Planning board and commissioners approve conditional use for at‑home hair salon in Fifth District
Summary
Rachel Morgan received approval for a conditional use to operate a small at‑home hair salon (hours 9 a.m.–3 p.m., about four clients per day) at 209 Woodland Drive in the county’s AR-1 zoning; county code requires a business license and on‑site parking.
The Effingham County Board of Commissioners approved Feb. 4 a conditional-use application by Rachel Morgan to operate a small at‑home hair salon at 209 Woodland Drive in the Fifth District. The property is zoned AR‑1.
County staff explained that beauty shops and barber shops are permitted under the rural‑business conditional‑use provisions of the Effingham County Code of Ordinances. The applicant’s application listed hours of operation of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and an estimated four clients per day. Staff recommended conditions that the applicant obtain and maintain an Effingham County business and occupation tax certificate and provide on‑site parking; no parking on county‑maintained roads was permitted under the condition.
Rachel Morgan attended and confirmed the application details. No members of the public spoke in opposition. The board voted to approve the conditional use on first reading and then approved the second reading later in the meeting, completing the required two readings and permitting the at‑home salon to proceed under the stated conditions.
