some sort of classification use within the community. He had concerns it conflicted with other portions of the Code limiting businesses within a certain distance from a school. Planner I Trice explained the LMC specifies schools in the definition of medical and recreational marijuana as public and private, pre - school, elementary, middle, junior high or high school so would not apply here. She noted the surrounding area is industrial, which would not allow marijuana. Interim Planning and Building Safety Director Russ explained the definition is also used by the Local Licensing Authority for alcohol related licenses. He noted staff agrees and the Planning Commission prioritized creating a use definition for fitness facility in the use table of the Louisville Municipal Code. Staff is in the process of creating a definition. Council member Stolzmann stated this is an excellent application and she was excited to see this project come to Louisville. She addressed Use Group 9 — Public and private schools, studios for profession work, teaching for fine arts, photography, drama, dance, but not including a commercial gymnasium. She asked staff to elaborate how this proposal fits into Use Group 9. Planner 1 Trice explained the proposal falls into Group 9 because they will be teaching classes. She asked the applicant to explain what will be taught at the climbing gym. Mr.
