## Item for Consideration:
Public Hearing to consider Site Plan Approval for conversion of a retail tenant space to
a fitness studio at 6503 Nicollet Avenue South.
## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Baleo Fitness has requested Site Plan Approval for a change of use for a 3,911 square
foot tenant space in the Richfield Shoppes North from retail (formerly an Xfinity store) to
a 24-hour fitness studio (Anytime Fitness). Health clubs or fitness centers are a
permitted use in the zoning district, but the parking requirement is greater than for a
shopping center, and the subject shopping center is already under-parked according to
the Zoning Code.
Typically, a parking utilization study would be required. The initial inquiry started in late
January. Due to the harsh winter conditions and operation metro surge, staff agreed
that a utilization study would produce inaccurate results. Therefore, only a parking
analysis was conducted. The analysis concludes that, although the center does not
have a parking surplus during its overall peak demand, there is a surplus during the
fitness studio’s peak hours, which compliment, rather than compete with, the center
overall. Therefore, the proposed change of use is not expected to have a negative
impact on the parking demand. Also, although they do not count according to the
Zoning Code, there are five on-street stalls adjacent to the center on the south side of
65th Street.
Staff finds the analysis and its assumptions to be reasonable and that the proposal
meets the intent of the Zoning Code to the extent practicable. Accordingly, staff
recommends approval, subject to the conditions listed in the draft resolution, including
the installation of bike racks to help off-set vehicle parking demand.
## RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct and close a public hearing and by motion: Recommend approval of the
conversion of 3,911 square foot tenant space from retail to fitness studio.
## HISTORICAL CONTEXT
• The subject site was constructed as a shopping center in the 1940s.
• The center is unique; the second and third story office space, which appears to
have been added in the 1950s, is an early example of vertical mixed-use
development in a suburban community.
Page 7 of 47
• In 2013, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) was approved for a 4,200 square foot
Class I (full service) restaurant (El Tejaban). A professionally prepared parking
utilization study at that time demonstrated that off-street parking supply exceeded
the demand due to varying peak hours of the tenant mix.
• In 2022, a CUP was approved for a Class III (fast food/convenience) restaurant
(La Michoacana Tasty). Parking for food service users within shopping centers
need not be calculated separately if certain conditions are met. Therefore, the
parking study was not updated at that time.
## EQUITABLE OR STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS OR IMPACTS
## Equity
Twenty-four-hour fitness facilities increase access (particularly for individuals with non-
traditional work hours) which can help reduce disparities in physical activity levels.
However, if the membership fees are too high, the gym may be inaccessible to lower-
income community members, limiting the benefits to more affluent groups.
## Strategic Plan
The Strategic Plan includes desired outcomes of a vibrant downtown and a diversified
tax base. It is desirable to have a range of commercial uses and peak hours in
downtown, to help maintain vibrancy. A 24-hour fitness center may bring new visitors
into downtown, who may stay and support surrounding businesses.
## POLICIES (RESOLUTIONS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, STATUTES, ETC.)
## Parking
Based on zoning requirements of:
• 10 stalls per 1,000 for the 4,200 sq. ft. restaurant,
• 3.33 stalls per 1,000 for the 9,172 sq. ft. of upstairs office, and
• 4 stalls per 1,000 for the rest of the 52,945 sq. ft. shopping center, 285 stalls are
required.
Applying the 10% reduction for being within a quarter mile of a frequently operating
transit line lowers the total to 257. With 210 parking stalls provided, the site has a deficit
of 47 stalls.
The parking code distinguishes between “community” shopping centers (under 50,000
sq. ft., requiring 3.5 stalls per 1,000 sq. ft.) and “regional” centers (over 50,000 sq. ft.,
requiring 4 stalls per 1,000 sq. ft.). Since the size of the subject center (even without the
restaurant and upstairs space) is over 50,000 sq. ft., the regional number applies. While
codes do need to draw a line somewhere, the subject shopping center appears to serve
the immediate community, rather than drawing clientele from the surrounding region.
Therefore, it could be argued that 3.5 stalls per 1,000 is a more accurate application,
which would result in a 22 stall deficit.
The submitted parking analysis takes into consideration how the various businesses
function throughout the day, including the hours of operation, and peak hours for each
tenant. In short, because the peak hours of Anytime Fitness do not overlap with the
overall peak hours of the rest of the center, Anytime Fitness is not expected to
negatively impact the parking demand.
Page 8 of 47
Finally, if parking becomes an issue, the business could structure its pricing to
incentivize customers to visit during off-peak hours.
## Traffic
The traffic generated by the change of use mimics the parking demand; as such, traffic
is also not expected to be adversely impacted.
## Zoning Compliance
Site Plan Approval is required in order to bring exterior improvements into conformance
with current Zoning Code to the extent possible. The property currently has only one
bike rack that does not meet code requirements for location or type. To reduce vehicle
parking demand, staff recommends that the applicant install bicycle parking consistent
with zoning requirements. Based on available information, this is 15 racks (30 bike
parking “stalls”). Attached is a graphic that shows some areas where bike racks may fit,
but an analysis must be done to determine how many can actually be installed given
placement and clearance requirements. Also, given the limited space on site, staff
recommends the applicant approach the City’s Public Works department, Hennepin
County and/or Metro Transit in order to assess the possibility of locating bike racks
within the public right-of-way.
The shopping center is nonconforming in regard to more than just vehicle and bike
parking. Most notably, in relation to impervious area and hard-surface setbacks. Both
the circulation aisle on the east side and the parking stalls on the west side encroach
onto the adjacent right-of-way. Unfortunately, there is no practical remedy for these
longstanding non-conformities.
## Discretion
Site plan approval must be granted if the proposal meets performance standards. The
City’s discretion is limited to evaluating compliance with established criteria.
## CRITICAL TIMING ISSUES
## 60-DAY RULE:
• Application deemed complete: March 16, 2026.
• 60-day deadline: May 15, 2026.
• A decision is required by this date, or the City must notify the applicant that it is
extending the deadline (up to a maximum of 60 additional days or 120 days
total).
## FINANCIAL IMPACT
None; all required application fees have been paid.
## LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Notice of the public hearing was published in the Sun Current on April 16, 2026,
and mailed to properties within 350 feet of the site.
• Council consideration is scheduled for May 12, 2026.
## ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S)
Page 9 of 47

