1 MINNETONKA PLANNING COMMISSION June 11, 2015 Brief Description Conditional use permit for at 2806 Hedberg Drive Recommendation Recommend the city council approve the request Project No a Property Applicant Proposal 2806 Hedberg Drive Shubham Panwar, CrossFit VHP The applicant is proposing to locate a within the existing industrial building at 2806 Hedberg Drive. The fitness facility would occupy an existing vacant tenant space. There would be no changes to the site or exterior of the building. (See narrative and plans on pages A1-A8.) Proposal Requirements The proposal requires: Conditional use permit: Retail or service uses occupying between 25 and 50 percent of the area of an industrial building are a conditional use in the industrial zoning district. Given the existing tenant mix in the building, the proposed service commercial use requires a conditional use permit. Approving Body The planning commission makes a recommendation to the city council, which has final authority to approve or deny the request. (City Code Subd. 4) Site Features Proposed Use The building is part of the Cedar-73 Business Park, which is located at the intersection of Hopkins Crossroad and Greenbrier Road. The building is 28,000 square feet in size and contains a mix of industrial and service commercial uses. The proposed would occupy an existing vacant tenant space within the building. The fitness facility would be 3,600 square feet in size. CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program that involves small group work-outs lead by one or two coaches. Due to the nature of the facility, very few improvements would be required to the tenant space. There would be a small

There would be no changes to the site or exterior of the building. The applicant estimates that there would be one small group class occurring at a time, consisting of five to ten clients per class. The main facility hours would be weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., and 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The facility hours on weekends would be 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Proposed Parking Staff Analysis The site shares access and parking with the property to the west, 2828 Hedberg Drive. The properties are owned by the same entity and have a parking easement that allows the properties to share parking. There are currently 104 parking stalls provided on the two properties. The site would require 107 parking stalls for the existing tenants and proposed fitness facility. The three additional stalls could easily be added to the rear parking lot of 2828 Hedberg Drive by striping additional stalls, without having to expand the parking lot. The proposal would therefore meet the city s parking requirements. (See page A6.) Staff finds that the applicant s proposal is reasonable. Staff Recommendation The proposal is an appropriate use of the property. The building contains a mix of industrial, office, and service commercial uses. The proposed fitness facility is complementary to the existing uses and is consistent with uses allowed in the industrial zoning district. Between the two properties, there is sufficient parking available to accommodate the proposed fitness facility and meet the parking requirements of the ordinance. The proposal meets the conditional use permit standards. Recommend that the city council adopt the resolution on pages A9-A11. This resolution approves a conditional use permit for a fitness facility within the existing industrial building at 2806 Hedberg Drive.
