DISCUSSION
Background: At its meeting of February 23, 2010, the Planning Commission approved a
Conditional Use Permit application to allow operation of a fitness studio (reference Attachment 3
& 4 – Staff Report & Meeting Minutes). The Planning Commission’s approval was time limited
for a period of two years, expiring March 5, 2012. This application is a request to extend the
approval period for an additional five years.
Location: The subject property is located on the west side of Dell Avenue, at the intersection of
Hacienda Avenue (reference Attachment 5 – Location Map). The site abuts the Los Gatos
County Park to the east and commercial buildings in the other three directions. The fitness center
is located within a 7,200 square-foot commercial building on a site that shares common
ingress/egress with an adjacent parcel.
Operational Description: The applicant has submitted an operational description (reference
Attachment 6) and other documentation that describes the operation of the fitness center.
ƒ
Locations: The Campbell location of Sedusa Studios was first established in 2006. It is
the first of three locations for this business, which has now expanded to South San
Francisco and in process of locating in Walnut Creek.
ƒ
Business Operation: The fitness center specializes in aerobic dance for women. The
fitness center offers a variety of sessions such as pole dancing and “go-go” dancing. The
center averages approximately 15 fitness sessions per week.
ƒ
Participants: The sessions have typically averaged eight to twelve women each,
although with the economic downturn, sessions average six to eight women.
ƒ
Hours of Operation: The majority of the sessions are held in the evenings, Monday
through Friday, between 5 PM and 9 PM, with occasional classes being held Monday and
Friday mornings from 9 AM to 12 PM. The fitness studio is open Saturday for private
“parties,” which are essentially private group sessions.
ƒ
Employees: In addition to the applicant, the studio employs three instructors. Each
session is typically led by one to two instructors.
ƒ
Building Usage: The floor plan
shows the layout of the fitness
center. The use includes the primary
fitness floor (as shown on the
photograph to the right), an elevated
stage, storage area, reception,
changing room, and a boutique for
incidental retail sales of fitness
accessories.
