Jason and Kayla Jensen seek rezoning to expand Enzo Athletic Performance in North Platte

In a heartfelt appeal to the North Platte Planning Commission, Jason and Kayla Jensen, owners of Enzo Athletic Performance, presented their vision for a new wellness center aimed at enhancing community health and family fitness. The Jensens, who have been integral to the North Platte community for over a decade, are seeking to rezone properties located at 801 to 807 South Elm from residential to health-focused use.

With a history of growth from a modest 1,500 square feet and 35 members in 2014 to a thriving facility serving 240 members today, the Jensens emphasized their commitment to not just fitness, but also nutrition coaching, youth development, and community involvement. Their proposal includes a state-of-the-art facility of 6,000 to 7,000 square feet, designed to accommodate simultaneous classes for families, thereby promoting health as a shared family value.

The Jensens highlighted their proactive approach to community concerns, addressing potential issues such as traffic and lighting. They assured the commission that their facility would not operate 24/7, with peak hours generating minimal traffic and ample on-site parking exceeding city requirements. The design plans aim to harmonize with the existing neighborhood, ensuring that the new building complements the character of the area rather than disrupt it.

In their closing remarks, the Jensens expressed their desire to create a positive impact on North Platte, not only by providing a dedicated space for health and wellness but also by generating local employment opportunities and offering unique youth programs. Their vision reflects a deep commitment to fostering a healthier community, making the case for the rezoning as a step toward a brighter, healthier future for families in North Platte.
