Fitness classes are held for a maximum of ten participants. Monday— Friday fitness classes are held at 8 AM and 5 PM. Saturday fitness class is held at 10 AM.

Total anticipated maximum daily and weekly users Use of the warehouse for gymnastics classes and fitness training is currently ongoing and the applicant is requesting the Special Permit to remedy potential zoning violations. The applicant previously operated at 74-550 Honokohau Street but had to move from that facility due to zoning issues and now another user at that site makes use of the entire facility. The size of the warehouse at over 12,000 square-feet is ideal and necessary for this proposed use as at least 5,000 square-feet of unobstructed clear space and a ceiling height of at least 21 feet is required for a youth gymnastics program with a competitive team. The size of the facility is fundamental in safety considerations for the sport. The safest environment for the participants will be created by following size requirements and standards of equipment placement set up by the United States Gymnastics Federation. The open floor plan, high ceilings and excellent ventilation are also ideal for a fitness facility. A diagram of the facility interior layout is provided (Figure 3). Elevation drawings are also provided (Figure 4).
