After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the City Planner has determined that the four findings required for granting a Minor Conditional Use Permit can be made and therefore, APPROVES this request based on the following findings and conditions. Findings: 1. That the requested use is necessary or desirable for the development of the community, and is in harmony with the various elements and objectives of the general plan, including, if applicable, the certified local coastal program, specific plan or master plan in that the proposed personal training gym will serve a commercial need of employees in the industrial park by providing a recreational facility within close proximity. The proposed personal training gym is consistent with the General Plan, in that the Planned Industrial (P-M) zone, which implements the Planned Industrial (PI) General Plan land use designation, allows personal training gyms as a conditionally permitted use. 2. That the requested use is not detrimental to existing uses or to uses specifically permitted in the zone in which the proposed use is to be located in that the proposed personal training gym is a conditionally permitted use in the Planned Industrial (P-M) zone and is compatible with surrounding uses. The personal training gym requires no changes to the existing site design, except for minor tenant improvements to an existing tenant space. The existing industrial complex provides adequate parking on-site (including the 16 spaces required by the personal training gym) and the site provides for adequate traffic circulation. · ·· .
