Planning Commission Staff Report September 12, 2024 SUMMARY: The applicant, Construction Concepts, LLC, is requesting approval of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment and Special Review Use (SRU) to allow outdoor dining and outdoor miniature golf, with a bar and restaurant. The proposed development will include a 728 square -foot addition to the existing structure that will accommodate indoor virtual golf with a bar and restaurant. Exterior improvements will include outdoor dining and seating areas with a 1,634 square -foot miniature golf course. BACKGROUND: The existing building and use were entitled as part of the George Oil PUD and Special Review Use approved in 1988 which established a fueling station and grocery store on the subject site. The property is zoned Commercial Community (C-C) and is subject to the Downtown Louisville Design Handbook ("Design Handbook") and Downtown Louisville Framework Plan ("Framework Plan"). The Design Handbook and Framework Plan designate two character areas in Downtown, the "Core Area" and the "Transition Area." The map below shows the Core Area highlighted in blue and the Transition Area crosshatched. The Core Area is the traditional business center for Downtown while the Transition Area includes more of a mix of traditional commercial and residential uses. The Transition Area features policies that mandate shorter building heights and reduced density when compared to the Core Area. This approach facilitates the transition of buildings between the commercial core and the nearby residential neighborhoods. ifs 0Audi OD ■ ,A _ • ■ fir re refe 111 • • IN i S W f 1.4 I I a sli as 4 11. tip mum -A North sus r^- i a 'Subject Property * =1 "'!-1' Nis Downtown Map with Core Area in Blue and Transition Area is Crosshatch 2
