Current Use The subject building is used for the storage, cleaning and repair of goods from flood/fire damaged structures The structure comprises offices, mezzanine floor level and warehouse area Proposed Change of use for Mezzanine Level The proposed change of use applies only to the Mezzanine level. It is proposed that the mezzanine level will be used as a Yoga Space which essentially is an open space. It is proposed to provide Yoga Classes in the mezzanine area. Unlike a gym a Yoga space does not use any equipment, except for yoga mats, foam/cork bricks, bolsters (firm cushions), belts and foldable chairs that are stored neatly away 95% of the time. The timetable for the Yoga Space would be mostly evenings. Key times for activities would usually be 6 to 9pm And maybe 1 x1 hour class each morning around 10am All classes are usually Mon-Thurs. So approximately 16 hours a week. There would be possibility of weekend workshop for 2-3 hours, but this would probably be 1-2 sessions per month. The mezzanine floor is spacious enough to hold 4 -12people, but the average class would probably be 6-8 people. Office \ Warehouse Areas The proposed Yoga Space will have no impact upon the office and warehouse areas of the premises. The Yoga space will use the same entrance but will be segregated from the other areas. As the classes will be held predominately outside of the business hours of the remainder of the building then there will be little or no cross over. Water \ Waste Water The proposed Yoga Space would have minimal impact on the use of water at the premises. Parking The proposed Yoga Space would have minimal impact on parking. There are spaces available at the premises and adjacent environs within The Court. Further, activities would be outside the operating hours of adjacent units.
