This use is permitted in the Shopping Center district through a Specific Use Permit (SUP). The applicant submitted a business model in conjunction with the SUP application. The following is a summary of the proposed business operations. • Reservation based exercise studio • Daily classes (7 days a week) o Weekdays: 4-6 class per day from 5:00 a.m to 8:00 p.m. o Weekends: 3-4 classes per day with varying hours • Maximum class capacity 24 members • Two staff members on site daily (one coach and one front desk employee) Parking on site complies with the Allen Lund Development Cafe standards.

Chairman Cocking reiterated that two items concerning the request were received — one in support and one with questions that staff addressed. Commissioner Ogrizovich asked the applicant to respond to the concern about the loud music. Shane Adams, 2208 Dallas Parkway - 4321, Plano, TX, owner/partner of Orange Theory, spoke to the Commission. Regarding noise, Mr. Adams stated that noise is taken seriously — Orange Theory is cognizant of the noise that is emitted from the studio. A number of steps are taken through the construction process to mitigate sound. In this location, sound proofing will be installed in the studio. The noise emitting to the residences is slim The members will come through the front, so any sound would face the northern part of the building. Mr. Adams also stated that leases are signed for this operation with agreements and clauses that discuss what's allowable within that development in terms of sound disturbances. Mr. Adams stated that they would know in advance of any potential neighbor complaints that sound is an issue as the surrounding tenants would voice their concerns first. In addition of the sound proofing, site specific audio is designed for each location Usually it's the bass that causes the most disturbance. Knowing this, it is eliminated from the audio system November 18, 2014 Commissioner Ogrizovich added that the noise will not be "felt' either, to which Mr. Adams agreed. Chairman Cocking agreed that in a multi -tenant space, the people nest door would complain much sooner than surrounding residences Motion: Upon a motion by 2"" Vice -Chair Trahan, and a second by Commissioner Ogrizovich, the Commission voted 6 IN FAVOR, and 0 OPPOSED to approve the Specific Use Permit request for a Fitness and Health Center use for the property located on Lot 1R-2, Block A, Watters Village, and commonly known as 945 W.
