Salon permit dispute at 422 S. Murphy Avenue

Sunnyvale

Summary

A 20-year Sunnyvale stylist appealed the permit granted to a competing appointment-only hair consultation business in the same 1942 office building, saying she was told four times the space couldn't be permitted. The commission upheld the permit, saying competition isn't a land-use consideration and the applicant followed the process.
