Chair Allen asked Commissioner Ritter if, putting aside his earlier comment that communication could have been better up front, he could support the project based on new information. Commissioner Ritter replied that the Commission's job is not to pick the business that goes in the space but to zone for it and to make sure the uses are conditional. He stated that he believes the applicant has met the zoning requirements, but as Mr. Dolan had expressed, it might be necessary to add some sound - proofing, just like what the Commission has done with some other projects in the past, then check back with the Commission in 60 days. He added that nevertheless, the owners still have to get along with one another. Commissioner Balch noted that looking at the proposed floor plan, the rooms that share a common wall are offices; the media room is located in the interior, and the exercise room is at the front near the reception area, which shares a small wall with the neighbor. He stated that he believes the applicant has met the elements and could see this passing with possibly an additional condition to mitigate the noise situation. He indicated that he was not interested in a 60 -day look back. Commissioner O'Connor agreed. He stated that the project has adequate conditions so there should not be any problems; and should one arise, staff has the ability to work with the tenant, and if that cannot be worked out, staff can always bring it back to the Commission and add conditions or some improvements. He pointed out that staff has noted that noise could be an issue since there are common walls and that he would hate to load a lot of costs on the tenant in the anticipation there might be a problem. He added that he would rather wait and see if any problem that arises could be dealt with it expeditiously. He stated that he could support the project with its conditions as it is a compatible use that is within the zoning. Chair Allen stated that she also feels the project is appropriate and consistent with other approvals the Commission has done with other facilities. She added that it meets the test and requirements and can be brought back to the Commission if there are any future issues. Commissioner O'Connor moved to make the required Conditional Use findings as described in the staff report and to approve Case P15 -0008, subject to the Conditions of Approval listed in Exhibit A of the staff report. Commissioner Balch seconded the motion.
