SP-286 is a request for a Specific Use Permit for a fitness center to be located in an existing 42,000 square foot office warehouse building located one-third mile south of Albany Street, one-eighth mile west of Aspen Avenue. The property is zoned IL (Industrial Light). Fitness Centers are allowed in the IL district with a specific use permit. Applicant is in the process of remodeling approximately 2,190 square feet in an existing industrial building for a fitness facility. As a result, they have submitted a request for a Specific Use Permit.
The site plan for the existing office/warehouse building was approved by the Planning Commission on March 11, 2004, subject to a list of conditions. The site plan acknowledged that 74 parking spaces were required and 77 were provided. For an office/warehouse building in 2004, the Zoning Ordinance required one parking space for 300 square feet of office and one parking space for 1,000 square feet of warehouse. According to the current Zoning Ordinance, fitness and recreational sports center require one parking space per 250 square feet. With 2,190 square feet, the fitness center is required to have nine parking spaces. The fitness center will occupy five percent of the total building. Applying the same percentage to the total number of parking spaces available (5% x 77 = 4). Therefore, the fitness center will require five more parking spaces than what their building percentage of parking provides.
Surrounding land uses and zoning classifications include the following:
North: CH Office warehouse
East: CH Bank
South: CH and IL Body shop and light industrial
West: IL Light industrial
The property is not located in a 100-year floodplain area.
