TO: ARCADIA CITY PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT CORKRAN W, NICHOLSON, ASSOCIATE PLANNER CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 88-010 CASE NO.: SUMMARY This application was filed by Adrienne L, Gracia to operate a toning health salon at 145 Bast Duarte Road, Suite B, The Plllnning Department is recommending approval subject. to the conditions outlined in this report. G~L INFORMAJIQN . APPLICANT: LOCATION: Adrienne L. Gracia 145 East Duarte Road, Suite B, REQUEST: A COnditional Use Permit to operate a toning health salon in which fitness programs are conducted using passive isometric exercise machines. LOT AREA: 17,785 square feet (0,41 acres) Approximately 100 feet on Duarte Road FRONTAGE: EXISTING LAItD USE & ZONING: The subject. site is developed with a 6,000 square foot retail building; zoned C-2 (General Commercial). SURROUNDING LAND USE & ZONING: North: Single-family dwellings; zoned R-3 South: MiDd commercial uses; zoned C-l & D . . East West; Mixed commercial uses ; zoned C-2 Office building; zoned C-2 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Commercial PIlOPOSAL AND ANALYSIS Health clubs/salons are permitted uses in the C-2 zone With an approved conditional use permit The applicant is seeking a conditional use permit to operate a toning health salon in which fitness programs are conducted using passive isOmetric exercising machines (see attached Exhibit" A"). Unlike many other health clubs, the proposed use does not have classes With large numbers of patrons, . A total of 6 exercise machines W'Owd be insta11ed and during the peak operation of this facility there W'Owd be six patrons utili~ng the machines. The applicant has noted that the use of the facilities will be by appointment only. The hours of operation are from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m, during the ~kdays and 8:00 a.m, to 12:00 p.m..on Saturdays, There Will be a total of three employees. This facility W'Owd occupy 1.367 square feet of a 6,000 square foot retail building, as illustrated on the attached site plan. on November 14, 1978, the Modification Committee approved M-78-164, a request for 27 on-site parking spaces in lieu of 30 parking spaces required for the subject building. This parking modification was an approval for a general reduction in parking for the total site. In this partiCular case the square footage of the actual exerctslng area determines the number of required parking spaces, Within the proposed 1,367 square foot tonUlg health salon there wiD be an eJefcising area of approximately 700 square feet which requires 20 parking spaces. Said spaces result in a net increase of an additional 13 spaces for the site. This increase is due to the difference in the parking . C,UP, 88-010 May 10, 1988 Page 2 . standards (i,e, 7 reqUired spaces based on 5 spaces per 1,000 square f~t for retail as compared to 20 reqUired spaces based on 1 space per 35 square f~t of exercising area). With the addition of the proposed toning health salon, 43 parking spaces are reqUired for the site, Staff recently made six random vehicle counts on the site to determine the percentage of available parking, It was noted that of the 27 parking spaces on the site a maximum number of 14 parked vehicles were counted during the peak business hours which seemed to be between 10:30 am, and 4:30 pm, It is staff's opinion that the proposed use is a unique "health club/salon" and as such the eXisting parking is adequate, proVided that the business be limited to the proposed exercising area, number of fitness machines, and maximum number of patrons at anyone time, Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. said initial study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions Within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historical or aesthetic significance, Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project, . RECOMMENDA TroN The Planning Department recommends approval of C,U.P, 88-010 subject to the following conditions: 1, That the total number of fitness/exercising machines shall not exceed eight for a ma1l'lmum of six patrons at any given time. 2, That aerobics, nautilus weight t;r:.ining, gymnastic, eDrcise and other ~mil3r :lasses shall not be conducted, 3. 1bat the eDrcising area shall not exceed 700 square feet, as shown on the proposed floor plan, . C,U.P. 88-010 May 10, 1988 Page 3 . 4, A modification be granted for 27 parking spaces in lieu of 43 spaces, This approval shall not constitute an approval for a general reduction in parking for the total site, That this parking modification shall only be for the use approved by C.UP 88-010 (toning health salon). 5, Fire safety shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Fire Department, 6, That the total number of employees shall not exceed three (3) individuals, 7, That all employees park behind the subject building, 8. That C.U p, 88-010 shall not take effect until the owner and applicant have executed a form available at the P1~nning Department indicating awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. 9, Noncompliance with the provisions and conditions of this Conditional Use Permit shall constitute grounds for the immediate suspension or revocation of said permit . AP-moval If the Planning COmmission intends to take action to approve this project, the Commission should move to approve and file the Negative Dedaration and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and direct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution incorporating the specific lUldings and conditions of approval set forth in the staff report (or as modified by the Commission). T>>nial If the P1~nnln8 COmmlCllllon intends to take action to deny this project, the Comml13Sion should move to deny and direct staff to prepare an appropriate resolution iDcorporatlng the COmml~on's decision and findings in support of that decision. ..

