| Review and Recommendation: |
Move Human Performance is located within an existing 4,254 square foot suite located on the north side of the building. Access to Move Human Performance will be provided directly from the parking lot. Move Human Performance currently provides post-rehab care, spinal cord injury long term care, sports performance classes, and appointment-only fitness training. The use fits under the medical office for outpatient services.
A Use Permit is required for a medical office for outpatient care in Planned Industrial zoned districts. The previous use permit approval in 2021 included a five-year time condition to evaluate the long-term compatibility with surrounding businesses. During this time, there have been no negative reports associated with this use. The proposed use permit will maintain the same hours of operation and activities. All activities occur indoors and on-site parking is adequate.
Planning staff has reviewed the request and finds it to be consistent with the General Plan and the applicable zoning. The sports therapy and training facility (medial office) use is a compatible land use with the surrounding industrial development.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval with no time limit subject to conditions. |
| Public / Neighborhood Notification |
- This request was noticed in accordance with the requirements of the Chandler Zoning Code.
- A written notice was mailed to affected landowners under the alternative citizen review process and posted on social media via NextDoor.
- As of the writing of this memo, Planning staff is not aware of any opposition to the request.

| Planning and Zoning Commission Vote Report |
Planning and Zoning Commission meeting March 18, 2026.
Motion to Approve.
In Favor: 7 Opposed: 0
Planning and Zoning Commission added stipulation number 6 which shall void this use permit and require a new use permit approval if there is a change in business ownership. The addition of this stipulation will allow the city to confirm that the business continues to be a compatible land use with the surrounding area if there are any changes in operation. |
| Recommended Conditions of Approval |
Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the City Council approve the Rezoning from PAD for specialty retail to PAD for single-family subdivision, subject to the following conditions:
- Substantial expansion or modification beyond the approved exhibits (Site Plan, Floor Plan, and Narrative) shall void the Use Permit and require new Use Permit application and approval.
- The use permit is non-transferrable to other locations.
- Use permit does not constitute Final Development Plan approval; compliance with the details required by all applicable codes and conditions of the City of Chandler and this Use Permit shall apply.
- All pedestrian walkways shall be A.D.A accessible and shall not be interrupted by any obstacles preventing circulations (i.e. persons with disabilities shall have direct access to all indoor and outdoor pedestrian spaces).
- The site shall be maintained in a clean and orderly manner.
- Any change in business ownership shall void this use permit and shall require a new use permit application and approval by the City of Chandler.
