Mr. Swift noted a revised layout was <br />distributed indicating the studio's new location in Suite 7.

Mr. Swift noted a new <br />condition was added that states any future changes in suite locations within the center may be <br />handled administratively by the Planning Director. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hovingh inquired if a martial arts studio had been previously approved in this <br />center.

He did not perceive a problem with starting <br />even earlier than 9 a.m., if so desired. <br /> <br />Regarding Condition 10, Chairman Wright inquired if there had been problems with <br />assigning parking spaces in this center. Mr. Swift advised this problem has not occurred in <br />this center, however, in other shopping centers, it is becoming common for store owners to <br />sign the spaces in front of their stores. Citing the Hopyard Village Center where cars are <br />being towed for parking violations, staff wants to make clear that this parking lot is for <br />common use. <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED <br /> <br />Ricardo Oliveira, 5719 Croydon Avenue, San Jose, represented his application and stated he <br />concurs with the staff report and conditions.
