The next Cafe LOUIE in our area will be Saturday, March 7 at 9 a.m. at the Northeast Regional Library, 15 Bellevoir Circle. If you're unfamiliar with how these events work, Library Foundation staff welcomes everyone and then gives elected officials an opportunity to share brief remarks. Following that, facilitators ask pre-selected questions submitted by residents the morning of the event. I plan to be there and hope many of you will, too. Please visit the Cafe LOUIE website here for more information.
Each week, the Metro Office of Planning creates a report listing all new land use applications in Jefferson County. These typically include requests for changes in zoning, conditional use permits, variances, waivers, and more. There is one case in this week's report related to property near District 17, a landscape plan for a 196-unit multi-family development (most of which is in Oldham County) along Haunz Lane. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about this proposal.

The Community Music Partnership, a collaboration between the Louisville Federation of Musicians and the Louisville Metro Council, brings live music to venues throughout the city at no cost to eligible partners. It's a great way to have quality entertainment at neighborhood gatherings, senior centers, and more. The list of musicians covers all sorts of music from bluegrass to jazz to Top 40 and more. Funding is limited, so availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. Click here to learn more or begin the application process.
A change of use permit is required in Louisville Metro anytime a property's use changes from one type to another. For example, turning a house into a short-term rental, a warehouse into a gym, or a church into an event venue all require this type of permit. This is necessary, even if no construction is planned, because different uses can have different safety, building code, and zoning requirements. For more information, click here or call 574-3321.
