Tara,
Thank you for the additional information. We had little information to interpret what the
use/occupancy was intended here other than “Wellness Studio”, so this helps clarify. A little more
background on the Solimar Spa, that user had already been issued a building permit when we were
notified of the use. The City Code does not define a “spa” so we needed to make a determination
that it was similar to another use in the Limited Business District. Due to the massage and facial
treatments offered at Solimar, we deemed it similar to a medical user. The hair and nails services are
generally deemed retail services but were allowed as accessory to the overall spa services at Solimar.
A straight hair salon or nail salon would most likely not be allowed in this building due to the zoning.
I will make note of this or keep this response as part of the building permit review.
Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Erik

Hi Erik,
I am the owner of Inspire Studios LLC. I spoke with JBL Companies the management company for
this building to help clarify the use of this building .
They shared a previous lease in this building of a Salon and Day Spa. Attached is the original lease
agreement for Solimar Spa, a previous tenant of the building. The first paragraph in article 1 of the
lease agreement states, “ Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for day spa, hair salon, and
related retail sales and cosmetology services”. Additionally, they had a permit pulled back in 2003.
We are hoping to offer similar services in our space. We named it “Wellness Studio” as a new
version of “Day Spa”. Planning to offer, Hair services, Massage, Meditation, and Acupuncture
services.
Please connect with questions.
Thank you for your time.
