§ 17.16.048. Body art establishment in the TED district.

A.

Preamble. Whereas, the city council finds it necessary to regulate body art establishments by allowing such establishments by special permit within the TED district, in order to ensure that such establishments are located in a readily identifiable area away from residential properties, and by doing so, thereby aid both in the enforcement of health and safety codes and in the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the public from the dangers of blood-borne pathogens present in the practices and procedures of body art.

Now therefore, the city council hereby determines the following:

B.

Body art establishment, erected, constructed, placed, altered, converted or otherwise changed may be allowed only by special permit in the TED district by the city council, in compliance with the dimensional and parking control requirements of this title, except as specifically changed by this section:

1.

Body art establishments may not be located less than five hundred feet from the nearest lot line of: each other; public or private schools; playgrounds, parks; conservation areas; houses of worship; residential uses; and residential areas.

2.

A material condition to every special permit issued with respect to any body art establishment shall require that such establishment must cease its business operations between the hours of eleven p.m. and nine a.m. each day.

3.

No body art establishment shall have an illuminated standing accessory sign or attached sign that contains any moving, flashing or animated lights, or moving or movable parts.
