COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD: The proposed site is zoned 0-3, General Office, as is the abutting property to the north.

STAFF ANALYSIS: The applicant has requested a conditional use permit for an 8 -chair beauty shop in a new structure with accompanying parking to be constructed on property zoned 0-3, General Office. The single story proposed structure meets height and setback requirements. Eleven parking spaces are proposed verses a requirement for six spaces minimum. The proposed salon would operate 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The required landscaping, buffers and screening are provided in the plan. Signage would be as allowed in office zoning. The proposed site is zoned office and is surrounded by primarily residential zoning. There is office zoning immediately to the north, and commercial zoning further north on the west side of John Barrow. Both of those properties, as well as the residential properties immediately to the west and south are currently undeveloped. The proposed use would be quiet and the traffic generated would be spread throughout the day. Staff believes that with the proper screening from the residential properties to the west and south, the proposed use would be compatible with the neighborhood and not cause an adverse impact. 8.
