BACKGROUND: This request seeks approval of aUse-by-Exception to allow a martial
arts school and health center to move into a vacant space formerly occupied by a convenience

remained vacant for the past year.) There is no additional development proposed on the site,
although interior renovations and improvements such as re-striping of the parking azea will be
made. The site contains adequate parking, and no changes to access are proposed.
It is Staff's opinion that the proposed use is consistent with the intent of the Commercial
Limited district, and that the use is compatible with other surrounding uses. Staff also finds
that the request complies with Section 24-63 and recommends approval of the requested Use-
by-Exception, subject to a condition that any existing landscape azea adjacent to this business
and pazking used by this business be improved and maintained consistent with applicable
provision of Chapter 24, Division 8. (There is very little pervious area on this site, but the
applicant has agreed to this condition and intends to create additional landscaped or planter
areas adjacent to the business.)
The Community Development Board will hear this request at their Tuesday, September 17th
meeting. Staff will provide the recommendation and minutes from that meeting under sepazate
cover as soon as these are available. (For the Commission's information, staff has received
numerous phone calls from parents, whose children currently attend martial arts schools
operated by this applicant, speaking in support of this request.)
BUDGET: None.
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve aUse-by-Exception (File No. UBE-2002-07), to
allow a martial arts and health center within an existing vacant space on a developed site
within the Commercial Limited (CL) Zoning District and located at 1197 Mayport Road,
