Clark Robinson is proposing to bring the first inclined indoor wingsuit concept to the United States. The project, located at 2959 North Triumph Boulevard, involves a request for a conditional use and a concept exception.
Under the current proposal, indoor wingsuit flying would be classified as a commercial entertainment facility. Because this is a conditional use in the existing commercial zone, the Planning Commission has the authority to implement conditions to mitigate potential noise or other negative impacts.
Robinson stated that the noise generated by the business would be less than the noise produced by the neighboring I-15. He also noted that traffic and parking issues are not expected to be a concern.
The proposal includes a request for an exception to the 40% glass requirement for the building's first floor facing the frontage road and Triumph Boulevard. Robinson provided justification for this request, stating that the wind tunnel machinery is located on the first floor.
According to the proposal, the machinery is not aesthetically pleasing. Additionally, Robinson stated that placing it next to glass would reduce structural integrity and create a greater noise impact.
The Planning Commission is scheduled to vote on the requested exception.
