A business owner is seeking approval from the city of Allen for a zoning change request for a dance studio on Main Street.
Allen’s Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the specific use permit to allow Bodies In: Motion to lease space at 515 W. Main St., Ste. 107, Allen.
The details
The applicant intends to lease the approximately 1,244-square-foot space to open a Pilates and dance studio, Senior Planner Nabiha Ahmed said.
The building is currently zoned for shopping center uses, and the Allen Development Land Code requires a specific use permit for fitness and health center businesses to operate at that location, according to city documents.
The fitness and health center use permit would be limited to Suite 107, and the remainder of the building will retain its current zoning type, Ahmed said.
A closer look
Owner Jennifer Milner specializes in training professional dancers through her business Bodies In: Motion, she said. The business will also offer group fitness classes by appointment, per city documents.
“We’re very excited about it,” Milner said.
Commission Chair Dan Metevier said this item will go before Allen City Council for final action at a May 12 meeting.
