PROCEDURE FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS
Plan Commission Agenda Page 2 of 2 November 16, 2016 PROCEDURES FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS It is the Plan Commission s job to conduct public hearings in order to receive testimony for and against petitions for general amendments to the zoning ordinance, zoning map amendments, zoning text amendments, special use permits and amendments to special use permits. The procedure followed for public hearings is as follows: First, the Plan Commission secretary or the designated representative will read or describe written items, reports, and plans into the record. Second, the petitioner will present testimony in favor of the petition and will present any supporting plans or exhibits. Third, the Commission members will have an opportunity to question the petitioner. Fourth, the Commission will then receive citizen testimony both for and against the petition. Questions about the proposal may be directed to the petitioner or petitioner s witnesses and questions about the Plan Commission process itself may be directed to me. Following such testimony the petitioner and the Plan Commission may ask questions of those who testified. Finally, the petitioner may provide a rebuttal to any testimony in opposition. When all the testimony is brought into the record the hearing will be closed and the Plan Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council in the form of a motion or motions. In order to give testimony, you must provide your name and address on the registration sheet located at the entrance of the hearing room and sign in the space provided. By signing the registration sheet, you agree and understand that anything you say will be considered sworn testimony and affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. When giving testimony please approach the lectern, speak directly into the microphone so that you may be heard. Please begin by stating your name and giving your address. If you speak additional times, please state your name each time for the record. Please be concise when presenting your testimony and if your point has already been made, it is not necessary to repeat it. Each of these points is recorded and will be considered as the Plan Commission develops findings of fact and a recommendation or recommendations. You may provide your testimony in written form, but such written testimony must be presented to the Plan Commission secretary or the designated representative prior to the closing of this hearing. After the process is completed and everyone wishing to present testimony has spoken, the Commission will then decide whether it has heard adequate testimony in order to make a decision. If it has, the public hearing will be closed. After a public hearing is closed the Plan Commission will refrain from receiving any additional testimony either for or against the petition. There is one exception to this rule. City staff will submit a report based on the testimony presented at the hearing. This report will consider comments or concerns from all City Departments such as the Fire Department, Public Works Department or the Engineering Department.

Community Development Department Report CITY OF GENEVA PLAN COMMISSION NOVEMBER 16, 2016 Applicant AGENDA ITEM 4A ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENTS COSMETIC TATTOOING Kelly Hemmerich, Permanent Makeup by Kelly Request Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments to Section 11-2- 2 (Definitions of Words and Terms) related to the definition of the term cosmetic tattooing and Sections 11-6B-2, 11-6C-2, 11-6D-2, 11-6E-2, 11-6F-2, 11-6G- 2 and 11-7A-2) to expand the list of permitted uses in the B1, B2, B3, B3E, B4, B5 Business Districts, and OR Office Research District to include Cosmetic Tattooing. Recommendation To amend Section 11-2-2 (Definitions of Words and Terms) of the Zoning Ordinance as shown on Page 2, related to the definition of the term cosmetic tattooing and Sections 11-6B-2, 11-6C- 2, 11-6D-2, 11-6E-2, 11-6F-2, 11-6G-2 and 11-7A-2 as shown on pages 2-3. BACKGROUND Over the past several years, City staff have fielded calls from individuals desiring to perform cosmetic tattooing/permanent makeup in Geneva. Staff has considered the use of Cosmetic Tattooing to be accessory to a beauty parlor but now a business owner, Kelly Hemmerich of Permanent Makeup by Kelly, is seeking to perform cosmetic tattooing as the primary use. Staff is recommending a definition for cosmetic tattooing that would differentiate it from typical body art tattoos. Staff is also recommending that cosmetic tattooing be allowed as permitted use in the City s business and office districts. Cosmetic tattooing or permanent makeup is largely used by cancer survivors who have lost their hair to chemotherapy and other drug treatments or have skin deformities. Cosmetic tattooing simulates the appearance of common cosmetic applications for its clients such as eyeliner, lip liner, lip color and eyebrow enhancements to restore or improve the appearance of damaged or disfigured skin. REQUEST Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments to amend Section 11-2-2 (Definition of Words and Terms) related to the definition of the term Cosmetic Tattooing and Sections 11-6B-2, 11-6C-2, 11-6D-2, 11-6E- 2, 11-6F-2, 11-6G-2 and 11-7A-2 to expand the list of permitted uses in the B1, B2, B3, B3E, B4, B5 Business Districts, and OR Office Research District to include Cosmetic Tattooing. REVIEW COMMENTS Staff submitted an inquiry to the Planning Advisory Service (PAS) provided by the American Planning Association regarding the definition of cosmetic tattooing. The response from PAS included several definitions for cosmetic tattooing. PAS also provided examples from across the country regarding the definition of tattoos or cosmetic tattooing. Most zoning ordinances seem to treat cosmetic tattooing as tattooing. Yet some ordinances
Page 2 of 3 Agenda Item 4A Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments Cosmetic Tattooing differentiate cosmetic tattooing from tattooing by defining the use as a common cosmetic application and not body art. Staff believes differentiating cosmetic tattooing from other ink tattoos is appropriate for this proposed use because cosmetic tattooing is more a medical procedure than body art. Staff also evaluated the compatibility of this use with other zoning districts and recommend that Cosmetic Tattooing be allowed as a permitted use in the B1, B2, B3, B3E, B4, and B5 Business Districts and OR Office Research District. These districts allow nail salons, massage therapy, and office uses as permitted uses, except in the B3 District which allows these uses above or below the ground floor as permitted uses. Therefore, staff recommends limiting cosmetic tattooing in the B3 District to above or below ground floor. Similarly, the parking requirements proposed for cosmetic tattooing are the same as hair salons, nail salons, and professional offices at 4 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. Proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment To define the term cosmetic tattooing Staff recommends an amendment to Section 11-2-2 (Definition of Words and Terms) of the Geneva Zoning Ordinance to add the definition of the term Cosmetic Tattooing as shown below: COSMETIC TATTOOING: The practice commonly known as permanent makeup, in which micropigmentation or intradermal cosmetics are applied to semi-permanently or permanently simulate the appearance of common cosmetic applications such as eyelines, lip lines, eyebrow enhancements and beauty marks or to otherwise semi-permanently or permanently restore or improve the appearance of damaged or disfigured skin and outer bodily features to natural coloration and condition. Proposed Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment To add the term cosmetic tattooing as a permitted use to the following zoning districts: Sections 11-6B-2, 11-6C-2, 11-6D-2, 11-6E-2, 11-6F-2, 11-6G-2 and 11-7A-2 to expand the list of permitted uses in the B1, B2, B3, B3E, B4, B5 Business Districts, and OR Office Research District to include Cosmetic Tattooing. Proposed additions are shown in bold font.
