James Blair Property Owner ........................................................ Money Management Consultants, LLC Location .................................................................... 224 Shallowford Road, NW Request..................................................................... Special Use within O-I zoning Total Acres ............................................................... 1.55+ acres Ward.......................................................................... Five Proposed Use ........................................................... Boutique-style salon suite facility Planning Division Staff Recommendation ............. Approval Planning & Appeals Board Recommendation........ Approval Date ........................................................................... June 9, 2026  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.  Adjacent Land Use and Zoning Location Use Zoning North Dairy Queen General Business (G-B)-Gainesville South Walmart Regional Business (R-B)-Gainesville East Shallowford Heights retail center General Business (G-B) -Gainesville (Orient Express restaurant, Lakeshore Nutrition, Lupita’s Hair Salon) West Residential Homes Residential-1 (R-1) -Hall County Zoning History The following zoning actions have taken place in the immediate area during the last ten years: 2025 - A request by Jesus Carillo to annex a 0.42± acre tract with a zoning of Residential-II (R-II) located at 1450 Dorothy Drive was approved with conditions for a duplex apartment. Page 1 of 4 Page 26 of 50 2025 - A request by Branch Lakeshore Associates, LP to rezone a 48.86+ acres tract located at 150 Pearl Nix Parkway from Regional Business (R-B) to Planned Unit Development (P-U-D) was approved with conditions for a mixed-use development. 2021 - A request by Two Capital Partners to rezone a 24.857± acres tract from Neighborhood Business (N-B) and General Business (G-B) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) located 600, 610 and 622 Shallowford Road, SW; 1515 Skelton Road, SW; 1448 and 1450 Hudgins Street, SW was approved for Water Resources water/sewer services. 2019 - A request by the Gainesville Housing Authority to rezone a 6.822± acres tract located at 320 Tower Heights Road from Residential-II (R-II) to Planned Unit Development (P-U-D) was approved with conditions for multi-family apartments. 2019 - A request by Russell Fuller to annex a 0.34± acre tract with a zoning of General Business (G-B) located at 457 Dawsonville Highway was approved with conditions for existing commercial retail. 2017 - A request by Gainesville Market, LLC for a special use within General Business (G-B) zoning on a 5.0± acres located at 600 Shallowford Road was approved with conditions for a commercial outdoor recreational facility. 2017 - A request by Masy Seng to annex a 0.19± acre tract with a zoning of General Business (G- B) located at 593 and 597 Shallowford Road was approved with conditions for a donut shop.  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 Applicant Presentation: James Blair, 5614 Flat Creek Road, advised the objectives and goals of the request were explained and happy to answer any questions. Page 3 of 4 Page 28 of 50 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). Motion made by Vice Chair Thompson Motion seconded by Board Member Simmons Vote – 6 favor, 1 absent (DeFoor) Page 4 of 4 Page 29 of 50 RESOLUTION ZR-2026 - ___ APPROVAL OF A REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY THE CITY COUNCIL WHEREAS, under Chapter 9-7-9 Office and Institutional (O-I) zoning district of the Unified Land Development Code of the City of Gainesville, Georgia; Section 9-7-9 Permitted and Special Uses allows for a personal service facility subject to City Council approval after review and recommendation by the Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board; and WHEREAS, an application has been received from James Blair to allow a Boutique-style salon suite facility within an Office and Institutional (O-I) zoning district identified as follows: 01-116-005-002 224 Shallowford Road Ward Five WHEREAS, the application has been evaluated under any criteria specified in the aforesaid section; and WHEREAS, the Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board, held a public hearing regarding this matter on June 9, 2026.
