CUP 2026-0002 (DEV2026-0005) – ACTIV8 ATHLETIC CLUB

The project seeks approval for a Minor Conditional Use Permit to transform a 16,000-square-foot portion of an industrial building at 2080 Las Palmas Drive in Carlsbad, California, into a full-service athletic club featuring gymnasiums, a health club, and physical conditioning facilities, along with a recovery center. The space is currently an office-warehouse use within a 25,295-square-foot building designated under the city’s Planned Industrial (PI) land use and P-M zoning, which permits industrial activities but requires conditional approval for new commercial fitness uses. The applicant intends to operate a personal training facility targeting individual and group wellness programs, with equipment and infrastructure designed for athletic performance and post-exercise recovery. The permit application, identified as CUP 2026-0002, is being processed by the City of Carlsbad and was posted on May 27, 2026, as a forecasted action. The point of contact for city review is Assistant Planner Tate Hillmann, with Jana Moreno of Activ8 Athletic Club serving as the project manager. The site is located in ZIP code 92008 and falls within the jurisdiction of California state regulations. While no solicitation number or NAICS code is provided, the application is accessible through the city’s CEQA Net portal, indicating environmental review procedures may be triggered. Approval will depend on compliance with zoning conditions, operational hours, noise control, parking adequacy, and mitigation of potential impacts on neighboring industrial uses.
