Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 14, 2016 <br />Page 11 of 14 <br />this is an old Use Group table. We have fitness studios as a common business practice and we <br />have several operating in the City, so it is time we updated our Use Group Table. We <br />recommend creating Use Group 62, specifically called health or athletic clubs, spas, dance <br />studios, fitness studios. This is similar to what is in Chapter 17.14 in the Mixed Use Zone <br />District, but we modified it specifically call out fitness studios. They are a very unique business <br />model. Concurrently with this, we are going into Use Group 22 and deleting "dance "; it is now <br />being put into Use Group 62. We are not changing anything in Use Group 22 other than <br />eliminating "dance" studios. It will now be art class, music class, private or public school that <br />appropriately could fit within a residential zone district. We are not changing the Use Group <br />category and are leaving them in SRU throughout the residential zone districts as well as <br />throughout the City. Use Group 62, now being much more of a commercial activity, will <br />specifically prohibit "dance" in the residential zone district, Allowing it as a use by SRU within <br />the office zone district, and giving it a Use By Right within the commercial zone district. You will <br />see us amend not only Chapter 17.12 Use Groups but will amend 17.14 Mixed Use Zone <br />District as well as 17.72 Planned Community Zone District and 17.13 Office Zone District. <br />Use G r o u p <br />Zoning Districts <br />A <br />A <br />0 <br />B <br />0 <br />AOT* <br />RR -R <br />SFR <br />S. <br />a,- - <br />'L <br />SFLD <br />SFMD <br />SFHD <br />RR <br />H <br />C <br />N <br />C <br />C <br />C <br />B <br />I <br />PCZD* <br />MU <br />R /CC <br />OS <br />22 <br />Public and private <br />schools (Other <br />than items 10, 11 <br />and 12), studios for <br />professional work <br />or teaching of any <br />form of fine arts, <br />photography, <br />music, <br />drama, dance, but <br />not including a <br />commercial <br />gymnasium <br />R <br />R <br />R <br />R <br />' <br />R <br />R <br />R <br />R <br />R <br />R <br />62 <br />Health or athletic <br />clubs, spas, dance <br />studios, fitness <br />studios <br />N <br />R <br />R <br />N <br />1111:11 <br />N <br />N <br />N <br />Y <br />Y <br />Y <br />R <br />* AO -T uses are described in chapter 17.13. <br />** PCZD uses are discussed in chapter 17.72. <br />* ** MU -R uses are discussed in chapter 17.14. <br />* * ** OS The designated classifications of open space lands are set forth in the Open Space Master Plan approved by <br />city council. Provisions regardin e use and management of open space lands are found in the Open Space Master <br />Plan, Article 15 of the City Chart d Title 4 of this Code. <br />Staff Recommendations: <br />Staff recommends Planni mmission move to approve Land Use Modification: Resolution 1, <br />Series 2016, a resolution ommending approval of an ordinance amending Title 17 of the <br />Louisville Municipal Code (LMC) to add health or athletic clubs, spas, dance studios and yoga <br />studios as allowable uses in the City of Louisville and specifying in which zone districts these <br />uses may be developed. <br />Commission Questions of Staff: <br />Moline asks why on page 2 of the Staff Report, there is the grid showing the Use Groups within <br />the zoning districts and then there are zoning districts that have asterisks. It seems odd that we <br />are not able to show those uses whether they are allowed by right or not, yes or no, in those <br />categories in that grid. <br />Russ says I agree. The user friendliness of the LMC has its challenges and what you are <br />seeing here is evidence that the municipal codes evolve over time. We didn't have this business <br />
