Village Vibrancy Initiative: Possible NC-2 Revision

NC-2 Barber Shop, Hair Salon, etc 500’ Distance Requirement:

​

The following uses shall be permitted if the parcel on which they are located is separated by a minimum distance of 500 linear feet, measured from property line to property line, from any like use: barber shops, beauty supply, beauty school, hair salons, and manicure and nail salons. This shall not be construed to mean that a mixture of the above said uses as part of a single parcel or business establishment shall be prohibited. Said uses or combination of uses shall not exceed 4,000 square feet of floor area.

​

Opportunity: Hair studio at new Marbut Building (512 FSA - application to add a condition in process)

Questions:

1. Is this distance requirement too restrictive and preventing the expansion of retail business in EAV?

​

• To increase daytime foot traffic and business in EAV, should we consider asking the Planning Dept. to draft a change to NC-2 to remove this restriction (vs applicant obtaining conditional zoning which sets a precedent for future business owners)?

​

Next Steps: If strong support from EACA and SAND, contact CM LB’s and JW’s Office and Planning Dept. to determine process to update NC-2 while working with SAND, EACA/EABA and Property Owners on an overall update to NC-2 to support “Village Vibrancy”.

​

Note: An exception to this requirement was made by EACA a few years ago for a business located at on the 500 blk of FSA (south of Virgil’s)
