Gym at 1014 Walt Williams Road seeks parking waiver

Where it is. On Walt Williams Road in south Lakeland.

A gym operating at 1014 Walt Williams Road since approximately 2017 has requested a waiver to use one paved handicap spot and 11 grass parking spots instead of the standard paved lot required by code.

The operator of a personal services gym at 1014 Walt Williams Road filed for a land development review to verify the facility's permitted use and clarify parking requirements. The gym has been in operation since approximately 2017.

In October 2025, the operator requested a waiver from Section 709 of the Land Development Code for the parking area design, seeking approval for one paved handicap spot and 11 grass parking spots with stops. Both the site-plan review and the waiver request have been closed as complete.

What happens next

The waiver has been processed and closed. The facility continues operations.
