BUILDING CODE — Alderman Zadrozny, Chairman
Alderman Zadrozny reported that at the June 1, 2020 Des Plaines City Council
meeting, the Community and Economic Development (CED) was asked to research
and report back to the City Council information concerning tattoo parlors and body
piercing establishments.
The Community Development Department reported that the City of Des Plaines does
not currently allow tattoo parlors or body piercing establishments per the Des Plaines
Zoning and Public Safety Ordinances. This has created some confusion as there is one
such establishment located within the City of Des Plaines. This particular tattoo parlor
has been in existence since the 1980s and is allowed to remain in business, but the
operators must follow the regulations found in Title 6 of the Des Plaines Municipal
Code, Police Regulations.
OTHER
COMMENTS:
Page 5 of 5 07/06/20
CED staff was directed by City Council to survey other communities with regards to
body art establishments and to come up with suggested text amendment language to
the various Titles within the Des Plaines Municipal Code to allow for such uses. A
survey was subsequently sent out to members of the Northwest Municipal
Conference and nine communities responded to the survey. Most communities do not
allow for such uses with three communities allowing these uses as a special
use/conditional use. With the survey response in mind, CED staff composed
suggested language below for City Council to consider as a discussion matter.
The consensus was to forward this item for a text amendment case to the Planning
and Zoning Board for a recommendation.
Due to the excessive amount of fireworks in the city this year, a local ordinance may
be enacted to help with enforcement.
Information regarding the Police Departments' use of force and discipline policies will
be added to the Police Department's web page.
CLOSED Moved by Lysakowski, seconded by Rodd, to adjourn to Closed Session at 7:46 p.m.
SESSION: to discuss Collective Bargaining and Personnel. Upon roll call, the vote was:
AYES: 6- Lysakowski, Rodd, Zadrozny
Chester, Smith, Goczkowski
NAYS: 0- None
ABSENT: 2- Moylan, Brookman
Motion declared carried.
ADJOURNMENT: Moved by Zadrozny, seconded by Lysakowski, to adjourn the meeting. Motion
declared carried. The meeting adjourned at 9:08 p.m.
