square foot building for a Minor Automotive Repair use. A Minor Automotive Repair use within a Shopping
Center SC district requires a SUP per the ALDC. Ms. Mohan explained that the SUP Site Plan shows one
existing service bay door on the eastern end of the building for this suite.
There are two existing access points for the entire development, both on the US Highway 75 Service Road,
and both through a 24 -foot Firelane, Access, and Utility easement. Parking within the site exceeds ALDC
standards. Ms. Mohan explained that the SUP Site Plan includes notes indicating that there shall be no
outdoor storage on the site, no outdoor display or merchandise of products on the site, and that all cars left
overnight shall be stored in the bay door prior to closing. There are no proposed changes to the exterior of
the building.
Commissioner Ogrizovich asked if the parking designated on the SUP Site Plan is specifically for the
subject use or if the parking is open to any tenant in the center.
Ms. Mohan replied that the parking is designated on the plan only to indicate that seven spaces are required
for the subject use. The shopping center as a whole can accommodate all uses in the center as all tenants
share spaces and there are no designated spaces for any individual use.
The Specific Use Permit request has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee and meets the
standards of the ALDC.

any additional mechanical functions. He stated that other similar uses exist in the shopping center but he
sees his business as complementary, but not in competition with the mechanic uses.

the Commission. He stated that the tenant offers a high intensity circuit training workout that lasts
approximately 30 minutes.
2,d Vice -Chair Platt asked if noise was going to be a problem.
Mr. Phillips replied that it would not be as they do not use loud equipment or music.

the early class hours. He asked Ms. Mohan what would happen if noise becomes an issue with the residents.

t measure the decibels being emitted from the business. If they exceed the City's requirements, then
additional measures would be taken at that time.
