school, including trade school to allow a proposed dance academy at Hart
Industrial Park. The tenant space is approximately 6,000 square feet of rentable
space. The applicant proposes 5 studios in the building along with office space.
Hart Industrial Park consists of six single-story buildings, including 1603, which
range in size from approximately 6,000 to approximately 9,000 square feet. Total
square footage for the complex is 42,220 square feet of space with a total of 115
off-street parking spaces shared among all buildings. A breakdown of existing
tenants and uses is provided in Attachment A.

20 students per class. Maximum enrollment would not exceed 400 students.

On June 16, 2015 City Council approved Ordinance No. 480-RRRR which
removed Commercial schools, including trade schools as permitted uses by right
from Section 26 – “I-1” Light Industrial District. Section 45 – Specific Use Permits
of the Zoning Ordinance was thereby amended under 480-RRRR to add
Commercial School, including trade school to both the “I-1” Light Industrial District
and “I-2” Heavy Industrial District, subject to requirements outlined in Sec 45.19.

spaces. These spaces are shared by the six buildings in the Hart Industrial
Park. With the exception of building 1603, the park is fully occupied. The
existing tenants are shown in the following table along with the required
parking for each use.
The applicant requests a dance studio with a maximum number of 90
students in attendance at any one time. Based on a ratio of 1 space per 3

spaces at peak time. Current parking demand at Hart Industrial accounts
for 78 of the existing 115 parking spaces, leaving 37 unallocated spaces.
