Haus of Athletes at Funhouse Plaza

Salem

Summary

A scheduled-classes fitness facility is moving into the old Zezo's Dollar space at 291 South Broadway, bringing youth and adult athletic programs to town. The board approved it with a parking permit for 236 spaces instead of the 409 zoning would normally require, betting on the gym's low parking demand.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

The owner must fund an escrow account for a possible post-occupancy traffic study, but no town cost is identified.

✅Who benefits

Families and athletes get a new youth-focused training facility, and the plaza owner fills a long-vacant space.

⚠️Who could be affected

Nearby tenants could see tighter parking if the gym draws more heavily than projected, though counts show ample capacity.
