Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The applicant is applying for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a therapeutic massage clinic at 1617 93rd Lane NE. The business will occupy approximately 1,076 square feet of space in a multi-tenant building. The zoning of the property on which the building is located is I-1 (Light Industrial).
A massage clinic is an example of a health care commercial service, which is listed as a conditional use within the I-1 Zoning District. The clinic would be open seven days a week, from 10am to 9pm. The tenant space includes three massage rooms that would serve as waiting areas when not in use. The applicant states there will be one to two employees working at a time and expects approximately four to six client visits daily, including walk-ins.
There are currently 34 stalls provided on site, more than the 28 parking stalls required by the Zoning Ordinance for the building as an industrial use. In addition, staff anticipates the parking needs for the massage clinic to be very low. With these considerations, Staff does not anticipate parking becoming an issue on site.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
