Background
The applicant is applying for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a music studio (Guitar Academy) at 3529 88th Avenue NE. The business will occupy 1,249 square feet of space in the multi-tenant building. The zoning of the property on which the building is located is I-1 (Light Industrial).
 
A music studio is an example of an educational use commercial service, which is listed as a conditional use within the I-1 Zoning District. The studio would be open five days a week (Monday-Friday) with lessons offered generally from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m. The applicant states there will generally be one instructor working during lesson times and expects approximately six to ten client visits daily. All classes are by appointment and pre-scheduled.
 
The subject building was most recently approved for an expansion through a site plan in 2000 (SP #00-33) and therefore meets site requirements. There is sufficient on-site parking for the proposed use.
 
Notice was sent to the surrounding property owners regarding the consideration of this amendment.
 
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
