Item No: 10 B Meeting Date: August 14, 2000 Type of Business: PH & CB City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor & City Council From: James Ericson, Planner Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and First reading (Introduction) of Ordinance 663, an Ordinance Creating Licensing and Siting Requirements to Administer and Regulate Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishments. Date of Report: August 10, 2000 Discussion: As the Council is aware, the Mounds View Municipal Code does not at this time address tattoo or body piercing establishments. Ordinance 653, which was adopted on February 14, 2000 to prohibit any tattoo shops or body piercing establishments to be located in the City for a period of six months, has been superseded by Ordinance 667, adopted August 7, 2000, which extends the moratorium on such uses an additional three months. With the adoption of Ordinance 667, such uses cannot locate in Mounds View until November 14, 2000, or until the effective date of this proposed Ordinance 663, whichever occurs first. The Council raised some questions at the worksession on August 7, 2000, regarding the licensing provisions, training and certification of the specialists. Because of other development cases being processed, staff has not had sufficient opportunity to explore these issues yet is confident that such information will be made available prior to second reading and adoption. If these questions are not fully addressed to the Council’s satisfaction, second reading can be put on hold until such time that those questions are addressed. The Planning Commission has recommended adoption of Ordinance 663 as indicated in Planning Commission Resolution 629-00, approved at their meeting on July 19, 2000. Recommendation: Hold the public hearing (and continue it to August 28) and consider the first reading (introduction) of Ordinance 663. ______________________ James Ericson, Planner Attachment: 1.
