DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT

The existing building is owned by SDMS Real Estate Holdings LLC and is occupied by one
tenant, Browns Partsmaster Inc. in Suite #101. The suite adjacent to subject property, was
previously occupied by a gymnastics gym. Suite #106 is to be subject property with 2,507 sqft
utilized for fitness and 651 sqsft for retail and office uses. See Floor Pan. The building fagade
will remain as is as well as the exterior of the building.

A. Landscape and Signage

The site is currently landscaped. All existing landscaping will be monitored throughout this
process to make sure it remains alive, healthy and is maintained. Since the site is currently

landscaped and there will be no modification and/or additions to the exterior of the building, no
landscape plans have been provided as part of this submittal.

B Pfitt will not have wall signage on said property.
B. Parking/PedestrianCirculation

Direct access to the site is off North Glen Harbor Blvd to the proposed use. Parking within the
overall center is adequate and will meet the future demands of B Pfitt. There is a plethora of
parking in front of the proposed B Pfitt building. The B Pfitt peak hours are opposite of adjacent
businesses, providing patrons flexibility in time of use, which will assist in reducing peak hour
parking demands.

CONCLUSION

The intent of this Conditional Use Permit request, and ultimately of the repurposing of this
vacant, tenant building, is to provide an indoor health and wellness facility and additional retail
that will complement the surrounding neighborhood and promote a healthy, active lifestyle for
the residents of Glendale.
