1. PLN2016-331 Public Hearing to consider the application of Carol Whitsett
for a Modification (PLN2016-331) to a term-limited
Conditional Use Permit (PLN2012-10) to extend the
approval period for an existing large fitness studio (Sedusa

action final unless appealed in writing to the City Clerk within
10 calendar days. Project Planner: Daniel Fama, Senior
Planner
Mr. Daniel Fama, Senior Planner, presented the staff report.
Chair Kendall asked if there were questions of staff.
Commissioner Rich asked if the tenant space is being shared with another use.
Planner Daniel Fama clarified that the hours of operation are different for both uses on
site but they don't share tenant space. The parking is shared.
Commissioner Rich asked if the Personal Fitness Studio approved about a block away
also has a limited five-year use permit. '
Planner Daniel Fama replied yes. All such uses in an industrial zoned property are
approved for up to five years only. Usually staff reminds the applicant when their five-
year approval needs to be renewed. In this case, the business owner proactively
sought her renewal.
