Minnesota Muscle and Fitness, Inc. 96011 Special Use Permit approval to operate a fitness training and weight management facility in the Northbrook Shopping Center at 1910 57th Avenue North. 8. Other Business 9. Adjournment Planning Commission Information Sheet • Application No: 96011 Applicant: Minnesota Muscle and Fitness, Inc. Location: 1910 57th Avenue North(Northbrook Shopping Center) Request: Special Use Permit The applicant, Mr. Rajesh Dash on behalf of Minnesota Muscle and Fitness,Inc., is seeking a Special Use Permit to operate a fitness training and weight management facility in the Northbrook Shopping Center located at 1910 57th Avenue North. The shopping center property is zoned C-2 (Commerce) and is bounded on the east by Logan Avenue North; on the southeast by Acme Typewriter; on the south by 57th Avenue North and the Bill West Service Station; and on the northwest by T. H. 100. This fitness training and weight management facility is considered to be a special use under the category of uses containing"tennis clubs,racquet and swim clubs and other athletic clubs,health spas and suntan studios." This is listed in the Zoning Ordinance at Section 35-322, Subdivision 3p(attached). The applicant has submitted a letter describing the proposed fitness training and weight management facility (attached). The facility will occupy approximately 3,000 sq. ft. in the easterly building located adjacent to Logan Avenue North and addressed as 1910 57th Avenue North. Their tenant space will be immediately south of the Pilgrim Cleaner site. The letter indicates that Minnesota Muscle and Fitness, Inc. operates a training facility for individuals for strength, cardiovascular fitness and weight management utilizing stationary equipment,rehab • equipment, exercise cycles and treadmills. Persons utilizing the facility are provided with guided training by supervisors or managers who may also counsel clients on nutrition and related matters. They also train individuals who are recuperating from injuries. It is anticipated that there will be 12 to IS individuals in the facility at any given time and these individuals will utilize the facility for:approximately 20 to 60 minutes each. These clients will come in for training approximately two to four times per week depending on their program. As indicated,this fitness training and weight management facility will occupy approximately 3,000 sq. ft. The ordinance required parking formula for racquet and swim clubs, athletic clubs, health spas and the like is 20 spaces for the first 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area,plus one space per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area in excess of 1,000 sq. ft.,plus two spaces per outside tennis court. There are no outside or inside tennis or racquet courts related to this use. The parking requirement for this 3,000 sq. ft. space is,therefore, 27 parking spaces. The retail parking formula for this 3,000 sq. ft. facility is 5.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area or approximately 17 parking spaces. Based on this,there is a need to provide ten additional parking spaces on the site to accommodate this use. The Northbrook Shopping Center has a surplus of parking beyond the minimum required for a retail center. The additional ten parking spaces required for the use should not create any problem with respect to the availability of parking, given this surplus. 7-11-96 Page 1 The applicant has also provided written comments as to how the facility will meet the standards for Special Use Permits contained in Section 35-220, Subdivision 2 of the City.Ordinances. He indicates the training facility will promote and enhance the general welfare and not be detrimental to the public health because their facility promotes physical well being by training individuals with cardiovascular health equipment. He also notes that their business will be compatible with surrounding uses and will provide services to neighboring property as well. He notes that the facility will not impede in any way orderly development or improvements in the surrounding areas that they have adequate parking for their facility and that they will in every way conform to all applicable regulations of the zoning district in which they are located. The comments submitted by the applicant appear to be appropriate and we see no conflict with the use being proposed and the standards for Special Use Permit contained in the Zoning Ordinance. A public hearing has been scheduled and notices have been sent to surrounding property owners. RECOMMENDATION All in all it appears that this application is in order and the standards for special use permits are met. Approval is,therefore,recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The Special Use Permit is granted for a fitness training and weight management facility as comprehended under the classification of use contained in Section 35-322, Subdivision 3p as • an"other athletic club." Any change in the use of this operation not comprehended by this application or permitted under the Zoning Ordinance will require approval of an amendment to this Special Use Permit. 2. Building plans for tenant remodeling and occupancy of this space are subject to the approval of the Building Official prior to the issuance of permits. 3. The granting of this Special Use Permit is subject to the applicant complying with all applicable codes, ordinances and regulations relating to the operation. Any violation thereof may be grounds for revocation. r 7-11-96 • Page 2 IRANIAN ��./, ,+� . NO WE MINOR 1111111 ki, '0, Irlull Wpm Bills MAN Its �I IINA.IN� ♦ /,/.�:;•,% �%,:::yam!•!__`% N/IA. .
