the south side of the campus. At this time Bethel is proposing to construct the fitness center, <br /> but in a different location than was previously anticipated, and with a broader array of <br /> services and amenities related to the overall wellness of the students. Because the location <br /> and size of the project are being adjusted from what was included in the 1996 Master Plan, a <br /> CUP Amendment is necessary. Furthermore, the maximum height allowed for buildings in <br /> the B-1 District is 35 feet. A variance is needed to allow the building to be constructed at a <br /> height of 39 feet, six inches. <br /> As part of the application, Bethel University is also proposing adjustments to the timing and <br /> location of the temporary classrooms that are located in the general area of the proposed <br /> wellness center. Two of the four classrooms are proposed to be relocated to the parking area <br /> on the north side of the Community Life Center, while the other two would remain in their <br /> current configuration. Upon completion of Phase II all four temporary classrooms would be <br /> removed. <br /> The applicant has submitted an application,project description, narrative, a site plan, <br /> elevations,and site survey (Attachments B and E). <br /> 2.
