Commission advances narrow private tattoo‑studio rule for East Granada Boulevard after hour‑long debate
Summary
The commission approved, on first reading, an amendment to the land development code to allow a private, appointment‑only tattoo studio in limited Downtown locations; the vote was 3–2 after commissioners expressed concern that the change could set a downtown precedent.
The Ormond Beach City Commission voted 3–2 on first reading to add a "private tattoo studio" definition and conditional‑use criteria to the land development code, allowing the use in parts of the B‑4 Central Business district under strict limits.
The planning‑board‑recommended amendment creates a new use definition and attaches multiple conditions: no exterior windows, no exterior signage or displays, appointment‑only client service, only one tattoo artist on site, a maximum tattoo area of 160 square feet, and location in a structure of two stories or greater fronting East Granada Boulevard. Planning staff told the commission the change was intended to allow an emerging, appointment‑driven model of tattooing that prioritizes privacy and artistic, one‑on‑one service.
