ATTACHMENT 6 FINDINGS The Planning Commission needs to make the following findings prior to granting the conditional use permit for the proposed business: 1. 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. Objectives of the Zoning Ordinance include: fostering a harmonious, convenient, workable relationship among land uses; protecting existing land use from inharmonious influences and harmful intrusions; and ensuring that public and private lands ultimately are used for the purposes which are most appropriate and beneficial to the City as a whole. The proposed martial arts school would provide instruction lessons to local children and adults along with providing other child related martial arts services. The City has allowed similar uses to be located in industrial and office areas. Staff is not aware that any of these teaching or child care- oriented businesses has created any impacts on surrounding businesses. Similar to other requests and in an effort to be consistent, it appears that the martial arts may be considered compatible with surrounding uses. The subject building is located in Valley Business Park, which is located in a Planned Unit Development -Industrial (PUD-I) District, and is intended to provide sites for industrial uses, neighborhood and support commercial uses, and office uses. Given the scale of the operation, and its location, the proposed use would be compatible with surrounding uses. However, there are problems with the current application as it relates to parking and circulation. The Academy will have 2 instructors including the owner/applicant, up to 20 children, and up to 10 adults. Staff believes that this use is not compatible with surrounding uses because of the lack of parking and circulation issues. Although this issue could be resolved, if the Academy reduced the maximum number of adult students to 6, that is not the application pending before the Commission. For the reasons stated above, staff believes that this finding cannot be made as the application is currently proposed. 2. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity.
