Plan Commission approves conditional use permit for 9,600‑sq‑ft indoor golf center in Germantown Industrial Park
Summary
The commission approved a conditional use permit for Blades Indoor Golf LLC for a 9,600‑square‑foot indoor golf entertainment and recreation facility at W188 N11770 Maple Road, subject to nine conditions listed in the staff packet and an added condition that any transfer of the business at this location requires the buyer to apply for a new CUP.
The Village of Germantown Plan Commission on May 12, 2025 approved a conditional use permit for Blades Indoor Golf LLC to operate a 9,600‑square‑foot indoor golf entertainment and recreation facility in the Germantown Industrial Park at W188 N11770 Maple Road. The commission approved the application by voice vote, subject to the nine conditions in the staff packet and an added non‑transferability condition requiring a new conditional use permit on transfer of the business at that location.
Jordan, planning staff, described the proposal as a 9,600‑square‑foot suite within an existing 26,000‑square‑foot building and said the interior would include simulator bays and small amenities. Jordan said, “the 9,600 square feet is, to be comprised of, 8 golf simulator bays, a putting green, office space restrooms and a front desk area.” The applicant proposed a beverage cart attendant rather than a full bar; staff recommended approval with conditions including obtaining an alcohol beverage license for that cart.
Public hearing and motions
The commission opened and closed a public hearing with no public speakers recorded on Webex. A motion to approve the conditional use permit subject to the nine packet conditions was made and seconded and passed on a voice vote. After the initial approval, a commissioner moved to add a condition that any future transfer of the business at that location would require the acquiring party to obtain a new conditional use permit; the commission accepted that additional condition and again approved the amended conditions by voice vote.
Key details
- Use: Indoor golf entertainment/recreation establishment (indoor simulators, putting green, front desk). - Size: 9,600 square feet within an existing multi‑suite building in an M‑1 (industrial) district; the zoning code permits similar commercial activities in M‑1 with a conditional use permit where compatible with business park uses. - Conditions: Approval subject to the nine conditions in the staff packet (site/building conditions and required permits) plus the added requirement that transfer of the business at this location triggers a new CUP application.
Outcome: The conditional use permit was approved with the added non‑transferability condition. The applicant must obtain the required licenses and comply with packet conditions before operation.
