- 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.
