AGENDA
Mr. Vince Cautero, Planning Consultant for Jim LaRue of LaRue Planning and Management
Services, gave a brief background of the subject property. He indicated that the proposed business
the applicant wishes to engage into is consistent with the zoning and future land use map. Mr.
Cautero explained that the Planning staff feels that there should be one condition added for the
special exception which would limit the odors to remain within the suite. Planning staff
recommends granting approval of Petition 02-003-SE, special exception request to allow for a
beauty shop within a Commercial Professional Office (CPO) zoning district with the condition of
restricting odors to remain within the beauty shop suite upon approval
