Commission recommends conditional use permit for home-based massage business at 500 UNIMAC Street
Summary
The Petersburg Borough planning commission voted to recommend approval of resolution 2026-601 allowing a home-occupation massage therapy business at 500 UNIMAC Street, limited to the conditions listed in the application; the applicant said clients will be asked to park on her driveway.
The Petersburg Borough Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of resolution 2026-601, which would allow a home-occupation massage therapy business at 500 UNIMAC Street.
Applicant Suzanne Webb told the commission, “This is my application. Um yes, I'm instructing my clients to park on the driveway, not on the street.” Commissioners said the permit is limited to the listed home-occupation conditions and discussed parking and the low expected traffic level, with one commissioner noting the business likely will generate one or two vehicles per day.
The commission discussed the condition that the home occupation be limited to massage therapy as listed in the packet. A commissioner said the proposal supports local small-business activity and praised the applicant; another raised a practical parking concern but acknowledged Webb’s assurance that off-street parking would be used.
The commission moved the resolution and completed a roll-call vote in favor. The action advances with a recommendation to the borough assembly for final approval and is subject to the conditions listed in the resolution and staff report.
The commission did not alter the conditions of approval during the discussion; any additional changes would appear in later assembly or staff review.
