Burnham opened the public hearing and asked for the Staff Report. Ms. Carol Cirelli presented the staff report to the Commission. She indicated that the Applicant had concerns regarding two of the conditions of approval.

Ms. Cirelli indicated that the.Applicant was requesting that family members of the gym also be allowed to use the chiropractic service. Ms. Cirelli indicated that Staff was recommending continuance of this item to the April 16th meeting so that the Applicant could have his attorney review the application and conditions of approval. Cm. Burnham said it was apparent that medical offices were not permitted in this zoning district, and asked who would be benefitting from the business, the gym or the medical profession? Mr. Tong concurred with Cm. Burnham. He indicated Staff had concerns in regards to the medical office use and wanted the service to be an ancillary use~for the gym. Cm. Mack asked that the language in Finding "A" on Exhibit B should be clarified before the resolution was adopted. Cm. Burnham asked if Staff was aware of any other gyms in the area that accommodated chiropractic and/or medical services. Mr. Tong indicated that Staff was not aware of any, however, would research various establishments and address the question at the next meeting. Mr. Teo Beam, Applicant, indicated that he would like gym members to be able to have their family members use his services, as well as handicapped individuals. He was involved with the Special Olympics and direct access to his medical office would eliminate wheelchair access conflicts. Cm. Okun asked if inedical offices were permitted under the current zoning regulations. Mr. Tong indicated no, not as a principle use; only as an accessory use. Cm. Okun asked the Applicant what the percentage of his patrons would be gym members versus family members. Mr. Beam indicated that approximately 50~ of his business would be used by gym members. Regular Meeting PCM-1990-27 April 2, 1990 (ping-05:4-2min] ~ ~ I , I Cm. Burnham asked if Condition #7 could indicate that only gym members and family members of the gym would be allowed to use the medical services. Mr. Tong indicated that this condition could be considered, however it would be very difficult to determine who was a family member and who was not. Cm. Burnham agreed that the chiropractic use should have the same hours as the gym as well as the access limitation requirement. Cm. Okun asked Staff where the closest place that would allow medical office uses. Mr. Tong indicated that medical office uses were allowed in designated areas on Dublin Boulevard. Mr. Tong indicated that if the Commission was not in a position to make a recommendation, then the Commission should leave the public hearing open and continue the item to the April 16th meeting. Cm. Burnham indicated that he understood the Applicant's position and would like to see the Commission reach a compromise. Cm. Mack concurred with Staff's ~ecommendations. The Commission requested Staff to look into other cities' requirements and research how many gym facilities had associated with chiropractic uses.
