The project site has a special circumstance related to its <br />size, shape and location. Due to its location, there is no <br />feasible option for providing additional parking for the health <br />club. The number of on-site parking spaces on the site will <br />be sufficient to accommodate all uses as the Parking <br />Analysis for the project has determined that a surplus of <br />parking spaces will be provided for the project during times <br />of peak demand. As a result, the parking variance will allow <br />the applicant the ability to use the property in a manner that <br />is consistent with similar surrounding commercial uses. <br />2. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation <br />and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. <br />The granting of the variance is necessary for the <br />preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights. <br />The granting of the parking variance will preserve the <br />property owner's ability to lease the building to a use that will <br />identify the site as an economically viable development. <br />Policy 2.2 of the Land Use element supports commercial <br />uses that accommodate the City's needs for goods and <br />services. <br />3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to <br />the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. <br />The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental <br />to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property as <br />the parking analysis for the project has noted that the site <br />will have sufficient parking to accommodate the various uses <br />during the peak parking hours. Therefore, the reduction in <br />parking will not be detrimental to the surrounding community <br />as it will not result in parking impacts affecting adjacent <br />commercial or residential neighborhoods. Further, the site is <br />in compliance with all other development standards <br />applicable to the property. <br />4. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General <br />Plan of the City. <br />The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the <br />General Plan of the City since the proposed health club use <br />is consistent with Goals 1 and 2 of the Land Use Element of <br />the General Plan. These goals encourage uses such as <br />Gold's Gym that promote a balance of land uses to address <br />basic community needs and which enhance the City's <br />economic and fiscal viability. <br />Resolution No. 2011- <br />75A-56 Page 2 of 6
