PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. PC-2002-29 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF KIM FOX (CURVES FOR WOMEN) FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT APPROVAL, AS FILED UNDER CASE PCUP-56 WHEREAS, Kim Fox has applied for a conditional use permit to operate a women's fitness facility within an existing building located at 1991 Santa Rita Road, #I, within the Mission Plaza Shopping Center; and WHEREAS, zoning for the property is C-C (Central Commercial) District; and WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of May 14, 2002, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations of the City staff concerning this application; and WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: The proposed location of the conditional use is in accordance with the objectives of the zoning ordinance and the purpose of the district in which the site is located. The site of the proposed use is located in the C-C (Central Commercial) zoning district, which conditionally permits health clubs and similar businesses such as the proposed women's fitness and weight loss facility. One of the purposes of the Central Commercial district is to provide locations which offer commodities and services to the residents of Pleasanton. In the past, the Planning Commission approved a martial arts studio "Tae Kwon Do" (UP-95-72) in the same commercial building. The Planning Commission found the martial art studio was consistent with the C-C zoning district and an appropriate use for the Mission Plaza shopping center. The proposed facility's business operation is similaz to a maztial art studio in that both offer workout sessions; however, the nature of the proposed use is found to be less intense than the previously approved martial art studio in terms of the frequency of scheduled sessions, number of users/students, and hours of operation. Thus, the proposed use would have a minimal impact on other tenants in the shopping center.
