Council grants conditional-use permit to expand Create Healthy wellness center at 1006 State Highway 16

The Fredericksburg City Council granted a conditional-use permit (Ordinance 2025-34) allowing Create Healthy to enlarge an existing legal nonconforming personal-improvement services and indoor sports/recreation facility at 1006 South State Highway 16.

Applicant and staff
Representatives for Create Healthy explained the project scope as an expansion and renovation of the existing facility to better serve users; planning staff said the property has two underlying zoning districts (C-2 in front and public facilities in the rear) and that the conditional-use permit allows the expansion of the nonconforming use under the current code while ensuring dimensional standards are satisfied. Planning staff said the applicant worked with the Planning & Zoning Commission, which recommended approval; the Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a related parking variance and the P&Z added a condition requiring an agreement to secure needed off-site parking.

Council action and vote
The council opened and closed the public hearing and approved the ordinance granting the conditional-use permit. The roll-call outcome recorded in the transcript shows majority support; one council member recorded a vote in opposition during the final tally.
