Subject: Request for Conditional Use Permit – 310 & 320 California Ave (APN: 124-32-034) Dear City Planner,
I am writing to formally request a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Palo Alto Fit, a boutique specializing in personal training and nutrition consultation.
Palo Alto Fit has served the community for almost ten years in Palo Alto. Our long search for a permanent location spanned several years, as we were looking for a space that is convenient for our clients and accommodates our needs. After an extensive search, the California Avenue building was the best option available to purchase. California Avenue is also a great location for our clients, as it is within walking and biking distance from their homes. Our new location allows us to have more public transportation and parking options available than we have today.
We are committed to enhancing our clients' journey to vitality and balancing physical fitness with holistic health practices. The new space will reflect this mission and include facilities catering to our existing and prospective clients interested in personalized functional training within a private environment. We are focusing on those who are dedicated to integrating fitness and health into their daily lives, including individuals managing higher health risks and heart conditions.
