Two new ordinances would address the two separated issues.
Concern expressed that tattoo parlors and massage therapists were
singled out, and concern those types of businesses would receive an unfair negativity.

order to allow a closer review during the processing of a conditional use permit.
MOTION TO AMEND:
Council Member Boyle MOVED to delete the terms tattoo parlor" and "massage
therapists" from the ordinance. Council Member Smalley SECONDED the motion.
It was noted, the intention of the motion was to have tattoo parlors and massage
