RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Approval with Conditions
PLANNING COMMISSION: Approval with Conditions
PLANNING STAFF: Approval with Conditions
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS: Based on the submitted information, it appears that the in-home hair salon meets the criteria of the DeKalb County Zoning Ordinance for a special land use permit allowing a home occupation with customer contact. The proposed hair salon within the single-family residence should not have any adverse impact on adjacent and surrounding properties. Planning Staff's recommended conditions should mitigate anticipated impacts. The exterior of the existing single-family residence is not proposed for alterations, therefore remaining compatible with surrounding dwellings in the subdivision. Given that the existing driveway can accommodate off-street parking for clients, there should be no impact on adjacent properties. The proposed hair salon would not create adverse impacts on adjoining properties by way of noise, smoke, odor, dust or vibration. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Planning and Sustainability Department that the application be, “Approved with the attached conditions”.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: Approval with Conditions. 7-0-0. L. Osler moved, J. West seconded for approval as recommended and conditioned by staff with an amendment to condition #2 to read, "Licensed cosmetologists", instead of "licensed beauticians".
COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: Approval with Condition 8-4-1. Council recommended "Approval" with the following conditions: 1) Hours limited to Tuesday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; and 2) SLUP shall not be transferrable beyond the applicant.
