Planning Commission Meeting - August 5, 2026

The City of Apple Valley Planning Commission held a meeting on August 5, 2026, primarily to consider a conditional use permit for Los Campiones to operate a 24-hour commercial recreation facility (a fitness gym) at 5550 Upper 147th Street West in the BP Business Park zoning district. The commission reviewed the site plan, parking adequacy, landscaping, exterior lighting, and compatibility with adjacent residential areas. The applicant, Benjamin Lower, discussed the gym's business model, emphasizing steady usage throughout the day and safety measures including 24-hour staffing and security. The commission recommended approval of the conditional use permit with conditions related to landscaping and lighting to mitigate impacts on neighboring residential properties. The item will proceed to the city council for final approval. Additionally, the commission discussed upcoming meetings and community engagement efforts for the city’s comprehensive plan update. No direct contract awards or procurement actions were taken during this meeting.
