STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request subject to
the following condition:
1. Redesign the off-street parking to comply with city codes.
(Traffic)
Two Hearts, Inc., dba Two Hearts Styles and Cuts, would like
to operate a beauty shop in an existing building at 1620
Pennsylvania. The beauty shop will have six chairs. Hours
of operation will be from 9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Tuesday - Saturday.
The Zoning Ordinance requires one parking space for each
employee and one space for each barber chair. There will be
six chairs. Twelve parking spaces are therefore required.
The site plan shows on-site parking for nine cars. The five
street parking spaces cannot be applied to the parking
requirement. Ms. Garsee has submitted a letter from the Christ
Mission Temple, which is immediately across the street, that
permits the beauty shop to use the church=s parking lot for
overflow parking.
Exhibits are attached.

of a funeral home and a building/lawn maintenance business.
The beauty shop will provide much needed services in the
Charlton-Pollard neighborhood.
4. Twelve parking spaces are needed. The site plan shows
