Buffer Requiremnts
The development is not required to place buffer along the property lines
boarded by RO (Residential Office).
Attitude of Property Owners: Ten (10) Property owners within 300 feet of the subject
properties were notified of the rezoning request. The Planning Department has
not received any comments in opposition to the request.
Additional Information: The applicant is requesting to rezone the aforementioned property
from NC (Neighborhood Commercial) to GC (General Commercial) zoning district.
The applicant is proposing to expand the Tattoo Studio to include Piercing
services. The Unified Development Ordinance specifies that a Tattoo and Body
Piercing Studio is only permitted in a GC (General Commercial) zoning district.
One of the current uses of the property as a Tattoo Studio is a legal
non-conforming use since the property is zoned NC (Neighborhood Commercial)
therefore it can be expanded unless rezoned to GC (General Commercial) which is
the appropriate zoning for the proposed use.
