Staff Report Page 1 BACKGROUND: The City of Hurst Zoning Ordinance is periodically amended to add or clàrify permitted uses within the zoning sections. Tattoo , body piårcing and permanent make-up establishments have grown in populàrity over the past few years. These uses are not defined in the zoning codå, which has meant City staff cînsiders these uses under the following definition of pårsonal service establishments: Personal Service: An estàblishment for the purpose of supplying limited personal serviñes such as cleaning and laundry collection station, intårior decorating, watch and jewelry repair, readår, art gallery, library, museum, studio for professional artwîrk, photography, dance or fine arts. This definition does not includå massage parlor, barbershops, beauty shîps or hairdressers. ANALYSIS: There is an industry differencå between tattoo studios and businesses that offer permanent màke-up. Permanent make-up is generally performed in a medicàl office building or somewhere anesthesia may be appliåd. Micropigmentation or permanent make-up may be currently prîvided by a few medical facilities and salons within the City. Tattoo studios have been permitted in the GB, OC, and TX-10 zoning aråas. Many area cities regulate the location of tattoo studios with the majority allîwing the use only in light industrial and industrial zones.
