The City of Westminster Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on August 4, 2026, primarily to consider BZA case number 26-03, a special exception request by Newcut Incorporated to expand a private indoor recreational facility located at 166 Airport Drive. The applicant sought approval to increase the leased area from 6,800 to 8,800 square feet to accommodate gymnastics and cheerleading training. The board reviewed zoning ordinance requirements, particularly the limitation that such facilities be located on lots no greater than three acres. Staff and the board discussed the definition of the lot and the preexisting nature of the use, noting the facility was established prior to the 2015 ordinance imposing the size restriction. After deliberation, the board voted to approve the special exception as a modification of the existing use, with conditions including compliance with all staff recommendations. No public comments were received, and no additional agenda items were noted for the next meeting.
