Special Permit Application Z-SP-13-09 (Tattoo Studio)

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that on behalf of my client, Katelyn Staton, I have recently filed a Special Permit application (Z-SP-13-09) to allow a tattoo studio in one of the suites in a small retail center located at the northwest corner of 7th Avenue and Coolidge Street.

Meetings and hearings by the Alhambra Village Planning Committee, the Phoenix Planning Commission and the City Council will be scheduled to review this case. However, specific dates have not yet been set. You will receive a second mailing in approximately 3 weeks identifying the dates and locations of these meetings and hearings.

Please plan to attend the neighborhood meeting we are hosting
Monday, October 26, 2009 at 7:00 p.m.
Community Church of Hope, 4121 N. 7th Avenue

You are welcomed to attend all of these meetings and City hearings to make your opinions known. Please confirm meeting and hearing details with the City of Phoenix Planning Department before attending, as they are subject to change. Hearing information will also be found on signs posted on the site and on the “City Page” in the Arizona Republic. In addition, you may make your opinions known by writing to the Planning Department at 200 W. Washington Street, 6th Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85003 and reference case number Z-SP-13-09, or by sending an email to Susan Sargent at the email below. Your letter will be made part of the case file.

The Alhambra Village Planning Committee will forward a recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council after considering testimony and reviewing the Planning Department’s staff report. The Village Planner who will staff this meeting is Susan Sargent and can be reached at 602-262-4065 or by email at Susan.Sargent@phoenix.gov. She can answer questions regarding the City’s hearing process, as well as the staff report. You are also encouraged to contact my client, Ms. Staton at 623-221-5755 (katelyneileen@gmail.com) or contact me directly at 602-828-7102 (MZRosenberg2@aol.com) with any questions or concerns.

Click here for a copy of the plot plan of the existing retail center and application. The by-appointment-only tattoo studio would be located in the northern-most suite, approximately 500 square feet in size. Tattoo studios are an allowed use in C-3 zoning districts, with approval of a Special Permit. Again, we would be happy to answer any questions or discuss any concerns you may have.

Sincerely,
