Approved with conditions · 3-3
Indie Studio Suites asked to offer small, semi-permanent tattoos; the Planning Commission recommended the change. Council Members Lauret, Peterson and Millet said Orem has enough tattoo businesses or that C3 is a buffer near neighborhoods. Macdonald supported the Planning Commission. Staff suggested limiting the use as an accessory. The motion allowed the use in C3 only when accessory to the primary use of a beauty shop. One resident at the hearing said C3 should remain a buffer.
- Condition: only when accessory to a beauty shop
