Title
PUBLIC HEARING: Consider an ordinance approving a Specific Use Permit (SUP) to allow the use of a Spa, for Bliss Nails and Spa, in an existing 2,450 square-foot suite, within a multi-tenant building of 11,900 square-feet, on 0.273-acres, located on the east side of Rufe Snow Drive, approximately 450 feet southeast of North Tarrant Parkway and Rufe Snow Drive, located at 2041 Rufe Snow Drive, Suite 315, legally described as Lot 4, Block A, Keller Place Addition and zoned R (Retail). Whitestone Keller Place, LLC owner. Kien Nguyen, Bliss Nail Salon, applicant. (SUP-21-0006)
Background:
The former salon owner applied for and received an SUP on June 5, 2018 to expand their use. The City Council unanimously granted this SUP.
Because the current Applicant is a new owner, the 2018 SUP has been nullified (since ownership is tied to existing SUP’s). The Applicant is requesting an SUP to reflect the ownership change.
Proposed Hours of Operation (same hours of existing operation):
Monday - Friday: 10:00 A.M.- 7:30 P.M.
Saturday: 9:30 A.M. - 7:00 P.M.

Services offered will remain the same.
