TWIN FALLS, ID 83301 CROSSFIT TWIN FALLS A. We are requesting a Special Use Permit to allow a new CrossFit gym to be constructed in an existing building. The existing building will be remodeled to provide this new occupancy. The site is located in the P3 parking overlay. An onsite parking lot will be added on as phase 2 to the area west of the building. Please see the attached ariel view of the surrounding existing building and projected parking options. B. i. The gym's operational hours are as follows: Monday—Friday 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday 8:30 a.m. -12 p.m., Sunday 8 a.m.- 10 a.m. Refer to the attached schedule for details on class arrangements. ii. The traffic anticipated will be the vehicles visiting the site. iii. There will be 4 employees present during operational hours All employees are coaches. Each class is led by at least one coach. During open gym time, at least one coach will be present on-site. Iv. There will be 1-18 people in class.No more than 18 in a class. All larger classes(up to 18) are held before 10 a.m. V. The exercises performed in the classes will consist of the following: CrossFit exercises are constantly varied functional movements. Functional movements are those movements that are"essential"to life demands. Examples of CrossFit functional exercise movements are(1)air squats(getting up out of a chair requires an air squat); (2)a deadlift(picking up groceries from the floor requires a deadlift); (3) a clean(getting a five-gallon water jug from the ground onto a table requires a clean); and a shoulder press(placing items on a high shelf requires a shoulder press). CrossFit functional exercise movements further include gymnastic movements(pull-ups,push-ups, and sit-ups)and cardio exercises(running and jumping). vi. There is one door on the east side of the building that will be opened if the workout includes running outside. Additionally,the gravel area on the west side of the building will not be used for any outside exercise space. The door on the north side of the building nearest the alley will remain shut at all times and weather stripping will be added/repaired to help with sound control and heat gain/loss. C. i. During construction,there will be minor effects from noise,glare, odor, fumes,and vibration. After construction,there will be minimal effect of noise on the adjacent property. There will be short-term noise from construction-related activities (6:30 a.m.to approximately 6:30 p.m.). Long-term noise will be from vehicles, and customers,coming to and going from the site. It will be similar to the noise created by other businesses in the surrounding area. ii. This project will not increase the glare,because the exterior of the building remains the same. iii. Odor; There will be some odors during construction. The odor from the facility will not be increased from the current use. iv. Fumes and vibration on adjacent property. There will be minimal impact on the adjoining property during the renovation work. During regular operation, on occasion when weights are used,noise and vibration will be mitigated by specialized platforms and mats.Weights are not used every day. V.
