TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Lisa Zepeda, Revenue and Collections Manager
DATE: September 3, 2024
SUBJECT:
A resolution establishing the maximum number of licenses in the City of Aurora in accordance with Chapter 25, Article XI "Tattoo and Body Art Establishments".
PURPOSE:
To update the number of available licenses for tattoo and body art establishments.
BACKGROUND:
In 2023, the City Council approved substantive changes to Chapter 25, Article XI "Tattoo and Body Art Establishments". The changes included the ability for new businesses to open using the 1/2-mile distance buffer between any new tattoo establishments consistent with the city code. The City uses this same set back distance with alternative financial institutions, tobacco/alternative nicotine and cannabis dispensaries.
At the time of the Council amended Chapter 25, it afforded itself the discretion to adjust the number of available licenses by separate resolution. As is the case with other forms of licenses, the City Council authorizes a number of licenses equal to the number of establishments holding them, and then adjusts that number following the submittal of a complete application.
Revenue and Collections has a complete application for a new establishment. This resolution seeks to increase the number of available licenses from four (4) to five (5).
DISCUSSION:
This change will allow a new Tattoo and Body Art establishment to open in Aurora.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff respectfully requests approval of this resolution.
