SITE LOCATION: The site is located at the northwest corner of West Markham Street and Harrison Street. COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD: The property is located on the north side of Markham Street in an area containing a variety of office and commercial uses. A hotel, restaurants and a convenience store with gas pumps are located to the east. Office uses are located to the west. War Memorial Park is located across Markham, to the south. Residential properties are located to the north. This property contains two buildings. In 2003, a CUP was approved to allow the dog grooming business which currently occupies the smaller of the two buildings. Allowing the barber/beauty salon to occupy one bay of the larger building does not appear incompatible with uses in the area. Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located within 200 feet of the site and the Hillcrest Neighborhood Association. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING: The site contains a 24 space, paved parking lot with access off of North Harrison and "A" Streets. Additional parking and a drop-off area are located on the east side of the building, off of N. Harrison Street. The parking appears to be sufficient for the uses in the two buildings. 4.

Contact Central Arkansas Water if additional fire protection or metered water service is required. Due to the nature of this facility, installation of an approved reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly (RPZ) is required on the domestic water service. This assembly must be installed prior to the first point of use. Central Arkansas Water (CAW) requires that upon installation of the RPZA, successful tests of the assembly must be completed by a Certified Assembly Tester licensed by the State of Arkansas and approved by CAW. The test results must be sent to CAW's Cross Connection Section within ten days of installation and annually thereafter.

FILE NO.: Z -6860-B SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (NOVEMBER 1, 2012) The applicant, Ms. Farmer, was present. Staff presented the item and noted little additional information was needed. The applicant was asked to provide a signage plan. Staff reminded the applicant that all required building, plumbing and electrical permits must be obtained prior to any remodeling, if the application was approved. The Committee determined there were no issues and forwarded the item to the full Commission. STAFF ANALYSIS: The 0-3 zoned property located at 5300 West Markham Street contains two buildings and paved parking. The smaller, 2.400 square foot building is occupied by a dog grooming business which was approved under a CUP in 2003. The larger, 4,000 square foot building is divided into four (4) roughly equal lease spaces. The applicant is requesting approval of a CUP to allow a barber/beauty salon to occupy suite "D" which is located on the north end of the building, adjacent to the parking lot. The salon will employ a maximum of one (1) manager/stylist, three (3) hair stylists, two (2) barber/stylists and one (1) nail tech. The hours of operation are proposed as Monday through Wednesday and Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Thursday'through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to midnight. The business will be closed on Sunday. Signage will consist of space on the center's ground mounted sign and wall signage on north and east facades of the lease space, facing Harrison and "A" Streets. To staff's knowledge, there are no outstanding issues. The 1925 bill of assurance does not address use issues. Allowing the use of one (1) suite in this office development to be occupied by a barber/beauty salon appears to be an appropriate use. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested CUP subject to compliance with the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the comments and conditions in Section 6 of the agenda staff report. 3 November 29, 2012 ITEM NO.: 6(Cont.)FILE NO.: Z-6 60-B 2.