## Required Findings
## Anytime Fitness / 6503 Nicollet Avenue South
Site Plan Approval (Subsection 547.13) In evaluating a site plan, the Planning Commission and
Council shall consider its compliance with the following:
a) Consistency with the various elements and objectives of the City’s long range plans including, but
not limited to, the Comprehensive Plan.
• The proposed site is not included in any small area or other long-range plans separate from the
Comp Plan. The use is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
b) Consistency with the purposes of the Zoning Code.
• The proposed use is allowed in the C-2 zoning district, however the parking does not meet the
City’s current requirements. Zoning Code Section 544.13, Subd.9, states that an applicant
may request a modification of the minimum required number of parking spaces by submitting a
study of anticipated parking demand. The request is not a formal variance and therefore the
variance review criteria do not apply. The analysis was done by a professional engineer with
expertise in traffic and parking analysis, and was based on Institute of Transportation
Engineering (ITE) parking research. The analysis indicates that, due to the off-set in peak
hours of the various uses within the center, the anytime fitness will not have a negative impact
on the parking demand. Therefore, staff finds that the proposed change of use is consistent
with the purpose of the Zoning Code.
c) Preservation of the site in its natural state, insofar as practicable, by minimizing tree and soil
removal, and designing any grade changes so as to be in keeping with the general appearance of
neighboring areas.
• N/A; no external changes are proposed.
d) Creation of a harmonious relationship of buildings and open spaces with the terrain and with
existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the proposed development.
• The building is existing and no external changes are proposed.
e) Creation of a functional and harmonious design for structures and site features including:
i. Creation of an internal sense of order for the various functions and buildings on the site and
provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors, and the general community;
• The site layout is existing, no external changes are proposed.
ii. Appropriateness of the amount and arrangement of open space and landscaping to the design
and function of the development;
• No changes to the site layout are proposed.
iii. Appropriateness of the materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression
of the design concept of the project and the compatibility of the same with the adjacent and
neighboring structures and functions;
• The building is existing with no changes.
iv. Adequacy of vehicular, cycling and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives
and parking, in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width of
interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian, cycling
and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking so as to be safe, convenient and,
insofar as practicable, compatible with the design of proposed buildings, structures and
neighboring properties.
Page 13 of 47
• No external changes are proposed. However, the addition of bike racks will enhance
the ease of biking to the shopping center, which will help to alleviate the parking
demand.
• The arrangement of access (both vehicular and non-vehicular) and parking is
generally safe, convenient and compatible with surrounding properties.
f) Creation of an energy-conserving design through design, location, orientation and elevation of
structures, the use and location of glass in structures, and the use of landscape materials and site
grading.
• No external changes are proposed.
g) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provisions for such matters
as surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light and air, and those
aspects of design, not adequately covered by other regulations, which may have substantial
effects on neighboring land uses.
• No external changes are proposed.

