BELMONT, CA-A historic theater in Belmont may get new tenants after four years of vacancy. Santa Clara-based Planet Granite has approached the city planning department with preliminary designs to build rock-climbing facility, a yoga studio, a workout facility and a retail space. If the plan were approved, the project would take at least a year to complete.

The company will purchase the building, located at 100 El Camino, once they receive approval from both the planning commission and the city council, says DaGeissberger, a manager for Planet Granite.
