Impact analysis
Rezoning could raise the property's resale value for the owner but risks the loss of roughly 25-30 existing jobs at the current businesses, per one commissioner.
Local business tenants in the plaza and neighbors concerned about traffic and the creek.
Hair Cutz employees and loyal customers, plus well-water households near the creek, would bear the risk if the site were redeveloped as a fuel station.

Planning Commission - Mar 10, 2026
A proposal to rezone 4545 E. Court St. from C-1 to C-2 sparked fears that the 37-year-old Hair Cutz barbershop could be demolished for another gas station. Residents on well water worried about fuel tank leaks near Gilkey Creek, and speakers noted Burton already has a surplus of gas stations.
