H. ANALYSIS:
The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow a barber/beauty shop located at 4120 John Barrow Road within an existing building. Operating hours will be from 8am to 9pm,
Tuesday thru Saturday and will employ five (5) barbers/beauticians. The property is located within the John Barrow Overlay District.
The property contains an existing one-story, 1,424 square foot building. An existing driveway provides access from W. 42nd Street. The properties surrounding the site contain a mixture
of zoning and uses.
The hair salon will contain five (5) employees utilizing five (5) work stations. The operating hours will be from 8:00am to 9:00pm, Tuesday through Saturday.
Ingress/egress is provided by a concrete driveway extending from W. 42nd Street.
Chapter 36-502(3)(f) requires seven (7) spaces for the proposed use. The applicant notes ten (10) dedicated parking spaces for the barber/beauty shop. Staff feels the parking is sufficient
for the proposed use.
The applicant is not proposing any signage at this time. Any future signage must comply with Section 36-555 of the City’s Zoning Ordinance (Signs allowed in commercial zones).
Any new site lighting must be low-level and directed away from adjacent properties.
The site plan does not show a dumpster on the property at this time. The applicant notes standard City trash collection will be provided weekly. Any new dumpster installed on the site
must comply with Section 36-523 of the City’s Zoning
Ordinance.
Staff is supportive of the requested conditional use permit. The applicant has provided responses to questions raised by staff during the review of this application. Staff feels that
this is a good location and repurposing of an existing building for a barber/beauty use to serve the community at large. There are additional barber/beauty uses along the John Barrow
corridor and within the general area. Staff feels that the proposed use and the minor increase in traffic should have no adverse impact on surrounding properties.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested conditional use permit, subject to compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in paragraph E, and the staff analysis, of the agenda
staff report.
