/0,40 • Permitted Uses: Professional beauty supply stores are not listed as permitted uses in Article 26, Section 2. • Accessory Uses: Professional beauty supply stores do not qualify as accessory uses to art galleries pursuant to Article 26, Section 3 in that professional beauty supply stores do not constitute any of the following: A. Incidental storage and office uses; B. Day care centers; or C. Incidental instruction services in conjunction with a primary use. • Conditional Uses: Professional beauty supply stores are not listed as conditional uses in Article 26, Section 4. Article 26, Section 4.S provides for "other uses that are not otherwise listed" in Article 26, which are determined to be (1) of the same general character as the uses permitted by Article 26; and are determined to be (2) not inconsistent with the purpose of Article 26. The Zoning Administrator determined that the proposed professional beauty supply store is not of the same general character and is inconsistent with the purpose of Article 26: (1) General Character of Uses Permitted by Article 26 All of the first -floor permitted and conditionally permitted uses listed in Article 26, Sections 2 and 4 allow for members of the population at large to patronize the various business establishments by purchasing goods and /or services. The proposed professional beauty supply store is available only to a very limited subset of the community, specifically licensed cosmetologists. Thus, the proposed use is not of the same general character since the permitted and conditionally permitted first floor uses allowed in the downtown Central Business Retail Zoning District core do not require a special license to purchase goods and /or services. (2) Purpose of Article 26 : The proposed professional beauty supply store was found not to be consistent with the purpose of the CBR Zoning District, Article 26, Section 1. Article 26.1 states that the purpose of the CRB Zoning District is "to concentrate retail uses downtown which will serve the needs of Redwood City residents, businesses, and workers." The proposed professional beauty supply store is proposed to have products and services available to only licensed cosmetologists, and not to Redwood City residents, businesses, and workers in general. Consequently, the proposed use is not consistent with the purpose of Article 26 based on the use's limitation of patronage to only licensed cosmetologists.
