Jody Dixon - Revised Conditional
Use Permit
1007 West 7th Street
Dennis Morgan/Jody Dixon
To amend an existing conditional
use permit at 1007 West 7`h Street
which is zoned I-2â– to allow a two -
chair beauty salon to operate in
the rear of the previously
permitted gift shop.
This site is located on the south side of West 7th Street,
just west of Chester Street, across 7th Street from the
Central Fire Station.
2. Compatibility with Nei hborhood:
This site is located in an area of mixed commercial, office,
and industrial uses, in and surrounded by I-2, Light
Industrial zoning. The proposed two -chair hair salon should
be compatible with the uses in the area.
The Downtown Neighborhood Association was notified of the
public hearing.
3. On -Site Drives and Parkin :
Access to the site can be gained by using an existing
driveway from 7`h Street on the west side of the property,
located actually on the neighboring property.
The existing site contains no established off-street
parking. The owner has leased 21 parking spaces to use for
the other retail and office use. That number of spaces was
determined based on one space per 300 square feet and will-
satisfy- the requirements for both these uses since both
would operate within the same square footage previously
being used by the gift shop. Using the different square
footage factor used to determine required parking for this
type business, which is one space per 200. square feet, the
21 spaces will still meet both needs.

7. Staff Analysis:
A conditional use permit was approved on --October 30, 1997
for a gift shop in the two-story portion of 'this building
located on this I-2 zoned property. The one story portion
of the building was approved for occupancy as an office and
tattoo business through a C.U.P. granted June 11, 1998. The
owner now proposes to utilize approximately 230 square feet
in the rear of the gift shop area as a two chair hair salon.
Parking is all off-site leased on a lot at NE corner of 7`h
and Chester Streets. The owner had leased from Vino's 21
spaces for the uses in the original C.U.P. These will meet
the requirements for this business also, but for this
business a variance will be required since all the parking
is off-site parking and the ordinance limits off-site
parking to 25% of the total spaces. Many buildings in this
area including this one were built many years ago with
0 feet setback, and therefore, with no room for on-site
parking.
The hours of operation will be from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 P.M.
Monday through Saturday with two employees.
The proposed hair salon should be compatible with other uses
in the area given the mixture of nonresidential uses that
currently exist.
