Trustees approve small expansions for Arc Performance and America’s Gym
Summary
The board approved amendments to Arc Performance’s special use to allow additional instructional operators, and granted a special use to expand America’s Gym into an additional suite; both were recommended unanimously by the Planning Commission.
Trustees approved two land-use actions that will let local recreational providers expand operations.
Arc Performance at 650 Wheeling Road received approval to amend its special-use permit to allow up to three recreational and instructional operators on the site and to replace the prior floor plan with a revised tenant layout. Staff said the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval with six conditions, including assignment of addressing by the village and a six-month timeline to implement the revised floor plan.
America’s Gym won special-use approval to expand into an additional suite at 290 East Palatine Road. Planning staff said the Planning Commission recommended approval with three conditions: obtain a building permit prior to interior alterations, secure a new business license before commencing operations, and ensure all activities occur within the interior of the subject building. The gym’s owner, who identified himself as a Wheeling resident and retired Northbrook firefighter, said staffing and security cameras will cover both nonconjoined suites.
Both items passed on unanimous roll-call votes by trustees after motions to approve.
Why it matters: The approvals allow local recreation and fitness providers to expand services and tenant configurations under village oversight, while requiring building permits and licensing to ensure code compliance.
Next steps: Petitioners must obtain building permits and business licenses and implement the revised floor plans within the timelines set by the approvals.
Speakers recorded on these items include village planner (Clicker), Arc Performance representatives (not named in transcript), the owner of America’s Gym, and trustees including Trustee Krueger and Trustee Papantos.
