I generally agree that standard business plans are useless.

However, if the sponsors/members are asking for a "Business Plan", you
might want to give them a document that is "What a Hackerspace Is" +
Budget.  As was previously noted, it's good to have a narrative for
things, especially if you are going to file for 501(c)(x) status.
