Mr. Matthews asked how semi-permanent tattooing is different than other iypes of tattoos. Mr. McIntosh said that unlike traditional tattooing, the ink is not inserted very deeply under the skin. The skin cells shed over time so that the makeup remains between weeks and months. Most customers come in for touch ups on a routine basis. Mr. Matthews asked if the microblading could be expanded in the future. Mr. McIntosh said that was unlikely as the target audience is currently limited to women's eyebrows. Mr. Schumann asked how the applicant knew city approval was required. Mr. McIntosh said that the County Board of Health licenses microblading facilities and technicians. They have a checklist of many requirements including obtaining permission from the local municipality. Mr. Schumann moved, seconded by Mr. Anderson, to recoinmend approval of a conditional use permit for 17-10303; Mia Salon at 24180 Lorain Road, waiving the requirement for spacing and separation of tattoo establishments, with the condition that microblading shall remain an accessory use to the salon, motion passed 4-0. COMMUNICATIONS ChaAter 1145 Limited Industry District Uudate Mr. Schumann said that the zoning code change to the Limited Industry District went to public hearing and then BZD committee review. The same concerns raised by the resident at the Planning and Design Commission were also raised to City Council. Of particular concern to the resident was the previous lack of notice that allowed plans to be approved and variances granted without residents' knowledge since their properties do not directly abut the industrial parcels. CEI's property is directly adjacent and kept in a cleared state due to the wires, providing little buffering for the neighborhoods on the other side of the lines. Ms. Lieber said that Chapter 149 of the Administrative Code sets the requirements for public notice. While she would not recommend amending the code to change the notice provisions, the code already provides a way for the Commission to address this issue. Section 149.02(e) allows the Commission to expand notification and for citizens to request additional notification. The resident could be informed to request notice for Industrial Parkway proposals. Also, the Commission could change their rules to expand notice where a commercial or industrial property abuts a public utility line such that any property owner immediately abutting on the other side of the utility also receives notice. Mr. Anderson asked about the logistics of maintaining resident requests for special notice. Ms. Lieber suggested adding a timeframe to resident requests, possibly one year. Mr. Schumann asked how it would be deterxnined which properties on the other side of the CEI lines receive notice. Ms. Lieber suggested notifying those property owners whose land would otherwise abut if not for the CEI lines. Mr. O'Malley recommended that language be drafted as an amendment to the Commission's Rules and Regulations to formalize this, which would be presented to the Commission for a vote
