development.
While Community Business (C-3) zoning is requested, uses would be limited as described in the
Chart on the next page. Design guidelines are also outlined in the chart:

TATTOO AND BODY PIERCING USE
The applicant is requesting conditional use approval to allow a tattoo parlor to include
body piercing. This use is not specifically enumerated in the Zoning Ordinance. Approval of
a conditional use may be granted for a use not specifically enumerated in the Ordinance
provided the use’s operations and impacts are substantially the same as a use that is
permitted in the zoning district.
Staff finds the proposed use is similar in characteristics and impact to a beauty shop. Since
beauty shops are permitted in the proposed zoning district, conditional use approval could
be granted to permit the tattoo parlor (including body piercing).
Tattooing and body piercing are regulated by the State Board of Barbers and Cosmetology
laws found in the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, in Title 54.1, Chapter 7. Such use
would be required to comply with all laws regulating the use. (Proffered Condition C)
