The Crown Point planning panel voted to send a favorable recommendation to the city council for petition 25‑27 to allow Lenny’s Pilates, a fitness studio at 1849 East Summit Street, to operate in the B‑3 business zone.
Petitioner Ellen Sistaveras said she plans to offer reformer Pilates classes, private lessons, yoga and mixed workouts and described her operation as appointment‑based. Planning department staff reported the use is similar to approvals previously granted in the area and that notices had been mailed and published; staff recommended approval.
Board members asked about parking and expected class sizes. Sistaveras said the location has access to a “fairly large parking lot that’s shared by that strip of businesses” and that, at maximum, the studio would host about 20 people across rooms. The petitioner said most classes are 50–60 minutes and staggered, and she did not anticipate parking conflicts given appointment schedules.
A motion to send a favorable recommendation to the city council incorporating the submitted findings of fact carried in roll call. The petitioner was instructed to attend the city council meeting for final approval.
