APPEAL OF ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE AND USE PERMIT FOR A HEALTH CLUB AND WAREHOUSE BUILDING WITH LESS THAN REQUIRED PARKING SPACE IN AN INDUSTRIAL RESTRICTED DISTRICT, 899 BROADWAY (GOLD'S GYM) - Robert Lasher, 909 Broadway, Appellant (603) LOCATION: 3899 Broadway; Lots land 2, Block 3, Redwood Industrial Tract No.1; APN 054-050-010; "lR" (Industrial Restricted) District Affidavits of Notice of Publication and Mailing are on file in the City Clerk Department. 1. Staff report: REPORT: Planning Director, September 18, 1995 The City Clerk swore in all those who intended to testify at the public hearing. Planning Director Patterson presented the staff report advising that the applicant was originally denied a Use Permit and Variance because the parking was too far away from the entrance of the proposed health club. After a redesign with the entrance closer to parking the applicant reapplied on July 14, 1995. Since the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance does not have specific parking requirements for health clubs staff conducted a survey of other jurisdictions to determine an appropriate number of required parking spaces. Staff determined that 185 spaces were required. The applicant's plans provided 134 spaces. A public hearing was held on August 16, 1995 and the Use Permit and Variance were approved by the Zoning Administrator, with conditions. The first condition was the warehouse use would be changed to dead storage thus freeing up 35 parking spaces, reducing the deficit to 16 parking spaces. The conditions also included limited lunch time use at the club which would be monitored using daily computer logs provided by applicant and requiring applicant to reach parking agreements with adjacent businesses to use their off-street parking. Director Patterson showed Council two letters he had received on Monday from Raychem and Beals-Martin, companies adjacent to the proposed health club, expressing their willingness to enter into parking agreements with the applicant which Regular Meeting Minutes MINUTE BOOK NO. 53 September 18, 1995 Page No. 325 Page 4 . . ...
