SUBJECT: MINOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. MCUP 14-14 ANYWHERE GYM -Request for
approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit (MCUP 14-14) to allow for a personal training
gym at 3129 Tiger Run Court, Suites A115 and A116, in the Planned Industrial (P-M) Zone
and Local Facilities Management Zone 18.
Dear Ms. Weatherby,
The City Planner has completed a review of your application for a Minor Conditional Use Permit MCUP
14-14 for a personal training gym at 3129 Tiger Run Court, Suites A115 and A116. A notice was sent to
property owners within a 300' radius of the subject property requesting comments regarding the above
request. No comments were received within the ten day notice period (ending on October 17, 2014).
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.

3. That the site for the proposed conditional use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the
yards, setbacks, walls, fences, parking, loading facilities, buffer areas, landscaping and other
development features prescribed in this code and required by the City Planner in order to integrate
the use with other uses in the neighborhood in that the proposed personal training gym will
occupy a 3,209 square foot suite in an existing industrial building with existing on-site landscaping
and parking, and requires no site alterations. or additional amenities. Furthermore, the existing
building complies with all of the required development standards of the P-M zone and the 3,209
square foot lease space is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed personal
training gym as shown on Exhibits "A" -"D".
4. That the street system serving the proposed use is adequate to properly handle all traffic generated
by the proposed use in that the existing street system where the personal training gym is
, proposed to be located is adequate to accommodate to the 93 ADT generated by the proposed
use.
5. That the City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that the State
Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and it is
therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15301(a), Existing Facilities, of the state CEQA Guidelines. In
making this determination, the City Planner has found that the exceptions listed in Section 15300.2
of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project.
6. The City Planner has reviewed each of the exactions imposed on the Developer contained in this
letter, and hereby finds, in this case, that the exactions are imposed to mitigate impacts caused by
or reasonably related to the project, and the extent and the degree of the exaction is in rough
proportionality to the impact caused by the project.
