The commission meets at 7 p.m. at city hall.
Warsaw City Council, at its June 6 meeting, requested the commission to look at the text of the current zoning ordinance to determine where tattoo parlors are permitted within the zoning districts as outlined per the zoning ordinance.
Two public hearings on the issue have been set for the July 12 plan commission meeting at 7 p.m. at city hall, and an August city council meeting.
At the July commission meeting, the planners are scheduled to make a recommendation to the city council for an amendment to the zoning ordinance to allow tattoo establishments as permitted uses in Commercial-3, C-5, Industrial-2 and I-3 districts.
Tattoo parlors are currently allowed as a special exception in C-2, C-3 and C-5 districts, I-2 and I-3 districts.
The proposal from the city, if approved, would be an ordinance amendment that would continue to allow C-2 as special exceptions, and allow C-3, C-5, I-2 and I-3 as permitted uses for tattoo establishments.
Warsaw Board of Zoning Appeals approved, at its May 23 meeting, granting Hank’s Tattoo, 3704 Lake City Highway, and Take Action, 938 N. Detroit St., special exceptions to be located at the sites.
However, the board approved the exceptions with restrictions that signage can no longer say “tattoo,” “body piercing” or “body art” that is visible from the roof, wall, windows or from the road.
The city council agreed to allow tattoo establishments to continue advertising their businesses until the city approved an amendment to the zoning ordinance.[[In-content Ad]]
