Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider a request to amend Specific Use Permit (SUP) S502 for the expansion of an existing tattoo studio from 3,455 sq. ft., adding 2,422 sq. ft. for a total of 5,877 sq. ft., located at 13720 Midway Road within the Light Industrial (LI) zoning district; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Midgard Tattoo Company is an existing business operating in Farmers Branch since 2021 in Suite 102 (3,455 sq. ft.) at 13720 Midway Road. The business is requesting an amendment to its Specific Use Permit (SUP) to expand into the adjoining Suite 105 (2,422 sq. ft.).
The current SUP applies only to Suite 102. The addition of Suite 105 will increase the total operational area to 5,877 sq. ft. and therefore requires an amendment to include the expanded square footage within the SUP.
This amendment will proceed through the required public hearing process, including review by the Planning & Zoning Commission and final action by the City Council.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed expansion includes remodeling Suite 102 (3,455 sq. ft.), along with incorporating Suite 105 (2,422 sq. ft.), resulting in a combined floor area of 5,877 sq. ft. across both suites. The expanded operation will continue to comply with all requirements of the Light Industrial (LI) zoning district.
The site provides 155 surface parking spaces, including five accessible spaces. The expanded tattoo studio requires 15 parking spaces based on the standard of one space per 400 sq. ft. The total parking required for all tenants within the multitenant buildings is 130 spaces. The site exceeds this requirement and meets all parking standards of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
The location will continue to be used for licensed professional tattooing and piercing. Additional services include reconstructive tattooing for postsurgical pigmentation, permanent makeup, and skincare services. Hours of operation are Sunday 12:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m., Monday and Tuesday 2:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m....
