Commission recommends approval for Tier 1 Tattoo, grants waiver of 500-foot separation
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended approval of Conditional Use Permit CUP08259678 for Tier 1 Tattoo at 1338 NW 7 Highway and approved alternate development standards to waive the 500-foot separation from nearby multifamily zoned property, subject to two staff conditions. The recommendation will go to the City Council on Oct. 20, 2025.
The Blue Springs Planning Commission voted Oct. 13 to recommend approval of Conditional Use Permit CUP08259678 for Tier 1 Tattoo, and to approve alternate development standards that waive the typical 500-foot separation requirement from residential zoning. The recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for final action on Oct. 20, 2025.
City staff (Logan Day) explained the property at 1338 NW 7 Highway is zoned GB (general business) and that a unified development code text amendment updated the body-art rules to allow body art service establishments in commercial buildings with a conditional use permit. Staff recommended approval of the CUP and the alternate development standards with two conditions in the staff report.
Applicant Logan Johnson said he has about 14 years’ experience and typically would operate the studio roughly 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Marty Hodges, owner of the Country Club Center where the business will locate, spoke in favor and said a tattoo shop previously occupied the same unit without issue.
Commissioners asked about buffers between the commercial center and adjacent multifamily zoning; staff said there appears to be a fence but would confirm details. The commission approved the CUP on a roll-call vote and will forward the recommendation and conditions to the City Council on Oct. 20.
