The owner of the Cuban restaurant under construction along Johnston Street in Lafayette wants to build a 50,000-square-foot entertainment facility that will look like Roman Colosseum.<\/p>\n

Yury Remedio is requesting the\u00a0property in the 800 block of Verot School Road<\/a> be rezoned for his concept, to be called The Colosseum. The matter will go before the Lafayette Zoning Commission at its 5 p.m. Monday meeting.<\/p>\n

Remedio, who will the Cuban Tradition restaurant at 5611 Johnston St. early next year, indicated the building will include a pool\/billiards hall, a main floor for live music and several bars, according to documents filed with Lafayette Consolidated Government.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

The request is to rezone the property from commercial mixed (CM-1) to commercial heavy (CH) to allow the entertainment facility.\u00a0Remedio said that the project is “years away” from completion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s far in the future,” he said. “The hardest part is finding property in the first place.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

LCG\u2019s planning department is recommending commissioners deny the request. The size of the building would have a capacity of 3,600 people and require 331 parking spaces, all of which would be too large for that location.<\/p>\n

Eleven nearby residents have called LCG in opposition to the project, the report indicated.<\/p>\n

\u201cA full house during an event could be a disruptive influence on the surrounding neighborhoods,\u201d the report read, \u201cand not conducive to the relative quiet and peace expected in a neighborhood.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\u201cThe additional traffic, noise or loitering accompanying an entertainment facility may not be able to be mitigated to a satisfactory level for nearby residences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remedio is also planning to open a plant nursery\u00a0on land he bought earlier this year at 7510 Johnston St.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
