on the repair and restol'ation or slandalone wood ful'lliture for individual clients. A use-by-except ion is

The property is located wiLhin the Co mmercial General (CG) zoning district west or Mayport Road on 6'11
Street. The surrounding properties on all sides are also CG. The nearest residential prope1ty is a single
fa111ily home in the Residential General (RG) zoning district I SO feet to the west. The property consists
one building with paved parking in front and fenced in side and rear yards. The building itself is I 500
square feet with two roll up doors in I he front and a standard door in between. The inside of the building
is fini shed with air conditioning.
The business will have a single trailer used to move clients' furniture to and from the shop that will be
stored behind the fence. 'l"ypical operation will have clients make appointments to visit the shop so the
number clients in the shop at any given time will be minimal, l'edLtcing the demand for parking. The
business is currently open between I 0 AM and 6 PM Tuesday through Saturday. The work itself will be
done indoors where a dust collecti on system will take care of saw dust. The saw dust and other wood
material waste are donated and standard trash Wi ll be handled by City's waste collection services.
