Commission approves conditional use permit for body‑art artist to operate in existing Pahrump salon
Summary
The Pahrump Regional Planning Commission on Oct. 2 approved CU‑24‑31, allowing Riley Upshaw to operate a body‑art business inside an existing salon at 3370 S. Nevada Highway 160; staff found the use permissive and the applicant confirmed she has a biohazard safety plan and accepts the conditions of approval.
The Pahrump Regional Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit (CU‑24‑31) that will allow an individual to provide body‑art services inside an existing salon at 3370 South Nevada Highway 160 in Pahrump. Staff told commissioners the proposal meets Nye County code and the applicant has met state requirements for a body‑art establishment.
The applicant identified herself in the hearing as Riley Upshaw and said, "Yes, I do" when asked if she had read and agreed with the conditions of approval. Staff member Ms. Medici recommended approval, noting the use is permissive within the neighborhood‑commercial zone and that graduates of a recent permanent‑makeup course are now seeking licensed local work. Commissioner Hayden moved to approve the application based on staff findings and stipulated conditions; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Why it matters: Approval allows a licensed body‑art practitioner to begin operations at the stated address subject to the CUP conditions and county inspections. The commission recorded no public opposition during the item’s public‑comment period. The commission noted the applicant provided a biohazard safety plan in response to a commissioner question about infection‑control procedures.