## Request for Review and Approval
## Anytime Fitness Relocation to Richfield Shoppes
## Dear City of Richfield Planning Staff,
My name is John Christopher, and I am the CEO of Baleo Fitness, an Anytime Fitness franchise operator.
We currently operate 13 Anytime Fitness clubs across the Twin Cities, and we take pride in creating
community-based coaching gyms that support the health and wellness of the neighborhoods we serve.
We are submitting this application in connection with the relocation of our existing Richfield Anytime
Fitness location. Unfortunately, the lease for our current club located in the Richfield Target Plaza will be
ending on June 1, which would otherwise leave approximately 700 local members without a home gym
and disrupt the jobs of our local team.
Our goal is to relocate the club to Suite 6503 within Richfield Shoppes, a space previously occupied by
Xfinity. The proposal involves no expansion of the building, no parking variance and no changes to the
site, simply the replacement of an existing tenant within the shopping center.
We are hopeful to move this process forward as efficiently as possible so we can open the new location by
June 1 and provide continuity for both our members and our team. Maintaining that continuity is
extremely important to us and to the community we serve.
We appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to working with the City of Richfield
throughout the review process.
Warm regards,
## John Christopher

## 1.0 Executive Summary
Westwood Professional Services, Inc. (Westwood) has been retained by Baleo Fitness to prepare
a Parking Analysis for the Richfield Shoppes located at the northeast quadrant of the intersection
of E 66
th
Street and Nicollet Avenue in Richfield, MN. The Richfield Shoppes project includes
Anytime Fitness replacing an existing unit within Richfield Shoppes.
This report includes an analysis of the existing parking needs for Richfield Shoppes.
This analysis was conducted utilizing the Institute of Transportation Engineering (ITE) Parking
Generation Manual, 6th Generation and following the City of Richfield Zoning Codes.
## FINDING:
The existing Richfield Shoppes does not meet the minimum parking demand as defined
by ITE rates or minimum parking demand as defined by the City of Richfield Zoning Code
when analyzing for full occupancy.
The Richfield Shoppes Peak Hour from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm demands more parking stalls
than the 210 stalls currently available for both ITE and City code when analyzing for full
occupancy.
Richfield Shoppes Peak Hour (1:00 – 2:00 pm) Parking Stall Demand
## Method Peak Hour Demand Deficit
## City Code 255 45 Stalls
ITE 211 1 Stall
## FINDING:
The proposed Anytime Fitness has a weekday peak hour of 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm. During
this peak hour, Richfield Shoppes has a surplus of parking stalls when including the
Anytime Fitness and using City and ITE rates.
Since the peak hour of Anytime Fitness does not overlap with the overall peak hour of the
development, Anytime Fitness is not expected to negatively impact the parking demand at
Richfield Shoppes.
Anytime Fitness Peak Hour (5:00 – 6:00 pm) Parking Stall Demand
## Method Peak Hour Demand Surplus
## City Code 200 10 Stalls
ITE 177 33 Stalls
## FINDING:
Anytime Fitness does not change the parking demand for Richfield Shoppes at full
occupancy compared to the previous Xfinity store.

