The establishment of a fitness center (Curves) is an appropriate use in the <br /> Downtown Mixed Use district. A fitness center qualifies as Commercial <br /> Use, Other, which requires a conditional use permit in the DMU district. <br /> 2. The proposed use of a fitness center does not conflict with the <br /> Comprehensive Plan, which indicates the importance of the service sector <br /> of the business community. <br /> 3. The proposed use is compatible with the existing neighborhood, which <br /> contains other existing commercial establishments, such as a hair salon. <br /> 4. The establishment of a fitness center (Curves) is not injurious to the use <br /> and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity, nor does it <br /> substantially diminish or impair values in the immediate vicinity. The <br /> fitness center will be located in an existing building; no new construction is <br /> needed. <br /> 5. The proposed fitness center is unlikely to be injurious to the use and <br /> enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purpose <br /> permitted on the property, nor will a fitness center substantially diminish or <br /> impair values in the immediate vicinity. The activities of the proposed use <br /> will be contained within the existing building. <br /> 6. The fitness center will not impede normal and orderly development <br /> because the fitness center will be established in an existing commercial <br /> building. <br /> 7. The establishment of a fitness center will not have a detrimental impact on <br /> public costs for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to <br />
