The proposed self-defense/martial arts studio would provide physical conditioning and self-defense services that would be available to the community. Additionally, the proposed self-defense/martial arts studio would add to the economic vitality ofthe Hopyard Village Shopping Center, possibly contributing patronage to other businesses. The conditions of approval for the project give the City the appropriate controls to ensure that the use does not have any negative impacts on the surrounding businesses and properties.