## 2.2 Land Use Data
The existing Richfield Shoppes is a mixed-use development consisting of approximately 57,145 SF
of retail and 9,172 SF of second and third floor office space. Currently, approximately 8,000 SF of
retail and 3,200 SF of second and third floor office space is vacant. The site also contains a Dairy
Queen restaurant in a separate building located in the southeast corner of the property that
provides “walk-up” window service and does not have indoor customer seating areas.
The proposed Anytime Fitness is looking to move into 6503 Nicollet Avenue, which was most
recently occupied by Xfinity within Richfield Shoppes. The space is 3,911 SF.
## 2.2.1 Richfield Zoning Code
Subsection 544.13 of the Richfield Zoning Code discusses vehicle parking requirements for off-
street parking (Appendix A). The number of parking stalls required is categorized by different
## Site Location
Page 24 of 47
Parking Analysis| Richfield Shoppes March 11, 2026

land uses. Per discussion with the City of Richfield, the first floor of Richfield Shoppes should be
considered the shopping center, while the second and third floor should be considered office
space. Within Subsection 544.13 Subd. 6, parking requirements are separated by subcategories
for Office, Shopping Center, and Restaurants.
The main floor of Richfield Center is classified as Shopping Center – Regional (over 50,000 SF),
with the exception of one restaurant. The restaurant does not meet the requirements described
by the City Zoning Code to be included in the Shopping Center land use and is therefore classified
as Class I & II Restaurants. The Dairy Queen is included within the Shopping Center.
The second and third floor of Richfield Shoppes is classified as Office – Floor Area of Less than
50,000 Square Feet.
See Table 2.2 for a summary of the land use.
## 2.2.2 ITE Land Use Code
ITE describes the Land Use Code (LUC) 821 – Shopping Plaza (40-150k) as “an integrated group
of commercial establishments planned, developed, owned, and managed as a unit.” The land use
has a subcategory of including or not including a supermarket and “common tenants include
office space, a movie theater, restaurants, a post office, banks, a health club, and recreational
facilities.” The first, second, and third floors of Richfield Shoppes will be classified as LUC 821 –
Shopping Plaza (40-150k) – Without Supermarket.
ITE describes LUC 933 – Fast-Food Restaurant without Drive-Through Window as including “any
fast-food restaurant without a drive-through window” and the “limited-service eating
establishments do not offer table service.” The Dairy Queen will be classified as LUC 933 – Fast-
Food Restaurant without Drive-Through Window.
See Table 2.2 for a summary of the land use.
## 2.2.3 Land Use Data Summary
The land uses and associated addresses for Richfield Shoppes described in Section 2.2.1,
Section 2.2.2 are summarized in Table 2.2. Business names, square footage, and hours of
operation were provided by Mid-America Real Estate – Minnesota, LLC.

## 3.0 Shared Parking Analysis
A Shared Parking Analysis should be conducted when a site has a mixture of different land uses
to determine if the peak parking demands for the various on-site land uses conflict or complement
each other. Shared parking occurs when the same parking area services two or more land uses
without conflict. The success of shared parking relies on the variations of parking demands
between the site’s individual land uses, as well as the relationships between the individual land
uses that allow motorists to visit more than one land use during a single visit to the site and/or
visit different land uses at different times of the day.
Baleo Fitness provided one year of data for visits to their existing Richfield location. The weekday
peak hours for their existing location were calculated to be 6:00 am – 7:00 am and 5:00 pm –
6:00 pm, with the highest visits seen on Tuesday. The weekend peak hour is 9:00 – 10:00 am,
where Saturday is more popular than Sunday.
Table 3.1 below shows a time chart for the hours of operation for each business in Richfield
Shoppes.
ITE provides time-of-day parking distributions for certain land uses, which is utilized within this
report to anticipate the peak hour of each land use.
Understanding the time-of-day parking demand distribution will help to determine if the peak
parking demand of the proposed Anytime Fitness overlaps with the peak parking demand of the
existing shopping center. The time-of-day distribution for Richfield Shoppes’ parking demand
was determined by applying the most appropriate ITE parking time-of-day distribution to the
land uses associated with the city’s parking requirements.

