Village OKs conditional use permit for Blades Indoor Golf in Germantown Industrial Park
Summary
The village board approved a conditional use permit allowing a 9,600‑square‑foot indoor golf entertainment and recreation facility in the Germantown Industrial Park, following planning commission recommendation and trustee support.
The Village of Germantown village board approved a conditional use permit for a proposed 9,600‑square‑foot indoor golf entertainment and recreation establishment to locate at W188 and 11770 Maple Road in the Germantown Industrial Park.
The applicant, represented by Adam Altus for Blades Indoor Golf, presented a proposal for an indoor entertainment facility in an existing industrial building. The planning commission reviewed the request and recommended approval; trustees said the use is consistent with prior approvals for indoor recreation uses in the M‑1 Limited Industrial District and would add a business amenity to the industrial park.
Trustees noted the village has previously allowed indoor recreation users in industrial spaces (example uses included martial arts, soccer training and similar indoor recreation). Several trustees described the proposal as straightforward and favorable for business recruitment. The board approved the conditional use permit by voice vote; conditions and site‑plan compliance will be handled through staff and plan commission processes.
The board did not adopt any zoning text change to make indoor recreation a permitted use in the M‑1 district; trustees said the village could consider code changes in the future if it wants to elevate indoor recreation to a permitted use in industrial areas.
