CUP No. 2017-18 July 24, 2017 Page 3 growing demand for recreational activities and the limited park area provided within the City, the City Council amended the Municipal Code to allow indoor sports facilities within the Light Industrial (M-1) zoning district subject to compliance with certain development standards and with a conditional use permit. These development standards included parking, limiting the hours of operation, and limiting the number and type of uses that would be permitted under the definition of indoor sports facilities. The subject property is in compliance with applicable development standards. Additionally, appropriate conditions of approval will ensure it remains in compliance with the indoor sports facilities section of the Municipal Code and does not become an attractive nuisance or disrupt the surrounding tenants within the center. The indoor sport facility at this location supports several General Plan policies such as promoting a balance of land uses to address basic community needs, such as physical activity; enhancing the City's economic and fiscal viability; promoting the rehabilitation of commercial properties; and encouraging increased levels of capital investment. The project will include significant new investment and tenant improvements to a site that has remained vacant since the previous tenant relocated from the site more than four years ago. The project will provide a service that will contribute to the community. The facility is a commercial recreational facility that will provide additional recreational opportunities to residents and visitors of the City. Further, the business will provide additional employment opportunities for residents that live in the City. The facility will not be detrimental to persons residing or working in the area as it is located within an area of the City that is predominantly industrial in nature; no sensitive land uses are located nearby. Further, improvements to the site that will bring the site into compliance with applicable disability act standards have been completed. Finally, conditions have been placed on the project that will address any negative or adverse impacts created by the use that could otherwise affect the health, safety, or general welfare of the surrounding businesses.
