The Tempe City Council is considering two changes to Tempe’s Code – one to permanently allow small home hair salons and barber shops and the other to make it easier to add solar energy to buildings.
A possible change to Tempe’s code would allow for the installation of future solar power to a building without rework of the interior pathways, roof or electrical service. A public meeting will be hosted virtually at noon on Tuesday, Feb. 15. Online comment will be taken Feb. 15 – March 1.

Last year, the Tempe City Council approved a pilot program to allow barber shops and hair salons to operate up to two stations from a residence. On Jan. 14, the Council extended that pilot program in order to hear from the community how that program is working for neighbors and hair salons alike. Attend the 5:30 p.m. public meeting on Thursday, Feb. 24. Online comment will be taken Feb. 10 – March 3. The City of Tempe plans to utilize the survey information and proceed forward with a proposed permanent ordinance change with future public hearings.
