CHERRY HILL, NJ — A former medical office in Cherry Hill could become a hair salon.
Cherry Hill’s Zoning Board will review a proposal to convert the building into a space combining a hair salon and the salon owner’s home. A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 17’s meeting. If approved, T&S Studio LLC would open the salon at 511 Kings Hwy N. — a 2,000-square-foot building on the corner of Kings Highway and Chapel Avenue.
An 820-square-foot portion of the building would feature a three-chair salon. The rest would be used as the business owner’s three-bedroom, two-bathroom home. Jefferson Health recently used the one-floor building as a urology office, which no longer operates there.
Constructed in 1962, the building was originally a single-family house. It is located at the corner of a zoning district meant for such homes. But in 1968, the Zoning Board approved a proposal to make it into a medical office. Hair salons are not allowed in the single-family residential zoning district, and neither are mixed-use buildings. T&S Salon, which acquired the building earlier this year, is seeking a variance from the Zoning Board to allow for both uses.
The building currently has a seven-space parking lot in the rear. Vehicles enter from Chapel Avenue and exit on the Kings Highway side street that runs parallel to the roadway. A two-space driveway — accessible from the Kings Highway side street — would be used for the living quarters. The number of parking spaces is sufficient for both uses, according to zoning documents.
