Criteria for Review - Barber Shop / Beauty Salon

According to Section 35-482(h) of the UDC, in order for a special exception to be granted, the Board of Adjustment must find that the request meets each of the five following conditions:

 

A.                     The special exception will be in harmony with the spirit and purpose of the chapter.

The UDC states the Board of Adjustment can grant a special exception for a single operator barber shop beauty salon. The Barber shop /beauty salon is intended to be operated by a single owner. If granted, this request would be in harmony with the spirit and purpose of the ordinance. 

 

B.                     The public welfare and convenience will be substantially served.

 

In this case, these criteria are represented by the owner to operate a Barber Shop/Beauty Salon located at the residential property by a single owner while still promoting a sense of community.

 

C.                     The neighboring property will not be substantially injured by such proposed use.

 

The Barber Shop / Beauty Salon will not disrupt privacy for the subject property and is highly unlikely to injure adjacent properties.

 

D.                     The special exception will not alter the essential character of the district and location in which the property for which the special exception is sought.

 

The Barbershop / Beauty Salon will not alter the essential character of the district.
