Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Receive and file the staff report approving Variance No. 2013-11 as conditioned. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION On September 23, 2013, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution approving Variance No. 2013-11 as conditioned to allow a reduction in required parking for Planet Fitness by a vote of 6:0 (Alderete absent) at the Floral Park Promenade retail center at 2725 North Bristol Street located in the Community Commercial (Cl) zoning district. The Planning Commission made no changes to the recommended conditions of approval outlined in the attached staff report (Exhibit A). DISCUSSION The approval of this project will allow for a vacant retail space at the Floral Park Promenade retail center to be re-tenanted with a new fitness facility, Planet Fitness. The project required a variance from the City's parking standards due to the fact that the space was originally constructed to a retail parking standard, which is much lower than the City's standards for fitness facilities. A parking study was performed to assess whether there would be any impacts resulting from the reduction in parking and it was determined that there would still be adequate parking to serve the entire center even at peak use times. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
