BACKGROUND The 1,500 square foot martial arts studio is proposed to be located within "the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community, which is bounded by Tustin Ranch Road, Interstate 5, Myford Road, and Edinger Avenue (Attachment A - Location Map). The project is located in the General Plan Planned Community Commercial/Business land use designation and the Planned Community Industrial (PC IND) Zoning District. Section VI C. Planning Commission Report Conditional Use Permit 04-029 January 10, 2005 Page 2 of the Irvine Industrial Complex Planned Community District Regulations identifies indoor recreational facilities such as martial arts studios as conditionally permitted uses. The property is currently improved with eleven (11) multi-tenant buildings, which are occupied by a variety of light industrial, office, and assembly uses that are individually no larger than 2,000 square feet ~ach. . PROJECT DESCRIPTION Proposed Use The martial arts instruction is proposed in a 1,070 square foot portion of the 1,500 square foot tenant space that is located within Suite G of Building 4 and would occupy approximately 12 percent of that building (Attachment B - Submitted Plans). The remaining 430 square feet would be used for office, reception, and office support use. The proposed hours of operation would be as follows: Monday - Friday: Saturday: Sunday: 3:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The hours of operation would either be consistent with the hours of operation of other businesses within the center or would be occurring during days and times when other businesses are closed. There would be no more than two (2) instructors and eight (8) students on-site at any time. Condition No. 3.1 would limit the number of students and instructors. The existing building and subsequent tenant improvements to the subject suite might not contain the required heating, insulation, and ventilation required by the building code for the proposed use. Additionally, the proposed plans do not show two disabled access restrooms as is required by the Uniform Building Code. Therefore, plan check submittal, for interior improvements to the tenant space is required; any improvements to accommodate the assembly occupancy must be addressed by the applicant prior to building permit issuance. Condition 2.1 is provided to require building permit issuance prior to use initiation so that staff can ensure that the tenant space meets the Uniform Building Code requirements for the use at the time a building permit is issued. Existing Uses Including the proposed use, the center would consist of approximately 32 percent office, 41 percent warehouse, 17 percent manufacturing, 7 percent assembly uses, and the .~ Planning Commission Report Conditional Use Permit 04-029 January 10, 2005 Page 3 remaining percentage for miscellaneous uses. A review of the use and parking data provided by the applicant indicates that the center currently has 9,290 square feet of assembly uses that include two (2) dance studios, two (2) martial arts studios, and an art studio. The addition of the proposed martial arts studio would bring the sum of assembly uses to 10,790 square feet which is 6.83 percent of the 157,917 square feet in the business complex. Parking There are 421 parking spaces available for all uses within the Tustin Business Center. The proposed use would require 4.67 parking spaces based upon a ratio of one (1) parking space for each instructor and one (1) parking space for every three (3) students (see Attachment C - Parking Summary). As a comparison to other permitted uses, office use of the tenant space would require six (6) parking spaces at a one (1) parking space for every 250 square foot ratio and a manufacturing use would require three (3) parking -. spaces at a one (1) parking space for every 500 square feet ratio. A total of 340.43 parking spaces are required to be provided for the existing and proposed uses. As such, there are a total of 80.57 (421 - 340.43 = 80.57) surplus parking spaces and sufficient parking would be available for the proposed use. The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the project and compared the martial arts studio use to other business center uses that could occupy the tenant space without a CUP. The Traffic Engineer determined that the use would not likely create any additional trips during the AM peak hour and has the potential to generate a total of six (6) additional net daily trips during the PM peak hour. However, the Traffic Engineer concluded that the net change increase in PM peak hour trip generation is not anticipated to be significant because there is sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed use considering the projected traffic on the adjacent street system. ANAL YSIS In determining whether to approve the Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission must determine whether or not the proposed use will be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing in or working in the neighborhood or whether it will be injurious or detrimental to property or improvements in the vicinity or to the welfare of the City. Summary of Findings A decision to approve this request can be supported by the following findings: ...... Planning Commission Report Conditional Use Permit 04-029 January 10, 2005 Page 4 1. Pursuant to Condition 3.1, the use would be limited to a martial arts studio with no more than two (2) instructors and eight (8) students on-site at any given time. 2. The operational characteristics of the martial arts studio would be appropriate for the location in that the use would occur entirely within the existing building. 3. As conditioned, the days and hours of operation would be consistent with or would occur during hours that generally do not coincide with the operational hours of the other businesses located within the center. Pursuant to Condition 3.2, the hours of operation will be limited to 3:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, and 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Sunday. Those hours would generally occur at time when adjacent uses do not occur, because most industrial business hours are typically 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and do not occur on weekends. 4. The proposed use, as conditioned, would not result in parking impacts since an 80.57 space parking surplus exists. 5. The Traffic Engineer has determined that the martial arts use as compared to business center, industrial park, and health club uses would not have additional impact during the AM peak traffic hours and that six (6) additional trips would be generated to the site during the PM peak hour, which can be accommodated by the existing street system capacity with no impact to existing levels of service. ~o;tV¡ ssociate Planner t{O/LLL (~f~r<-- Karen Peterson Senior Planner Attachments: A - Location Map B - Submitted Plans C - Parking Summary 0 - Resolution No. 3941 S:\Cdd\PCREPORT\2005\CUP 04-029.doc .......
