Date Application Received: NA Date Application Considered as Complete: NA 60-Day Review Period Expires: NA REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 3 June 2015 Item No. 6 Department Approval: JB Administrator Approval: Agenda Section: Name: Melanie Curtis mcc JML Planning Title: Planner Item Description: #15-3732 - Amend Section 78-1 Definitions - RE: Barber Shops and Beauty Shops List of Exhibits: Exhibit A. Draft Ordinance Exhibit B. City of Plymouth Code Excerpts Exhibit C. PC Staff Report & Exhibits 05/14/15 Exhibit D. Draft PC Minutes 05/18/15 In response to a recent application for a nail salon in the B-1 District of Navarre, staff initiated an amendment to the zoning code to include a definition for Beauty Shops and Barber Shops. Because the definition of the types of services provided by beauty and barber shops has likely expanded since the creation of allowed uses in the commercial districts, staff felt it would be appropriate to better define the parameters of the use. Staff is not proposing an amendment to the permitted uses within the individual commercial districts; rather Council may consider a simple amendment to add a definition under the currently used term Barber Shops and Beauty Shops (which are permitted uses within the B-1, B-3, and B-5 districts). Staff provided some options to the Planning Commission for consideration. The Commission felt City of Plymouth’s definition would be a good fit. They voted 5 to 0 on a motion in favor of recommending the Council consider adding a definition of Barber Shops and Beauty Shops modeled after the Plymouth definition of Beauty Salon/Day Spa. Further, the Commission asked staff to contact the Plymouth staff to inquire about how tattoo parlors are addressed and whether they had encountered any unforeseen issues with their definition as published. Staff discussed the Commission’s questions with Plymouth’s planning staff and was told that they have not had any negative situations with their current language. Additionally, tattooing and piercing are defined as Body Art and are permitted only in one commercial district within Body Art Establishments. Staff Recommendation The Council should review and discuss the proposed definition as well as the ordinance as drafted. Planning staff recommends approval of the draft ordinance. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED The Council should consider adopting or amending the draft ordinance. Item #06 - CC Agenda - 06/08/2015 File #15-3732 [Total Pages 13]
