BZA extends alcohol sales hours for indoor golf‑simulator business on Savannah Highway
Summary
The Board approved a request to extend on‑site alcohol sales to 11:59 p.m. seven days a week for a golf‑simulator/indoor recreation business at 1919 Savannah Highway, finding the change consistent with prior approvals and staff criteria and subject to state licensing and two staff conditions.
The Charleston County Board of Zoning Appeals approved a request to extend on‑site alcohol sales hours at 1919 Savannah Highway to 11:59 p.m., seven days a week.
The property hosts an indoor recreation/golf‑simulator business with simulators, a putting green and a small bar. The applicant’s representative, John C. Sullivan of SRK Studio LLC, told the board the business is primarily nighttime‑oriented (sports viewing and simulator use) and that shutting off alcohol sales earlier interferes with the business model. Staff noted the prior special exception (March 2023) set earlier sale hours and recommended extension subject to proof of state alcoholic beverage approval and the two standard staff conditions.
No opposition speakers appeared and board members who spoke found the proposal met applicable approval criteria, including compatibility with adjacent commercial uses and available parking; the board approved the extension subject to staff conditions. The BZA will require the applicant to provide proof of state licensing to zoning staff prior to final zoning approval.
