Council affirms conditional approval for barber station at 310 Fourth Street; staff directed to propose cap on home-business permits
Summary
Council confirmed prior approvals allowing a barber station at a single-family property at 310 Fourth Street and asked staff to draft an ordinance setting a maximum number of similar home-based uses per the mayor's recommendation.
The McFarland City Council on June 25 confirmed approvals first presented at a June 11 hearing for a conditional use permit and home-occupation permit to operate a barber station at a single-family residence at 310 Fourth Street.
Staff said Resolution 2025-63 and related entitlements (CUP 2025001, home-occupation permit 2025001 and corresponding variances) were approved at first reading and that staff made a minor modification to condition No. 12 to include “or accessory dwelling unit.” Staff also told the council it would present an ordinance amendment in August to establish a maximum number of home-based uses per the mayor’s direction.
The council briefly discussed the item and sought clarity about any family connection to the applicant; the mayor clarified he and the applicant, Victor Opeza, were not related. Councilor Connell said any home business must comply with city, county and state regulations, including business licenses, building permits and cosmetology safety and health rules.
The item was part of the consent agenda after being pulled for discussion; the consent agenda passed by roll call: Marion Aye; Vice Mayor Connell Aye; Councilor Gonzalez Aye; Councilor Perez Aye; Councilor Gutierrez Aye.
Ending — Staff will return in August with a proposed ordinance amendment to set a numeric cap on home-based commercial uses; existing approvals for the barber station move forward with the amended condition.
