Board approves conditional use permit for nightclub on Oxford Circle

In a recent meeting of the Lexington Board of Adjustment, a significant motion was made regarding a conditional use permit for a proposed nightclub. The request, submitted by Elton Tonopah LLC, seeks to establish a nightclub at 1910 through 1914 Oxford Circle. The proposal includes a variance to reduce the required setback from a residential zone from 100 feet to 90 feet.

The motion to approve the request was made by a board member and received a second, indicating support for the proposal. Following this, the chair called for any discussion on the motion. However, no further comments were made, and the board proceeded to a vote.

This decision is noteworthy as it reflects ongoing efforts to balance commercial development with residential concerns in the neighborhood business zone. The approval of the nightclub could have implications for local nightlife and community dynamics, particularly in relation to noise and traffic in the area.

As the board moves forward, the conditions outlined in the staff's recommendation will be crucial in ensuring that the establishment operates within acceptable parameters, addressing potential concerns from nearby residents. The outcome of this vote will likely influence future discussions on zoning and land use in Lexington.
