Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 82034
Applicant: Viking Gym
Location: 1800 Freeway Boulevard
Request: Special Use Permit
The applicant requests special use permit approval to conduct an athletic club within
the industrial building located at 1800 Freeway Blvd. (The tenant space occupied by
the gym would actually be 6504 Shingle Creek Parkway). The property is zoned I-1 and
is bounded by Northwestern Bell on the north, James Avenue North on the east, Freeway
Boulevard on the south and Shingle Creek Parkway on the west. Athletic clubs are
allowed by special use permit in the C2 and I-1 zones.
In the past, athletic clubs and health spas have been required to provide parking on
the basis of the office formula of one space per 200 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The
tenant space in question is 3,520 sq. ft., requiring 18 parking stalls under the
office formula, about 4.5 spaces under the industrial formula, for a differential of
14 spaces. The remainder of the building is occupied, for the most part, by Federal
Munitions Corporation, an industrial tenant. The total parking requirements for the
building as presently used is roughly 210 spaces. There are 212 spaces installed at
the site and an unstriped area which could accommodate 80 additional parking spaces.
Therefore, it appears that the proposed use presents no real conflict with ordinance
parking standards.
The applicant has submitted a letter.(copy attached) explaining the nature of the
proposed operation. Mr. Evans explains that the Viking Gym would be a "dry salon"
with no swimming pool, sauna, steam, or whirlpool. The floor will be covered with
indoor -outdoor carpeting over a rubber base. Thick rubber pads will be placed in
areas underneath the weight -lifting equipment. Mirrors will be placed at certain
locations along the walls so that those using the equipment can check their form
as they do exercises. The hours of operation would be 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. week-
days and 10:00 a.m, to 4:00 p.m. Saturday (closed Sundays). The gym would be open
on a coeducational basis to persons over 18 yrs. of age (14 yrs. with parental
consent). The space being used has one shower installation and another portable unit
is to be added. Two restrooms and a drinking fountain are already in place.
The Planning Commission may wish to recommend review and approval by the City Sani-
tarian as was done in the case of the suntan studio in the Brookdale Office Tower.
The Sanitarian has recommended that an ordinance be passed with specific standards
rather than leaving matters to arbitrary judgments.
In general, we see no reason to deny the special use permit. Another gymnasium was
approved at this location before and the proposed use does not seem to present any
particular difficulties. Approval is, therefore, recommended subject to at least
the following conditions:
1. The special use permit is issued to the applicant as operator and is
nontransferable.
2. The special use permit is subject to all appropriate codes, ordinances,
and regulations and any violation thereof shall be grounds for
revocation.
3. Hours of operation shall be from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday -Friday
and 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday.
