Radhika Mendoza 2000 -017 Request for a Special Use Permit to operate a home beauty shop at 6845 Perry Avenue North. 6. Other Business 7. Adjournment • • Application Filed on 6 -30 -00 City Council Action Should Be Taken By 8 -29 -00 (60 Days) Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 2000 -017 Applicant: Radhika Mendoza Location: 6845 Perry Avenue North Request: Special Use Permit The applicant, Radhika Mendoza, is requesting Special Use Permit approval to operate a beauty shop in her home at 6845 Perry Avenue North. The property in question is zoned R -1 (One Family Residence) and is located at the southwest corner of 69th and Perry Avenues North. It is bounded on the north by 69th Avenue; on the east by Perry Avenue; on the south by a single family home; and on the west by the Korean Presbyterian Church. Home beauty shops are classified as special home occupations in the city's zoning ordinance and require the approval of a Special Use Permit by the City Council before such operations can be undertaken. The applicant has submitted written information (attached) describing the proposed home occupation and has submitted a site sketch of the property. She indicates the proposed hours of operation would be 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and the shop would be closed on Sunday. She also indicates that it will be a single • operation with no non - resident employees and that she has parking on the site for approximately four vehicles at one time. She is a licensed beauty operator but will be seeking a shop license from the State of Minnesota. The beauty shop would be located on the first level of the premises. The biggest concern with any proposed home occupation involving beauty or barber services is that it be done on an appointment only basis, rather than trying to attract walk -in customer traffic. This way, on street parking can be avoided and the traffic coming and going to the operation can be held to a minimum, thus, not causing an inconvenience to surrounding properties. The applicant has been advised, and agrees, to take appointments only to keep traffic to a minimum. It appears that the applicant has a large enough driveway that customers can park there without having to park their vehicles on the street. This is of particular importance since access to the driveway is from 69th Avenue, a relatively busy roadway. The applicant plans to have the beauty shop in the area located between the house and the garage. This currently is a roofed patio area which is proposed to be enclosed. A building permit to convert this area to habitable space would be required. Such a conversion will require the space to meet all building code requirements such as heating, light, ventilation and energy criteria. Also, the applicant will need to verify that there are proper footings and foundations for this space. Any recommended approval of the home occupation should note that the conversion of • 7 -13 -00 Page 1 space for use in the home occupation shall be in conformance with building code requirements as • determined by the Building Official. The Building Official will also need to review the property for various safety considerations related to the home occupation use. There, in all likelihood, will be a need for construction of plumbing work associated with the shop license and generally a fire extinguisher in the shop area is also required. The applicant may wish to indicate another location in the home for location of the beauty shop if the proposed location does not work out. All in all, this proposal is seen as being a relatively low level home occupation in terms of beauty shop operations. The hours proposed do not seem to be excessive and the level of activity should be within the range of other beauty shop home occupations approved by the City Council in the past. A public hearing has been scheduled and notices of the Planning Commission's consideration have been sent to neighboring property owners. It appears this home occupation will be low key and should not cause problems in the immediate neighborhood if it is conducted in the manner outlined by the applicant, namely that customers be seen on an appointment only basis and all parking associated with the home occupation be on the applicant's driveway. Therefore, approval of this Special Use Permit is recommended subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The Special Use Permit is granted only for a home beauty shop with a single operator. The use may not be altered or expanded in any way without first securing an amendment to the Special Use Permit. • 2. The Special Use Permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and regulations. Any violation thereof may be grounds for revocation. 3. All parking associated with this home occupation shall be off street on improved space provided by the applicant. 4. The hours of operation shall be between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays. Customers shall be served on an appointment only basis. 5. The applicant shall comply with recommendations of Building Official with respect to safety related matters and obtain the necessary permits for alterations to be made to the property. 6. A current copy of the applicant's state license shall be submitted to the City prior to the issuance of the Special Use Permit related to this application. 7 -13 -00 • Page 2 /�► .. :1 ��i►� iii i►` „ � 7 111111,. ■�■� ■i■� "■� � ,■, ■■ . • ,t± = �� o �� ,��` � ' /1� 1111 �� ■ ■ 111 lion �►� : �■' � � r�1 1 1 111 1111 �,r �I�� ► _ t ■. mills _ .. �r ■ ■ „ i 11111111 111 1111 � �■. ■� ■��' ■■■i �' 111111! :1111 - ■ � =r�: �� . ai "r i' �• � 11 _ 1111 �- �� ••� � . „, IIIr. � � � ,��: ■ 11 X11111/ �l '" ~�1/�, �_��!•��•� -� ; ._, .. . . .. ■ 1111 l 111111. ��. �� 1 _ \ . =) � • .,, 111111■ `� ■ 111 1111111 .� _ ;, , � `�,��`' : � ' - ; , 111 �► . 11111 __.- � ,� •, �� .... . , 1111 ►� II ■o■ � -. 111 .- i ■■ ■ - 1l11111 HI ago all MEN 111 /1 ; � �� ■ 111111111 � � �;1111�� ; . 11/111 ■ r ► 1/� �■ „ 1111111 �.. .. ■ ��i� . ::. 11 ' 111111 1111111 � ,� ; .■ � _ � � � 1�..,1f �' ::: 111111 111 ■ M■■ •• '- 11 , /11��1111111 11 ■ !�� ■�+i 1 1111► � � ' � 111111��1�1�11 IGHI111 �; 11111, e 2f u � r i� i I` 7) 110 ,�sb�4.
