Commission approves 24/7 Golf simulator at Standale shopping center
Summary
The Planning Commission granted a special-land-use approval for 24/7 Golf, a reservation-based indoor golf simulator in a 7,250 sq ft tenant space at 4030 Lake Michigan Drive, citing sufficient shared parking and compatibility with the Standale overlay; building owner and neighbors voiced support.
The Planning Commission approved a special land use to permit a 24/7 golf simulator at 4030 Lake Michigan Drive (Standale) on July 15.
Planning Director Paula Priebe described the tenant space as about 7,250 square feet and said shared parking (approximately 62 spaces for the center) exceeds the seven spaces required for the use. "Based on the application material provided, I make a motion to approve the special land use for 24/7 Golf," the mover stated during the motion. Staff recommended approval, noting shared parking and operating hours reduce overlap with other tenants.
Applicant Michael Granger, the owner and founder of 24/7 Golf, told commissioners the business is reservation-based and operates similarly to unattended fitness clubs: "It does operate it's just like Snap Fitness," he said, explaining entry by reservation and key-code access. Building owner Blake Hicks spoke in support, calling the tenant a good fit and noting the site's existing tenants.
Commissioners found the proposal met special-land-use standards for compatibility and impacts; the motion to approve carried on a voice vote. No additional conditions were imposed; staff will inform the DDA of the commission's action.
