Commission codifies tattoo‑parlor standards and allows telephone/fiber exchange on public school property
Mar 5, 2026
The commission recommended that council adopt zoning amendments to codify prior approval allowing tattoo parlors in certain commercial and industrial zones (with a 500‑foot separation and restricted hours) and to add 'telephone exchange/fiber regeneration station' as a permitted use in the Public district to accommodate school district fiber infrastructure needs.
The full story
Planning staff presented a package of zoning ordinance amendments and asked the commission to recommend them to council. The first change ratifies an earlier council decision to permit tattoo parlors in C2, I1 and I2 zones with a 500‑foot separation requirement and specific operating hours (10 a.m.–9 p.m. Monday–Saturday; 2 p.m.–9 p.m. Sunday). The second change would add a listed permitted use of 'telephone exchange/fiber regeneration station' in the Public district so school property can host fiber infrastructure without a rezoning.
