Background
The applicant, Anytime Fitness, is proposing to occupy a tenant space in the multi-tenant building known as Oak Park Plaza, which is located just south of the new Cub Foods at 109th Avenue and University Avenue. According to the Zoning Ordinance, recreational facilities and uses such as this require a conditional use permit.
Anytime Fitness will occupy 5,000 square feet of the multi-tenant building. The floor plan for the building indicates that there will be cardio and weight machines, free weights, and a tanning area available for the patrons. At any given time there are generally no more than 30-40 people in the gym at one time, including peak times. All members will have access to the fitness center 24 hours a day and 7 days a week by using their membership entrance key.
The City uses a parking ratio of one stall per 300 square feet of floor area for fitness centers. The submitted site plan identifies adequate parking in front of their proposed location.
The attached narrative has additional details on the proposed operations plan. The building and site meet all current zoning code requirements as part of the Oak Park Plaza redevelopment.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
