500 East Auto Mall Drive site plan (revised), 452 E. Auto Mall Drive, 3.81 acres
Approved with conditions · 6-0
Revised GC-2 site plan for a finished building with a car dealership, a gymnasium (cheer gym) and retail. Planner Cody Opperman said that after reclassifying parking uses (gym occupant load of 100 needing about 34 stalls; retail and warehouse about 30), 81 stalls are required and 105 are provided, so the parking reduction sought May 21 is no longer needed. Approved with outstanding Development Review Committee comments as conditions and a requirement to return if tenants or uses change. The applicant was not present.
- Applicant: Jared Huish (May 21 meeting)
- Acres: 3.81
- Zone: GC-2
- Parking: 81 required, 105 provided
- Conditions: resolve DRC comments; new site plan if tenant/use changes

500 East Auto Mall Drive site plan with parking reduction request, 452 E. Auto Mall Drive, 3.81 acres
Approved with conditions · 6-0
The building was approved earlier as an office/warehouse in the PI-1 zone and later rezoned GC-2 for new tenants: a car dealership, a gymnasium and retail. The applicant asked for 89 stalls; Commissioner Bruce Frandsen estimated code would require about 206 and said citywide parking problems worried him. Applicant Jared Huish said Rival Athletics, a cheer and tumbling gym, runs classes after 4 p.m., children are dropped off, competitions are barred at the site, and the dealership sees about eight visitors a day; he said the building department had issued only a temporary certificate of occupancy pending this approval, which was causing financing problems. Commissioner Claire Oldham asked that any future change in use come back for review. The commission approved the site plan, with the City Council as the body to approve the parking reduction. (On June 18, 2025, a revised plan meeting code parking was approved without a reduction.)

- Tenants: Rival Athletics (cheer gym), two retail shops, car dealership

- Zone: GC-2 (rezoned from PI-1)
- Parking: 89 stalls proposed; ~206 by Frandsen's estimate of code
- Conditions: council decides parking reduction; new review if tenant/use changes
August 27, 2024 · City Council
Rival Athletics code amendment to allow athletic gyms in PI-1 zone
Denied · 4-0
Applicant-proposed amendment to bring an existing gym into compliance. Planning Commission recommended denial July 17; staff said gyms conflict with industrial-park intent on parking and traffic and are allowed in GC-2. O'Brien said the business opened before approvals. Councilmember Staci Carroll was open to the use but found the definition too broad; legal counsel suggested a conditional-use approach instead.
