Conditional Use Permit U-09-025
Requesting approval to operate a personal service business (salon) on property zoned C-
2:LHP. APN 529-01-018.
PROPERTY OWNER: Dave Flick
APPLICANT: Rene Chadsey
FINDINGS
^ The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15301 of the State Environmental
Guidelines as adopted by the Town in that the proj ect consists of an existing facility with no
expansion.
^ As required by Section 29.20.190 of the Town Code for granting a Conditional Use Permit.
(a) The Council finds, on the basis of the evidence submitted at the hearing, that:
(1) The proposed uses of the property are essential or desirable to the public convenience
or welfare;
(2) The proposed uses will not impair the integrity and character of the zone;
(3) The proposed uses would not be detrimental to public health, safety or general
welfare; and
(4) The proposed uses of the property are in harmony with the various elements or
objectives of the General Plan and the purposes of the Town Code.
The proposed use is considered desirable in that the previous personal service business was
well used by the residents for many years, and a replacement would be appropriate. The
proposed use will not take away from the retail oriented focus of the Central Business
District in that the proposed tenant space has been a personal service business for 23 years.
The salon will not be detrimental to public health, safety or general welfare, and the
conditions regarding operating hours and maximum number of stations on the permit will
mitigate potential impacts. The proposed use is in harmony with the General Plan and Town
Code as addressed in the preceding discussion.
(b) In addition, the approval of the personal service business in this case is neither precedent
setting nor does it indicate a preference for or allowance of the expansion of these uses in the future.
The approval is expressly limited to allowing the re-introduction of a personal service business in a
historic building, where the pre-existing personal service business had to be discontinued in order to
completely renovate and save the historic structure. The Council finds that the approval avoids
penalizing the owner of the building who chose to make a significant investment in preserving the
structure, which investment provided acommunity-wide benefit to the Town.

limited to eight (8) hair stations, plus one (1) manicure/pedicure station, plus one (1) station for skin
