The Louisville Metro Council approved a rezoning from OR-1 Office Residential to CR Commercial Residential for a 0.1387-acre property located at 1325 Texas Avenue. The project proposes to utilize an existing mixed-use structure for a new restaurant/deli with outdoor seating, including a dwelling unit on the second story. The decision also included a waiver from Land Development Code section 10.2.4, permitting encroachment into the required 15-foot landscape buffer due to an existing detached garage on the property. A revised Detailed District Development Plan with specific binding elements was approved. The site was previously rezoned from R-5 Single Family Residential to OR-1 Office Residential in 2023. Approved binding elements include operating hours from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM and a prohibition of outdoor music or PA systems audible beyond the property line.
