Description/Background:
The subject property is located on the east side of 1300 E., a major arterial road. The property is a single tenant 21,217 square foot building that has been utilized as a Recreation Center by 24 Hour Fitness since January of 2000. 24 Hour Fitness operated 12 AM to 10 PM 7 days a week.
Prior to 24 Hour Fitness the building was occupied by an Ernst Home Center who utilized the covered parking area as a garden center. 24 Hour Fitness began utilizing the parking garage as a recreation area without obtaining permission through a Conditional Use Permit as required for recreation centers within 250 feet of a residential zone.
The property then began getting complaints regarding loitering, vandalism, and skateboarding inside the parking garage. The Sandy Police Department was involved in shutting down the criminal activities.
Properties directly north are commercial buildings zoned CC, to the east are single family homes zoned SD(PO/R [R5.7]), to the south is Dimple Dell Park zoned OS and to the west are single family homes zoned R-1-8.
