Parking Exception for twenty three (23) parking spaces to allow an indoor sports
recreation facility to expand within the existing building at 387 Grand Avenue in
the Downtown Core (DC) Zoning District in accordance with SSFMC Section

Chairperson Shihadeh opened the public hearing and called for the staff report.
Associate Planner Gross presented a brief staff report recommending approval. He
explained that the applicant is proposing to secure the entitlements to expand the
boxing ring and mat area within the larger portion of the basement. He elaborated on
how the 23 space exception was arrived upon, and stated that parking is available in the
Miller Avenue Parking garage and Lot 12 which is within 2 blocks of the gym. He noted
that consistent with other recent parking exceptions, a condition of approval is included
requiring the applicant to purchase a minimum of three (3) annual parking permits for
the employees.
Chairperson Shihadeh inquired whether there would be competitions and observers.
John Fuentes, applicant, responded that there would be no competitions at this location.
He explained that this is a non-profit youth boxing gym and the youths (ages 8-18) are
dropped off, take the bus, or walk-in. He noted that sparring and competitions are at
other gyms, since this ring is not legal for competition, only for training. Commissioner
Parenti commented that the class times start at 4pm weekdays so possibly the only
affected day for parking would be Saturday.
The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Parenti excused herself from voting as she works for the Chamber of
Commerce and Physique Magnifique is a member.
Motion—Vice Chairperson James/Second—Chairperson Shihadeh to approve Parking
