Zoning administrator approves home‑occupation permit for single‑chair salon at 1827 Lornandale Lane
Summary
The Santa Rosa zoning administrator approved a minor conditional use permit to allow a single‑person hair salon to operate from a residence at 1827 Lornandale Lane, with conditions limiting hours and requiring on‑site parking.
The Santa Rosa zoning administrator approved a minor conditional use permit to operate a single‑person hair salon (home occupation) at 1827 Lornandale Lane.
Susie Murray, covering for planner Janden Briscoe, presented the application and told the zoning administrator that staff recommended approval with conditions intended to maintain residential compatibility. Murray said the use was conditioned to limit hours to a range consistent with the neighborhood, require customers to park on site and remain subject to home‑occupation rules in the zoning code. Murray described the site as surrounded by residential properties and said staff found the project categorically exempt from CEQA.
Murray noted there were no public comments and no unresolved issues from staff review, and that the applicant had reviewed and accepted the conditions of approval. The original proposal listed business hours roughly Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., but the final conditions allowed flexible hours within a 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. limit to preserve neighborhood character. The zoning administrator said the project met the findings and approved the resolution to grant the permit. The action is final unless an appeal is filed by March 17, 2025.
The conditions recorded in staff’s presentation require customer parking on site and compliance with the home‑occupation standards in the zoning code. No public speakers registered objections during the hearing.
