Planning Commission approves indoor golf simulator at Torrey Road Plaza
Summary
The Fenton Planning Commission on April 23 approved a special land use to open Fenton Lakes Indoor Golf at 1442 Torrey Road, permitting three simulators, a putting green and limited retail in an existing 2,300-square-foot unit with a projected occupancy of 15–20 people.
The Fenton Planning Commission approved Special Land Use PSLU26-0003 on April 23 to allow Fenton Lakes Indoor Golf to operate at 1442 Torrey Road, Suite E, in the Torrey Road Plaza. The application covers an existing 2,300-square-foot tenant space proposed for indoor golf simulation and training with three simulators, a putting green, associated seating and limited retail. The motion to approve was made by Commissioner Siwik and passed 6–0.
OHM Advisors’ consultant Justin Sprague reviewed the application and said the use is consistent with the General Business District (GBD) and the City’s Master Plan, noting that the development would be indoors with no exterior changes proposed. "It is anticipated that a maximum of 15-20 people would be in the facility at any time," Sprague said. The report recommended approval conditioned on (1) no external activities, (2) any future food or alcoholic beverage service triggering an additional special land use approval, and (3) review by all applicable consultants, departments and agencies.
Applicant Kent Tarkleson of Peak Performance Golf told the commission he agreed with the OHM Advisor’s assessment. The hearing drew no public speakers. The commission’s approval allows the applicant to proceed to required building and permitting reviews; any changes that introduce outdoor activities or alcoholic beverage service will require a separate land use review.
The Planning Commission recorded a unanimous vote: Siwik — yes; Senyko — yes; Suchowski — yes; Steffey — yes; Rossmaessler — yes; Csapo — yes. Next steps for the applicant include final plan details and consultant/departmental approvals prior to issuance of permits.
