In addition, they will be providing cosmetology, manicurist and estitician services to the public for training purpose for their students. Beauty and barber services are permitted uses in the C1A zoning district while the educational aspect of the use requires the special use permit being sought by the applicant. The applicant has submitted written information (attached) explaining their operation including a business plan for the Hollywood Cosmetology Training Center. Also provided are the applicant’s comments regarding the special use permit standards. This information is attached for the Commission’s review. With respect to the special use permit standards, the applicant notes that this will be a new venture that will bring new students and clients to the area that will increase business around the area, that their proposal will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity, nor substantially diminish or impair property values and they note, in fact, the vocational school is for the advancement of students and the general enjoyment of the public by providing discounted services. They note that the special use will conform to applicable regulations within the zoning district as well as the regulations from the Department of Commerce regarding cosmetology schools as they obtain their license for such a facility. The standards for special use permits require that the proposed special use promote and enhance the general public welfare and not be detrimental to or endanger the health, safety and welfare of the public; not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate neighborhood nor substantially diminish or impair property values; not impede the normal and orderly development of surrounding property; be designed so as to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets; and conform with applicable regulations of the district in which it is located.
