Planners OK Health Club for Women
Plans to put an 11,000-square-foot women’s health club into space once occupied by a drugstore at the Westlake Plaza Shopping Center have won approval from the Thousand Oaks Planning Commission.
“The issue was primarily the amount of parking availability,” said Commissioner Linda Parks.
Based on city codes, the Total Woman health club would require 75 parking spaces--30 more than a commercial retail facility of that size.
To ease parking in the already congested neighborhood mall--and to garner the commission’s approval Monday--the health club planners changed the entrance to the facility. The entrance to the former Thrifty drugstore faced to the west, but access to Total Woman will be from the east.
“They will use the parking lot on the east side of the building,” Parks said. “And that side is un-utilized.”
