WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 19, 1989, and recommended that the City Council adopt the subject text amendment by adopting Resolution P.C. 89-71, and; WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, at their December 5, 1989 meeting, modified their recommendation regarding the parking requirement, and made the following findings: A. Gymnasiums and health and fitness centers are not any more intrusive than other uses allowed in the C-2, Restricted Commercial Zone; B. Because of the parking demand, the variety of the types of gymnasiums/health and fitness centers, and its possible impact on the character of C-2 zoned areas, a conditional use permit to establish this type of use should be required; C. By requiring parking at a ratio of 1 space per 50 square feet of gross floor area used for exercise classes, and 1 space per 100 square feet of remaining floor area, and requiring the review necessary of a Conditional Use Permit will mitigate any potential impacts associated with the parking demand or the intensity of a gymnasium/health and fitness center; D. The location of a gymnasium/health and fitness center in the C-2 zone is appropriate for C-2 areas within the City and -1 - i 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 would be compatible with surrounding commercial and residential uses; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission of the City of Hermosa Beach, California, does hereby modify Resolution P.C. 89-71, and recommend that the zoning ordinance text be amended as follows: 1.
