Background
CrossFit Blaine is proposing to expand an existing fitness center in the building at 1630 101st Avenue (SE corner 101st and Davenport). CrossFit Blaine would be in Suites 180 and 190 on the east end cap of the building.
The applicant's use is a class based fitness training facility. All classes are pre-registered at specific time slots. This is important for how the use works with parking requirements and the other more typical uses that hopefully will occupy the building.
In summary the fitness center will operate as follows:
· CrossFit is not an open gym but is operated as small classes and personal training appointments. Members do not train unattended. |
· Class size is typically 8-12 but could be as high as 15 students. |
· Classes M-F are in the early am and evening. There will also be weekend classes. These times are when customers would generally be available but also importantly are off-peak in terms of when other industrial building tenants would be open and needing parking. |
· 12-15 parking stalls have been made available for this use. |
The attached narrative has additional details on the proposed operations plan. The building and site meet all current zoning code requirements.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
