Commission approves Type B home‑occupation for single‑chair hair salon on Lake Pomona Road
Summary
County planners and commissioners approved a conditional use for a one‑chair salon to operate from a homeowner's enclosed porch on a 12.6‑acre property off Lake Pomona Road; the applicant said the structure sits about 200 feet from the road and will comply with state cosmetology licensing and health rules.
The Board of Commissioners on Sept. 6 approved a Type B home‑occupation conditional use to allow a one‑chair hair salon at 972 Lake Pomona Road.
Applicant Laura Steele told the board the salon will operate in a 110‑square‑foot enclosed porch area with a separate exterior entrance, will have one chair at a time, and will follow Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering rules. "The salon will have 1 single chair with accessory retail sales operating in a 110 square foot room," staff summarized from the applicant's narrative.
Planning staff noted the house and proposed salon are set back more than 200 feet from the roadway and are screened by heavy woods; staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval. Commissioners asked about parking and ingress/egress; Steele said her property provides looped access with room for parking and that additional traffic will be negligible.
Ending: The conditional use was approved with no recorded opposition at the hearing; commissioners emphasized adherence to state licensing and health standards.
