The Louisville Metro Council approved a zoning change for 2213 South Preston Street from C-1 Commercial to C-2 Commercial to accommodate the Lucky Neko Tattoo parlor. The site is located along a mixed-use commercial corridor and is constrained by a pre-existing cell tower, limiting large-scale development. The rezoning facilitates the reuse of the existing building in a manner consistent with neighborhood commercial activity. The plan complies with Plan 2040, including policies supporting mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods and transit access. Access will be maintained via a rear alley, and the development is governed by binding elements addressing construction, signage, tree protection, and permitting standards.
This rezoning supports small business growth and adaptive reuse of existing commercial properties within Louisville’s urban core. It also aligns with the city’s goals for revitalizing traditional commercial corridors and enhancing pedestrian accessibility.
