Mrs. Joselyn Stewart was sworn in by Mrs. Janet Poland. Mrs. Stewart presented the recommendation of staff: The subject site is approximately 0.14 acres (6,066 square foot) and urrently has a 2 story brick commercial building on the site. The subject petition requests a conditional use permit to allow the use f a Barber Shop on the first floor of the building. A Barber Shop located in the R-6 District require a Conditional Use Permit. The new owners plan to have a barber shop on the first floor and plan o live on the second floor of the existing building. Section XXII.A.3. lists three standards which must be met in order to ant a conditional use permit. The first standard requires the applicant to show that the use i "necessary for the public convenience at the location." The proposed use is generally compatibl with the neighborhood and provides a service which can be utilized by area residents. The proposed use also meets the second standard. The facility is located and designed to be operated in a manner that the public health, safety and welfare will be p otected. This use also meets the third standard. The facility will not cause sub tantial injury to the value of other properties in the neighborhood. The commercial building has b en located at this particular location for a number of years. It does not appear to have ha an adverse effect on the neighborhood. The structure will be required to meet all applicable Cit codes and standards. Based on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the pe ition as submitted with the following conditions: a. Concrete bollards must be placed in the area between the street d the sidewalk in order to prevent unauthorized parking in the front yard across the sidewalk. b. Prior to going to City Council the petitioner must go to the Traffic d Parking Commission and have successfully obtained permission for three (3) on street parki g spaces including one (1) handicapped parking space. c. The building must be brought up to ADA accessibility standards by creating an accessible route between the parking spaces and the front door. d. The petitioner must meet current City codes and standards. Section XXII.A.2. requires the Plan Commission to hold a public h aring on a conditional use permit request, and then forward its report and recommendation to the City Council for final approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number 08-09 to the City Co ncil with a recommendation for approval is suggested. Mr. Terry Smith asked if the building would be required to be broug t up to commercial code or single family code. Ms. Suzy Stickle stated she believed it would be required to have the proper separation for fire but was not sure if this was already in the building. I