PASSIVE EXERCISE TABLES . The passive exercise table market is beginning to boom. , , But, where did they come from? Many of today's passive, isometric exercise machines are based on the same machine. developed by Bernard H. Stauffer, in the late 1930.. B.H. Stauffer was an inventor and a life-long student of biochemistry, and many of the concepts he developed are just beg~ning to be understood today. In 1937, not much was known about the effects of postural alignment on the functioning of the human body. But, B.H. Stauffer, who was a leader in this fi.ld, found that vibrant health was a combination of proper circulation of blOOd, lymph and intercellular fluids, good muscle tone, and .postur~l .a~,ignment. 'Through his constant'studY, he developed several passiv. ~sometric exercise machines that were designed to r.l&M, .lign and tone the body" He discover.d postural alignment can be achieved by p...iv.ly eMerci~ing different segment. of the body while lying horizontally. This ,type of exercise stimulates the "str.tch r.fl.x" in muscle tissu.s and incr..... mu.cl. tone. The movem.nt produced by th..e exercise machines increases ~ blood AQQ lymDh circulation. without increasino the heart ~ ~ blood oraSBure. In turn, tn. increased fluid circula~icn stimulates ~ bOdY to .liminat. natural waste Droducts ~ have built ~ 1n ~ ~sllular system. . ' '" EXHIBIT "A" . . . a.H. Stauffer employed doctors to conduct research into the effects of the passive exercise machines on the bOdy's metabolism. The research was conducted at UCLA under the direction of Laurence Morehouse, Ph.D., the director of research and university. Morehouse tested a.H. Stauffer's spe,cial "Metabolaid" table extensively. His results showed that continual treatments on the Metabolaid caused the muscles ~ develoD ~ tone. d.cr.... bodY fat and increase enerQY levels. FROM TONING TO WEIGHT LOSS S.H. Stauffer did not set out to be in the weight- reduction business. His idea was to develop muscle tone and improve posture without clients having to work at it. His first clients came to relieve sore muscles 1n their hips, . ' back 'and legs. To their delight, they soon began to lose inches off their thighs, stomach, hips and arms, as well. Immediate results were seen because of the postural changes that Dccurred in the first few treatments. The long-term effects included incr....d metabolism of fat cells. (Droducina true weiQht loss) and, fluid retention loss. This weight loss occurred only when the patrons did not increase theIr caloric intake. WHAT THE TABLES DO S.H. Stauffer developed his tables to accomplish several positive changes in the human body. '. Q The first was the increased circulation of blood. lvmoh and intercellular fluids. a change that is caused by the movements of different parts of the body by the table. Not only does this help the body .liminat. excess fluid, the increased oxygen usage burns calories in the form of fatty tissue. Sinc. this is accomplished without .M~tion on the part of the client, there is ~ lactic acid build-UD ~ oroduce muscle sor.neSB" ~ elevation in h.art rate. and no increase in blood oressure. The second major benefit is the increase ~ muscle tone. due ~ the stretchina ~ contractina ei the muscle tissues. accomoanied ~ the stimulation ~ alianment of 1Dg liaaments and tendons of the bodv. Because this exercise is done lying . down, the gravity that would normally be in effect during upright exercise is not a factor, meaning that there is no damage to the various joints or cartiliginous articulations. The third benefit involves postural changes. The oscillator effect of the Stauffer tables re-positions the pelvis to support the body posture more efficiently. B.H. Stauffer spent his life creating a lifetime program for attainin~..vibrant health and beauty. TOday, that dream is still alive. **excerpts taken from The Legacy of Bernard H. Stauffer by Anthony P.

An example of i.okinetic exercising would refer to a rowing machine. . CIRCULATING TONING TABLE . This table creates a vibrating action that gently massages the bod'!, increases blood circula- tion, eliminates excess water, and breaks down fatly tissue called c~lIulUe, The movement of the table is soothing, relaxing, and creates an energetic refreshed feeling, LEG TONING TABLE The leg toning table is designed to exercise the entire leg area, It reduces the calves, fat pads around the knees, and the outer thigh area (referred to as the saddleback area), Since little pushing or resistive movement is involved no muscle building will occur, This is very important to women as they are seeking a slender feminine appearance and do not wan! to be firmed at the expense of building large muscles, ~ TUMMY TONING TABLE · The tummy toning lable is designed to exercise the tummy, hips, and the buttocks or Ihe entire abdomen area" ~ you exercise ~u contract the muscles in your lummy, The table will . lIatten the tummy and help firm up Ihe bullocks, ..-' ,e I .. .t,c WAIST TRIMMER TONING TABLE The waist trimmer is designed to exercise the waist, tummy and hip area, This table will aid in strengthening the back muscles and help improve posture, The simultaneous action of raising and Imyering the legs firms the waist, tummy, and hips along with shedding inches from these areas, The legs are raised and lowered as much as 650 times during a normal treatment. ~ this occurs the ,waist is gently twisted, UPPER BODY TORSO TONING TABLE This table is designed to exercise the entire upper portion of the body, It tones the upper arms, waistline, midriff, and tummy along with raising and lowering the rib cage, The upper body torso toning table stretches the body, strengthens, and tightens the muscles in the tummy. midriff area, and strengthens and tones the muscles In the back, The arms move in an up and down motion firming and toning the underarms, The bustline and the ribcage are lifted helping to create better posture and a firmer bustJine, ;. .' SIDE STRETCH TONING TABLE The side stretch loning lable stretches the lower torso, ~ the lable moves from side to side the muscles in the abdomen and sides are stretched and toned at the same time, It is very effective in reducing the waist line as well as strengthening and toning the abdominal and lower back muscles, BODY BENDER. TONING TABLE The body bender toning table works with you to exercise.the upper stomach and diaphragm, It helps you to do more sil.Ups in a given p'eriod of lime ,then you've ever done before, The body bender toning lable tightens muscles In the midMff.abdomen area as it strengthens and tones the muscles in the lower back giving you greater overall flexibility, '"
