Title
PUBLIC HEARING: Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for Beauty Boss Studio, a lash studio in an existing 728 square-foot lease space on 0.172 acres, situated at the intersection of South Main and West Olive streets, legally described as a portion of Lot 3, Block 5 of the Keller, City Addition zoned Old Town Keller (OTK) and addressed as 234 S. Main St., Ste. B. Hannah Bland, Applicant. Cary Moon, Owner. (SUP-23-0028)
Background:
The Applicant requests to open her growing lash business in Old Town Keller, which requires a Specific Use Permit. The business has been in operation since 2015, with the Applicant having rented booths at the Venetian Salon and Terrace on the Creek.
The lash studio would be the only lash-specific business in OTK. Another lash-specific business, approved by City Council in September 2022, also in OTK did not open before the one-year deadline and the SUP has expired.
Site Design:
The proposed lash studio will be in the second building at 234 S. Main St., directly behind an existing insurance agency. The property owner recently remodeled the approximately 728 square-foot interior of the space for a small business to occupy it.
Hours of Operation:
9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
Closed Sunday.
Parking:
All nearby parking is shared; personal service establishments require one space per 200 square-feet of gross floor area. In this case, four spaces would be required. There are four parking spaces adjacent to 234 S. Main, with a total of 25 spaces available along Olive Street.
Trip Generation:
A trip generation form was not required for this business as the owner does not have employees and will have no walk-in traffic. Lash service will be by appointment only.
Summary:
Section 8.02 (F)(2) of the UDC states that when considering a SUP request, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council shall consider the following factors:
1) The use is harmonious and compatible with surrounding existing uses or proposed uses;
2) The activities requested by the applicant are normally associated with the permitted uses in the base district;
3) The nature of the use is reasonable and appropriate in the immediate area;
4) Any negative impact on the surrounding area has been mitigated; and
5) That any additional conditions specified ensure that the intent of the district purposes are being upheld.
Citizen Input:
On October 12, 2023, the City mailed out letters of notification for this Public Hearing to all property owners within three-hundred feet (300’) of the subject site. A public hearing notice sign was posted on the site.

The Planning and Zoning Commission has the following options when considering a Specific Use Permit:
§ Recommend approval as submitted.
§ Recommend approval with modified or additional condition(s).
§ Table the agenda item to a specific date with clarification of intent and purpose.
§ Recommend denial.
