The proposal adds approximately 74.3 square metres (800 square feet) of interior floor area and approximately 62.4 square metres (672 square feet) of floor area for an outdoor martial arts ring area.

The purpose and effect of the minor variance is to increase the maximum floor space for the martial arts studio from 200 square metres (2,150 square feet) to 340 square metres (3,650 square feet) and increase the maximum number of employees who do not reside on site from two (2) to four (4) full time equivalent employees.
