Item <br /> <br />City <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Co~, cil. <br />Michele McPherso~irector <br /> <br />of Planning <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />July 15, 2002 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Case No. OA 02-03 <br />Amend Business Park Conditional Uses to Allow Fitness <br />And Training Facilities <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />The City Council is asked to consider an ordinance amendment allowing fitness and training <br />facilities as a conditional use within the Business Park District. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Existing Ordinance Language <br />Proposed Ordinance Language <br />Ordinance No. 02- <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The City Council, approve an interim use permit for a gymnastics training facility in May. <br />The Council then directed staff to prepare an ordinance amendment to allow such uses as <br />conditional in the Business Park District for review by the Planning Commission and the <br />Economic Development Authority. <br /> <br />Analysis <br /> <br />Staff recommended denial of the gymnastics training facility, as a logical connection could <br />not be made between vocational, technical and trade schools and a gymnastics training <br />facility. The purpose of the Business Park District, as noted in the attached ordinance, is to <br />generate jobs and expand the City's employment base. It is unclear as to how a fitness and <br />athletic training center can meet this purpose. They do serve to provide some level of <br />employment and provide a tenant to fill multi-tenant facilities that may be constructed in <br />either the West or East Business Park. <br /> <br /> <br />
