RE: Administrative Determination AD25-000005 – Hermosa Salon
Dear Ms. Romani,
We have received your request for an administrative determination on the required
number of off-street parking spaces for a proposed Hermos Salon located at 4110 N.
Kimball Ave. The property is zoned T-N, and the salon is a directly permitted use (Personal
Services) and requires 1 parking space for every chair. The proposal includes a request for a
salon with 17 chairs, and therefore 17 parking spaces are required by code for the use.
However, 10-08-08-6 states that in the T-N and other Urban Core zoning districts, only ½ of
the parking standards are required and they may be met using both on and off-street
parking. Therefore, the applicant must provide 8 parking spaces either on or off site.
According to the submitted plans, the applicant is proposing to create 2 off-street parking
spaces on site, leaving a remaining 6 spaces to be provided on street. The applicant’s
narrative states that the same block in front of the salon has 20 parking spaces on street
that are infrequently used. The salon’s proximity to the downtown means that the salon is
only 2 blocks from a bus stop and is easy walking distance to many public parking lots. The
site is already fully built out and there is no possibility of creating more than the two
proposed on site spaces.
Due to the existing constraints, review of the code, and the abundance of on street and
public parking in the vicinity, staff finds the proposed off-street parking request is
appropriate and hereby approved.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Morgan Bessaw, AICP, CFM
Deputy Director for Community Development
City of Caldwell
