§ 138-3248. Health club/fitness center.

(a)

Purpose. Health clubs and fitness centers are individual establishments with equipment and facilities for exercising and improving physical fitness. Large health clubs/fitness centers should be focused in commercial districts. Health clubs/fitness centers should be accessible in multifamily, office, industrial and warehouse districts in order serve residents and employees but limited in size to protect available land for the intended primary land uses.

(b)

Applicability. The provisions of this section shall apply to any individual health club/fitness center. This section does not apply to accessory health/fitness facilities that are a part of another land use and used solely by the employees, residents, and/or patrons of said use. (For example, a private fitness center as part of an apartment community that is reserved solely for residents is not subject to this section.)

(c)

Standards.

(1)

In office, industrial and warehouse districts, health clubs/fitness centers shall be less than 20,000 square feet and shall be limited to properties located within a designated Community Redevelopment Area, as described in F. S. § 163.360.

(2)

In the RM district, health clubs/fitness centers shall be less than 10,000 square feet.
