MEETING DATE: 11/13/2019 ITEM NO: 7
DATE: October 30, 2019
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Joel Paulson, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Application U-19-010. Project Location: 66 E. Main
Street. Property Owner: Jane Thomas Living Trust. Applicant: Alex
Anderson.
Three-month status report on a Conditional Use Permit for a non-formula
private sports recreation club offering group classes and facilities for private
fitness workout on property zoned C-2. APN 529-29-049.
BACKGROUND:
On July 10, 2019, the Planning Commission voted to approve the Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
application with modifications to the conditions of approval. The additional conditions of
approval on the CUP included a requirement for a three-month administrative review by the
Community Development Director that would include a status report to the Planning
Commission.
DISCUSSION:
On Wednesday, August 14, 2019, the Community Development Department received
correspondence (Exhibit 3) expressing concern about a portable toilet onsite and the reface of
the existing monument sign. The portable toilet was on site because of construction required
to repair a broken sewer line, and was removed the following Friday. The applicant has applied
for and received a sign permit approving the reface of the existing wall and monument signs.
On Thursday, October 3, 2019, the Community Development Department received a complaint
for a gas leaf blower. As stated in the applicant’s letter (Exhibit 2), the use of the gas leaf
blower was part of a one-time installation for outdoor turf, and has ceased. This complaint has
been resolved.

letter stating that they have not received any complaints regarding business operations or
compliance with the CUP (Exhibit 2).
CONCLUSION:
Based on the information in this report, staff recommends accepting this report in accordance
with Condition of Approval 8, and finding that the business is in compliance with their CUP.
