AC Skinner Parkway Entertainment Venue Rezoning
At a glance
- What: Ordinance 2026-0557, a PUD rezoning of about 15.41 acres along A.C. Skinner Parkway from Industrial Business Park to allow a mixed-use dining and entertainment venue (full-service restaurant, bar, billiards hall and related merchandise) in part of an existing building in an office park. No new construction. The PUD also sets shared parking, landscaping and signage standards for the park and includes a waiver of the liquor-distance rule for a church in a separate building in the park.
- Where it stands: passed the full council 15-0 on 2026-10-13, as amended. Earlier, the committee: approved 6-0 by the Land Use and Zoning Committee on 2026-10-06 as amended with two conditions and revised exhibits.
- Staff view: consistent with the comprehensive plan, surrounded by business-park land, wetlands buffer homes to the east, and A.C. Skinner Parkway runs at about 19 percent of capacity.
