ITEM NO. 6 CorePower Yoga Fashion Island Minor Use Permit No. UP2019-051 (PA2019-226)
Site Location: 957 Newport Center Drive Council District 5
Patrick Achis, Planning Technician, provided a brief project description stating that the request is for a minor
use permit to allow a 3,302-square-foot, indoor yoga fitness facility within an existing tenant space in the
Fashion Island Regional Center. Health and fitness clubs, including the subject yoga studio, are a permitted
use within PC56 through the approval of a minor use permit and is consistent with the Regional Commercial
land use designation. CorePower Yoga offers varied forms of yoga practice and fitness classes. Classes last
up to 60 minutes and are scheduled to occur within the hours of 5 a.m. and 10:30 p.m., daily. Approximately
four employees, counting instructors and administrative staff, are anticipated to support the operation at any
given time. As proposed, the tenant space will be renovated and improved with two yoga rooms, a
reception/retail area, administrative office, and restroom with storage lockers for patrons. The proposed project
does not include any additional floor area and, therefore, does not increase the parking requirement.
In response to the Zoning Administrator’s question, Mr. Achis stated that the land use table of the North Newport
Planned Community Text prescribes a minor use permit requirement for health and fitness facilities.
Paul Shaver, of CAA Planning on behalf of CorePower Yoga, stated that he had reviewed the draft resolution
and agrees with all of the required conditions.
The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing. Seeing that no one from the public wished to comment,
