of a dance school in an existing tenant space on property owned by
Mr. Joseph Castello located at 2385 S. Winchester Boulevard in a

Mr. Geoff I. Bradley, Senior Planner, presented the staff report as follows:
· Advised that the applicant is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the
establishment of a dance school within an existing commercial building at the Campbell
Plaza Shopping Center. The tenant space consists of 800 square feet, located at the rear of
the property, facing Nido Drive.
· Described the dance school as consisting of 6 to 18 students with one instructor. The
operational hours will be from 3:30 to 10:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 10
a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.
· Stated that the shared parking provided for Campbell Plaza consists of 777 while only 634
are required. Therefore there is a surplus of 143, making this a well parked shopping
center.

modifications are proposed. Staff has conditioned the property owner to see to the clear
up of exterior storage outside the rear portion of the Safeway.
