SITE LOCATION:
The site is located on the west side of Andover Court, south of Cantrell Road and
the Pavilion in the Park development.
COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD:
The beauty shop is proposed to be located within this existing office building.
Multifamily developments in the form of condominiums and elderly housing are
located east and south of the site. Pavilion in the Park, a C-3 zoned multi -tenant,
office and commercial development is adjacent to the north. A city park bounds
the site on the west. The proposed use should be compatible with the
neighborhood.
All owners of property located within 200 feet of the site, all residents within 300
feet who could be identified and the Andover Square Residence Association
were notified of this request.
ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING:
The site contains a 52 space parking lot accessed from Andover Court by a
single driveway. A 13,107 square foot office building requires 32 parking spaces.
Computing the parking requirement by calculating the proposed 2,600 square
foot beauty salon separately from the remaining office space raises the required
number to 48. There is sufficient parking to accommodate the proposed use.
4. SCREENING AND BUFFERS:
No Issues.

The Committee determined there were no other issues and forwarded the item to the
full Commission. The applicant was advised to respond to staff comments and
questions no later than Wednesday, June 5, 2002.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The 0-3 zoned property located at 2300 Andover Square is occupied by a new
development consisting of a 13,107 square foot office building and a 52 space parking
lot. A conditional use permit is requested to allow a beauty salon to occupy 2,600
square feet of the building (20%). As an ancillary use, a beauty salon could, by -right,
occupy 10% of the building (1,310 square feet). Since the proposed beauty shop
exceeds 10% of the floor area, a C.U.P. is required. The beauty shop will operate
Monday through Saturday. No clients are anticipated past 9:00 p.m. 14 stylists are
proposed, some serving only on a part time basis. No signage is requested beyond that
which is permitted in the office district.
Staff is supportive of the requested use. Allowing this use to occupy a portion of this
existing office building does not seem out of character with development in the area.
There is sufficient parking on the site to accommodate the use especially after 5:00 p.m.
during the week or on Saturdays when the other office uses have reduced activity. If
needed, space is available on the site to construct an additional 8-10 parking spaces.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested C.U.P. subject to compliance with the
conditions outlined in sections 5 and 6 of this report.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JUNE 20, 2002)
