Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the Public Hearing.
Background
Conquer Ninja Warrior is proposing to open a ninja warrior gym made for training and fitness for anyone 5 years and older in the building at 1467 101st Avenue. Other tenants in the building include retail and office uses. The site is zoned B-3 (Regional Commercial) and a conditional use permit is required for this use.
The applicant intends to use the facility to operate a training and fitness facility in a class-style format. The hours of operation will vary between the hours of 12 p.m. and 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Each class size could include up to 50 students. Kids and adults could be in the classes. Please see the attached narrative for more information.
The applicant is proposing to occupy 6,078 square feet, but this will occur in two phases. The first phase will consist of 3,866 square feet, the second phase (2,212 square feet) will be occupied no later than November 2018 after the current occupant’s lease has expired.
The City is mostly concerned with parking issues that may arise from this type of use. The owner of the building and the applicant have provided a parking analysis/narrative of the site and it has been determined that parking appears to be adequate on this site with the addition of this use in the existing building.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
