Planning Commission Staff Report September 12, 2024 Additional site improvements include four bicycle parking spaces and an enclosed trash container in the northeast corner of the site. Site lighting includes downcast and shielded fixtures, with low wattage, low temperature string lights mounted above the outdoor dining and miniature golf area. Pursuant to Louisville Municipal Code (LMC) Sec. 17.12.030, outdoor eating and drinking establishments and outdoor commercial amusement (miniature golf) are permitted as SRUs in the C-C zone district. The applicant has provided rationale for the use, and staff have provided further analysis below. Staff recommend approval of both SRUs. The property includes a Landmarked sign on the southeast corner of the site. The sign currently bears the Shamrock logo from the most recent fueling station/convenience store use. However, it is Landmarked as the Standard Oil Sian. The sign will remain in place with this development proposal, and the applicant may change the sign copy with an alteration certificate from the Historic Preservation Commission. Standard Oil Sign 947 Pine Street The Standard Oil Sign is designated as an iconic sign by the City of Louisville. The sign was installed in 1961 when the current building was constructed.

Landmarked sign The applicant has requested two waivers to facilitate redevelopment of this site. The first waiver request is for relief from the 20-foot rear setback standard that applies to the north property line. The existing building setback on the north side of the property is 2.5 feet. The applicant intends to extend the building by 8.3 feet on the south while maintaining the existing setback on the north, therefore the waiver request is necessary. 5
