Dear Ms. Armer,
Thank you again for your communication throughout this process. Following my get together at The Club at Los Gatos
with local business owners and residents, visiting downtown businesses to speak with management and owners, and
having the opportunity to hear comments from the community, I have grown to understand what issues are of concern
to the appellant and his supporters. I remain confident in our ability and promise to be a good neighbor.
The nature of The Club’s business model focuses on both small-group fitness classes and individual fitness programs. We
simply do not see the large number of participants that other class-only models in our industry experience. I have heard
concerns regarding the impact and ability to cycle available parking spaces, but the flow of member check-ins is not
heavily impacted by the small-group class schedule. The Club at Los Gatos has crafted our model to be as
accommodating to our current members as possible while clearly and comfortably staying within the code and
regulations of occupancy at 66 E. Main St. The Club at Los Gatos appreciates the set and setting we will find ourselves in
at 66 E. Main St. and we will comply with ALL code and Conditional Use Permit definitions. In addition we are leaving our
current parking lot open at 285 East Main St., and will be incentivizing members to park and walk to 66 through our
Perkville member rewards.
I also want to clarify that the outdoor space under the canopy is and has always been of interest to The Club for use. Due
to its slope and incline what we are able to do outside is limited, but allowing members to bring out equipment such as a
stationary bike or mats to stretch would be a great usage of the shaded area and fresh air. We will not have amplified
sound outside. I have worked very closely with Melissa Thomas for example, owner of the Garden Inn, to ensure she is
understanding, trusting and comfortable with our intended use with the outdoor space.
I ask that the occupancy limitations defined throughout the Conditional Use Permit process remain the guiding factor,
allowing The Club the flexibility needed to best service our members while remaining committed to being the best
neighbor possible to residents and businesses alike.
All my best,
Alex Anderson
