In the present work we present a general framework which guarantees the existence of optimal domains for isoperimetric problems within the class of C^{1,1}-regular domains satisfying a uniform ball condition as long as the desired objective function satisfies certain properties. We then verify that the helicity isoperimetric problem studied by Cantarella, DeTurck, Gluck and Teytel in [J. Cantarella, DeTurck D., H. Gluck, and M. Teytel. Isoperimetric problems for the helicity ofvector fields and the Biot-Savart and curl operators. Journal of Mathematical Physics., 41:5615–5641, 2000] satisfies the conditions of our framework and hence establish the existence of optimal domains within the given class of domains. We additionally use the same framework to prove the existence of optimal domains among uniform C^{1,1}-domains for a first curl eigenvalue problem which has been studied recently for other classes of domains in [A. Enciso, W. Gerner, and D. Peralta-Salas. Optimal convex domains for the first curl eigenvaluein dimension three. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., in press, 2023].
