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.
