Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2011-02 Variance No. 2011-03 March 28, 2011 Page 2 Protect Description The proposed project consists of interior tenant improvements to an existing building to allow a Gold's Gym facility. As stated previously, Gold's Gym will be occupying approximately 42,770 square feet of floor space within the two-story building, comprised of 4,800 square feet on the ground floor and the entire 37,970 square foot second floor. Within the first floor, an entry lobby, retail space, a reception area, a childcare center and office space will be provided. The second floor will consist of the health club functions and will include areas for free weights, circuit training, cardio fitness equipment, aerobics rooms and men's and women's showers and lockers. An outdoor pool, surrounded by a six foot high block wall, will be provided at the rear of the building. No other exterior improvements are proposed. Primary access to the project will be provided from the existing driveways on Seventeenth Street (Exhibits 3, 4 and 5). Proiect Background In 1997, a general plan amendment, zone change, conditional use permit and variance were approved to allow the construction of The Home Place Shopping Center, a five building retail and restaurant center. The approvals allowed the development of an Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH) building, a Carl's Jr. Restaurant and a multi-tenant retail building containing a bank, yogurt shop and preschool uses. In 2008, the building that would house the proposed Gold's Gym building was constructed as the final phase of the retail center. Since its opening in 2009, the building has been partially occupied by various restaurant uses. In 2009, a Buffalo Wild Wings facility was approved and intended to occupy approximately 6,000 square feet of the first floor of the building; however, due to a change in the economy, the restaurant was never built. General Plan and Zoning Analysis The General Plan land use designation for the site is General Commercial (GC), which allows for commercial and office uses. General Commercial Districts are primarily located on commercial corridors and major arterial roadways in the City. They provide accessible commercial development along the City's arterials as well as provide support facilities and services, including offices, restaurants and various other services. The project is consistent with this General Plan land use designation. The subject site is located in the Arterial Commercial (C5) zoning district. The C5 zone is a limited commercial zone that allows for certain commercial and office uses, but does not allow health clubs and/or gymnasiums. If the zoning ordinance amendment is approved, the proposed use will become consistent with the zoning. 75A-4
