NEGATIVE DECLARATION.
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
