One person not residing in the residence may be employed to assist in the business activity; It does not occupy more than thirty-three percent ofthe floor area of the dwelling; It has a limited number of patrons visiting the premises; Off-street parking for no more than two additional vehicles than those required by the occupants shall be permitted; on-street parking shall not be used to satisfY required parking; It requires delivery of products to the premises no more than once per day. e 3. 4. 5. 6. Ms. Randall advised that the area is sound proofed, however, the nature of the business may require music which should be kept to a minimum as to not disturb neighbors. Staff suggested setting hours of operation. Ms. Randall explained that the applicant plans to occupy the residence and does not plan to have other employees at this time. Clients would be dealt with on a one-on-one basis, however, there could be an overlap, thus causing two clients at the same time for a short period oftime. The clients could also have someone waiting for them, thus causing a third person. The property has ample parking for three patrons along with the applicant's vehicles. The business does not require the delivery of products. The training studio is 24 by 36 feet (864 square feet). The dwelling is 3,516 square feet (including the garage and studio area). The studio would be 24.5 percent of the dwelling, which is below the maximum 33 percent allowed. Ms. Randall advised that staff recommends approval of Planning Case #00-13, Special Use a Permit for a personal training studio with eight conditions. Ifthe Planning Commission makes a ., recommendation on this Planning Case, then it would be heard at the Monday, March 13, 2000 regular meeting of the City Council. Julie Schumacher, applicant, advised that the windows do not open and any music used would be background music, not aerobic type music. She also advised that parking is not allowed on her street. She is licensed in this field. Commissioner Rye asked if special use permits travel with the property. Ms. Randall stated in the case of a home occupation, the SUP goes with the applicant and property together so if the property is sold, the new owner would need to reapply for a SUP to conduct the same type of business. Also, if the applicant's business were to change outside of these parameters (one-on- one arrangement), she would have to reapply for that modification. In response to Chair Erickson, Ms. Randall stated she thinks there are home occupations that should make application for a SUP which are being dealt with by Code Enforcement on a complaint basis. She explained the difference between Class I and Class 11 home occupations. Commissioner Nelson asked how the shop was soundproofed. Ms. Schumacher stated she did not build the home but the person who built the shop said it was soundproofed. Ms. Randall stated that has been verified by the Building Official. Commissioner Nelson noted the hours of operation being recommended by staff. Ms. Schumacher stated her clients like to workout before work hours or during lunch so an earlier start time would be nice but she does have another location to operate from and could see her early hour clients at that location. She stated the earliest time she sees a client is 5 :30 a.m. .
