SUPPORT FOR THE AMENDMENT
(Please fill out for all amendments, whether site specific or otherwise)
Please explain the need for the amendment (wiry is it being proposed). Include any data, research, or
reasoning that supports the proposed amendment (attach additional pages if necessary).
The site is home to the old Bally's Fitness Center, which has been vacant for many years and is in disrepair.
There does not appear to be any market demand for a gym at this location; however, the City and region are
still experiencing a lack of housing inventory and are in need of additional opportunities. The current zoning
could be considered a "spot zone," and we believe the community would be better served with a zoning
designation that matches the surrounding properties.
FEE
The fees required for a comprehensive plan amendment shall be as provided in the city's fee schedule
in effect at the time of application.
