There are many small local businesses that were destroyed. My business, The Boulevard Salon, was one of these. We own a tiny parcel of land, yet we had a successful business and attracted an up-scale clientele. However, owners such as myself are dealing with threats of takeover by larger property owners because lots of us cannot find a way to comply with the new landscaping requirements and still have adequate parking and profitable square footage. I was told my John McConnell that Krispy Kreme and McDonald's have not been able to meet compliance as of yet. We want to rebuild in a modern and beautiful landscape, but the physics of it is making it impossible. That property has been in my family since 1979. We were destroyed. We want to be a part of the new landscape. We have the resources to build a beautiful salon within the building codes, but the new landscaping ordinances are killing us. How can we include our local small business property owners in this landscape?