## 3.1 City of Richfield Zoning Code
Richfield, Minnesota’s Zoning Code includes parking standards in Subsection 544.13 and can be
found in Appendix A. Parking rates were calculated for the land uses described in Section
2.2.1. The off-street parking requirements for Shopping Center, Class I & II Restaurants, and
Office are prescribed within the zoning code. It should be noted that the City Zoning Code allows
for a decrease in 10% of the parking required when the location is in close proximity to an active
transit line. The reduction applies to this development.
The parking demand was then applied to the most appropriate ITE time-of-day parking
distributions to calculate the parking demand of the entire parking lot: Shopping Center utilized
ITE LUC 820 – Shopping Center, Class I & II Restaurants utilized ITE LUC 932 – High-Turnover
(Sit Down) Restaurant, and Office utilized ITE LUC 710 – General Office Building.
Table 3.2 shows the parking demand based on the City of Richfield’s Zoning Code, the demand
parking of Richfield Shoppes throughout the day, and the stall surplus/deficit for each hour.
## Parking Demand
Based on City Zoning Code, Richfield Shoppes has a demand of 261 parking stalls.
Richfield Shoppes currently has 210 parking stalls (Figure 2).
## Parking Lot Surplus/Deficit
When breaking out the development by land use and associated peak hour:
• the peak parking demand of Richfield Shoppes at full occupancy is 1:00 pm – 2:00
pm at 255 stalls, with a deficit of 45 stalls
• the parking demand for the peak hour of Anytime Fitness, from 5:00 pm – 6:00
pm is 200 stalls, which is a 10-stall surplus.
Page 29 of 47

## 3.2 ITE Parking Generation
ITE Parking Generation rates were utilized for the two land uses described in Section 2.2.2, and
the demand was applied to the ITE time-of-day parking distributions to calculate the parking
demand of the entire lot: ITE LUC 821 – Shopping Plaza utilized ITE LUC 820 – Shopping Center
as there is not available time-of-day data for ITE LUC 821, ITE LUC 933 – Fast-Food Restaurant
without Drive-Through Window utilized ITE LUC 934 – Fast-Food Restaurant with Drive-
Through Window as there is not available time-of-day data for ITE LUC 933.
Table 3.3 shows the parking demand calculated based on ITE resources, the parking demand of
Richfield Shoppes throughout the day, and the stall surplus/deficit for each hour. The peak
parking demand of Richfield Shoppes at full occupancy is 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm and does not conflict
with the peak hour of Anytime Fitness from 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm.
## Parking Demand
Utilizing ITE Parking Generation rates, Richfield Shoppes has a demand of 212 parking
stalls. Richfield Shoppes currently has 210 parking stalls (Figure 2).
## Parking Lot Surplus/Deficit
When breaking out the development by land use and associated peak hour:
• the peak parking demand of Richfield Shoppes at full occupancy is 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
at 211 stalls, with a deficit of 1 stall.
• the parking demand for the peak hour of Anytime Fitness, from 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm is
177 stalls, which is a 33-stall surplus.

## Parking Analysis| Richfield Shoppes March 11, 2026

4.0 Conclusion
Westwood Professional Services, Inc. (Westwood) has been retained by Baleo Fitness to prepare
a Parking Analysis for the Richfield Shoppes located at the northeast quadrant of the intersection
of E 66
th
Street and Nicollet Avenue in Richfield, MN. The Richfield Shoppes project includes
Anytime Fitness replacing an existing unit within Richfield Shoppes.
This report includes an analysis of the existing parking needs for Richfield Shoppes.
This analysis was conducted utilizing the Institute of Transportation Engineering (ITE) Parking
Generation Manual, 6th Generation and following the City of Richfield Zoning Codes.
## FINDING:
The existing Richfield Shoppes does not meet the minimum parking demand as defined
by ITE rates or minimum parking demand as defined by the City of Richfield Zoning Code
when analyzing for full occupancy.
The Richfield Shoppes Peak Hour from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm demands more parking stalls
than the 210 stalls currently available for both ITE and City code when analyzing for full
occupancy.
Richfield Shoppes Peak Hour (1:00 – 2:00 pm) Parking Stall Demand
## Method Peak Hour Demand Deficit
## City Code 255 45 Stalls
ITE 211 1 Stall
## FINDING:
The proposed Anytime Fitness has a weekday peak hour of 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm. During
this peak hour, Richfield Shoppes has a surplus of parking stalls when including the
Anytime Fitness and using City and ITE rates.
Since the peak hour of Anytime Fitness does not overlap with the overall peak hour of the
development, Anytime Fitness is not expected to negatively impact the parking demand at
Richfield Shoppes.
Anytime Fitness Peak Hour (5:00 – 6:00 pm) Parking Stall Demand
## Method Peak Hour Demand Surplus
## City Code 200 10 Stalls
ITE 177 33 Stalls
