    B.    Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with
          the Planning Scheme:
          1.    Gyms (fitness centres) are generally floor area intensive and require tenancies
                within industrial units that are most readily found in the Industrial Zone;
          2.    Some sport and recreational uses are accepted an Industry zone given the
                potential impacts of sport and recreation uses; and
          3.    The fitness centre is of a similar size and scale to other approved Entertainment
                & Dining Business’s Type 2 within the Noosaville Industrial area.
