Mounds View Planning Commission August 2, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 5 Planning Associate Ericson gave the staff report as follows: As the Planning Commission is aware, the Mounds View Municipal Code does not at this time address tattoo or body piercing establishments. In order to adequately research this issue, the City Council adopted interim Ordinance 653 on February 14, 2000, which prohibits any tattoo shops of body piercing establishments to be located in the City for a period of six months. The six-month period will expire on August 14, 2000. It is expected that the Council will call to order at their worksession on August 7, 2000, to extend the moratorium for an additional three months. With the assistance of the city attorney, staff has drafted an ordinance which creates licensing provisions and zoning allowances for such uses. Staff would request the Planning Commission review the entirety of the ordinance paying especially close attention to those provisions concerning the Zoning Code. In addition to creating licensing requirements, the ordinance is drafted to allow such uses in the B-2, B-3, and B-4 business zoning districts. They would be allowed unconditionally (i.e., no conditional use permit would be required) so long as certain specific requirements were satisfied. Staff has made the corrections requested by the Planning Commission and recommends approval of Resolution 629-00, a Resolution Recommending City Council Approval of Ordinance 663. Commissioner Miller noted that Page 11, Section 2, refers to underlined language, however, no language is underlined. Planning Associate Ericson stated all of Subdivision 3 should be underlined and that correction would be made. Commissioner Kaden noted a paragraph on Page 1 where the words “City of Mounds View” should be capitalized. Planning Associate Ericson stated that correction would be made.
