Applicant's Proposal and Background Information
The request is for a special use within Office and Institutional (O-I) zoning for a boutique salon
suite facility. The property contains a 2,231 square-foot building that was previously a dental office.
The applicant would like to convert a former dental office into 13 private, fully equipped suites for
independent beauty and wellness professionals, including hairstylists, estheticians, and massage
therapists. Unlike traditional salons with high employee counts and walk-in traffic, each tenant will
operate by appointment only, ensuring a controlled and profession environment. The facility will
be owner-managed providing 24/7 keyless entry and a video intercom system for client screening.
Access is on Shallowford Road, and a total of 21 parking spaces are provided.

Staff Analysis
(1) Is the proposed use suitable in view of the zoning and development of adjacent and
nearby property?
The property contains a 2,231-square-foot, brick office building. Adjacent uses include Dairy
Queen, Walmart, small retail center and a single-family home within unincorporated Hall County.
The surrounding properties are zoned General Business (G-B), Regional Business (R-B), and
Residential-1 (R-1). No changes are proposed to the outside of the building. The business would
use the existing driveway which has access on Shallowford Road.
(2) Will the proposed use adversely affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or
nearby property?
The subject property is in a commercial area. The existing building does not require any exterior
work, and all renovations will be on the inside of the building. The proposed change in use would
not appear to negatively affect the nearby uses.
(3) Is the proposed use compatible with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive
Plan?
The Future Development Map for the City of Gainesville places the property within the Commercial
land use category which includes retail, office, or other commercial service activities such as
grocery stores, banks, restaurants, theaters, hotels, and automotive-related businesses.
Commercial uses may be located as a single use in one building or grouped together in a shopping
center.
According to the Character Area map for the City of Gainesville, the subject property is located
within the Westside Character Area. Overall, the character area is mostly built out, but there are
areas that are not being used at their greatest or highest use, making redevelopment desirable.
The overall vision for the area is to leverage the existing cultural resources that serve as assets
Page 2 of 4
Page 27 of 50
for the area, such as Alta Vista Cemetery, while making targeted improvements to areas that need
it, such as the areas on Browns Bridge Road, Lakeshore Mall, and the Atlanta Highway corridor.
(4) Are there substantial reasons why the property cannot or should not be used as
currently zoned?
According to the Gainesville Unified Land Development Code, the Office and Institutional (O-I)
zoning district is intended for a variety of office and public and institutional uses, while also allowing
residential uses on a limited basis. The district is primarily intended to be located along arterial
streets but may also be in areas dominated by institutions that involve a range of uses, such as a
college or university. All personal service uses within O-I require an approved special use which
appears to be suitable given the adjacent and nearby mixture of uses.
(5) Will the proposed use cause an excessive or burdensome use of public facilities or
services, including but not limited to streets, schools, water or sewer utilities, and police or
fire protection?
Existing infrastructure such as water, sewer and access are in place to serve the proposed use
and have sufficient capacity to serve the development. Gainesville Fire Station #1 off Queen City
Parkway is located approximately 1.95± miles away. The applicant does not anticipate there will
be traffic impacts given that the use does not require full time staff to operate and tenants will
operate by appointment only. The proposed use is nonresidential and will have no impact on the
school system.
(6) Is the proposed use supported by new or changing conditions not anticipated by the
Comprehensive Plan or reflected in the existing zoning on the property or surrounding
properties?
As previously stated, the surrounding area is primarily commercial. Future commercial uses and
redevelopment were both anticipated by the Comprehensive Plan. This proposal appears to be
supported by the goals of the City of Gainesville’s Comprehensive Plan.
(7) Does the proposed use reflect a reasonable balance between the promotion of the
public health, safety, morality, or general welfare and the right to unrestricted use of
property?
The proposed use is comparable to the surrounding businesses and would appear not to produce
any negative impacts to the surrounding area.
Staff Recommendation
The Planning Division staff is recommending approval of the proposed special use request within
Office and Institutional (O-I) zoning, based on the Comprehensive Plan and the adjacent mixture
of uses.
Excerpts from the June 9, 2026 PAB Meeting Minutes

FAVOR: None
OPPOSE: None
Board Comments: Questions asked: Board Member Young asked the hours of operations;
Vice Chair Thompson asked if the space would be for lease; Chair Carter asked the type of
salon such as hair and nails; Board Member Simmons asked the size of each of the 13 suites.
Mr. Blair advised the hours of operation would be 24/7; spaces leased individually at 6 to 12
months; 80 percent would be hair stylists including make-up. The facility would need to include
a sink, washbowls, water access, turn-key salon suite space with each requiring Georgia
license to lease a space and going before the Cosmetology Board for each suite, and each
suite averages between 100 and 120 square feet.
There was a motion to recommend approval of the special use request for a boutique-
style salon suite facility having a zoning of Office and Institutional (O-I).
