Staff Analysis: The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to use an existing vacant structure for a two chair beauty shop. A request to rezone this property from R-2 to 0- 1 is also on this agenda (Z-6521). This structure had been occupied by a variety of commercial and office uses for a number of years under a nonconforming use status. It lost its nonconforming use status in July 1997. Any added lighting would have to be low level, directed downward onto the applicant's property so as not to bleed over onto adjacent residential areas. Building height and setback requirements are met. A small 3' X 5' ground sign is proposed in the front. The applicant plans to be open 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday. Based on the fact that this will be a small 2 chair operation and the previous long term nonresidential use, staff feels that this is a reasonable use. As long as proper screening and buffers are provided along adjacent residential property, this use should not have an adverse affect on the neighborhood. 8.

The beauty shop is to be limited to a maximum of two operators/chairs. 3. Compliance with Public Works and Utility Comments 4.
