Planning commission approves conditional use permit for Aloha Tattoos to move one unit over in Murray

The Murray City Planning Commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit May 15 to allow Aloha Tattoos to relocate from Unit 4 to Unit 6 at 6657 South State Street.

Ruth, a city planner, told the commission the business previously held a CUP for Unit 4 in 2014 but must obtain a new permit because conditional use approvals are tied to a specific address and unit number. Staff reviewed the submitted site and floor plans and recommended approval subject to the conditions listed in the staff report.

During questions, a commissioner asked why the tenant needed a new business license when moving next door; staff and a business-licensing representative explained that business licensing and CUPs are both tied to a precise unit/address, so a new CUP and a new license are required for Unit 6. Applicant Jonathan Poulson said Aloha Tattoos has been in Murray for about 10 to 11 years, that the move is to a larger space, and that he can comply with the conditions.

Chair Richards opened the public comment period; no members of the public spoke. Commissioner Kling moved to approve the CUP for 6657 South State Street, Unit 6, a motion that was seconded and approved by roll call with all commissioners voting yes. The commission’s approval is subject to the conditions listed in the staff report.

The commission did not identify any public opposition at the meeting. The approval allows the business to relocate within the same shopping complex but does not change the conditional-use conditions tied to the new unit.
