ARCADE STREET - COMMERCIAL 40-ACRE STUDY

This report and recommended zoning changes are recommended to the Saint Paul Planning
Commission. For more informafion, please contact Joel Spoonheim, Saint Paul Department of
Platming and Economic Development, at (651) 266-6614 or joel.spoonheim@ci.stpaul.mn.us

ARCADE STREET - COMMERCIAL 4O-ACRE STUDY
Citv Council Reauest
City Council Ordinance O1-648, adopted on July 18, 2001, implemented a moratorium preserving
the status quo with respect to the use of property in the azea undez study for the Arcade Street
Small Area Plan. This ordinance was amended on numerous occasions and extended to have
effect until December 27, 2003.
Authority for the Studv
Amendments to the Zoning Code follow the procedures in Section b4.400 of the Code and
Minnesota Statutes Section 462357. Either the City Council or the Plamiing Commission can
initiate amendments. Public hearings with required notice are held by both the Planning
Commission and the City Council.
The Issue
The purpose of Arcade Street Commercia140-Acre Study is to establish zoning classifications
that support the redevelopment of the Arcade Street Corridor azid surrounding residential
neighborhood. The specific redevelopment goals were identified through the Arcade Street
Small Area Plan process as outlined below.
Land uses along Arcade range from singie family homes, the most restrictive use, to auto body
shops, the least restrictive land use. The uses are intermixed in no consistent pattern, resulting
in incompatibility among land uses.
Rezoning pazcels to be consistent with the vision for the Arcade Street Corridor will foster
appropriate development that strengthens the overall neighborhood.
This Arcade Street Commercia140 Acre Shxdy focuses only on the commercial properties along
Arcade. A subsequent 40-Acre Study accompanied by the Small Area Plan will address changes
in the residential azeas sunounding the commercial district.
The Process and Communi Goals
The Planning Commission established a task force with representatives from businesses and
residents. The task force met beginning in 2001 through late 2002. PED staff also attended
neighborhood meetings to discuss the key issues and goals.
Stated goa/s of the community include:
Enhance the appeazance of buildings and the streetscape through the application
of design standazds
2. Identify sites for land assembly to redevelop both commercial and residential
Page 2 of 5
03-93�
structures.
3. Improve the transportation infrastruchxre that will benefit both residents and
business owners.
4. Develop a strategy for retaining and recruiting business and residential
development.
5. Increase the availability of quality affordable housing and enhance the mazket for
mixed income housing.
The follo�i�ing land use and zoning issues were identified.
1. Some automotive businesses are not compatibie with the residential and smali business
chazacter of the neighborhood. Specific examples include:
a. Pazking of autos for sale on public streets in front of neighborhood residences
b. Caz parts, tires and other metallic junk aze stored outside the main building
c. Vehicles aze being repaired outside of main building •
d. Often there is not enough pazking for vehicies awaiting repair
e. The smell of paint fumes is o8en a problem for residents
f. Unsightly chain link fences aze built azound auto type uses
2. Parking space is limited for many businesses for both employees and customers therefore
pazking ea�tends into the neighborhood in front of residential properties near Arcade
S#reet.
3. Some commercial properties are used for storage and aze closed to the public, which is
not the highest and best use ofproperties along Arcade Street.
4. There aze several housing opportunity sites along Arcade Street, especiaily between the
major commercial nodes.
5. There are too many "bazs" along the street, which leads to increased nuisance activity,
which is a disturbance to neighborhood residents.
6. Single family homes are the predominant housing type for the neighborhood and often
abut commercial properties. This adjacent location is often a source of land use conflict
between property owners.
7. Most businesses abut single family residential properties which limits their ability to
expand{grow. As mentioried above, most businesses do not have enough parking and an
expansion of building size may trigger increased requirements for parking.
Based on the land use and zoning issues identified above, changes in zoning along Arcade
Street shouid be consistent with the following golicy statements:
1) Reduce intensive uses such as automotive sales and repair.
2) Provide for in-fill housing development
3) Promote mixed use development

The Current Zoning AIon�Arcade
The entire stretch of Arcade Street from Nevada to the Arcade Street Bridge is currently zoned
B-3, General Business District. In many cases lots that are occupied by single fanuly homes aze
also zoned B-3. Seeger Square Shopping Center located at the south end of Arcade Street is
zoned Planned Development (PD). This particulaz PD zoning district permits a certain
percentage of property to be used for retail space; the remaining properiy is reserved for light
manufacturing space. Much of the land along Maryland Avenue in the study azea is also zoned
B-3.
Zoning Code Amendments
The proposed zoning map (Appendix A) identifies changes in zoning that resuit from adoption of
the zoning study recoxnmendations.
In general, much of the property zoned B-3 will be changed to the mixed use classification of
TN2 ("TN" stands far Traditional Neighborhood). TN2 as a new zoning district under final
review for adoption by the Saint Paui City Council. If the TN2 classification is not in force at the
time this proposed ordinance takes effect, the existing mixed-use zone (OS-2) shall be
substituted only untii such time that T'N2 is in force. The conversion shali be automatic.
Consistencv with Comnrehensive Plan
The proposed zoning changes aze consistent with the City of Saint Paul's Comprehensive Plan.
The changes support the goals of providing housing on or neaz transit corridors. In addition and
more specifically, Strategy 2 of the Land Use Plan, "Neighborhoods as Urban Villages" states:
Neighborhood commercial strips built during the streetcar era should be preserved and retain
their pedestrian-oriented design. Commercial buildings should be located along the sidewalk.
In these areas the Zoning Code should no Zonger allow parking lots in front of new buildings,
except for gas stations.
The intent of this strategy is best met through the rezonings proposed.
Imnact of Recommendations
The proposed changes will have little or no immediate impact on the vast majority of existing
businesses and residents along Arcade. The impact will be noticed over tune as certain uses
previously aliowed under the general commercial zoning (B-3) aze no longer able to locate or
grow along Arcade. The following business types if existing currently will be allowed to
continue operations as legal non-conforming uses; however, no new businesses of these types
will be allowed. The following is not an e�austive list, but is merely iilustrative of existing uses
impacted by adopting TN2 zozung:
• Auto service station
• Auto repair
• Auto sales (indoor and outdoor)
• Auto body
• Car wash
• Pawn shops
• Currency exchange

Deaz Council President Bostrom and Councilmembers,
It is my pleasure to transmit to you the Arcade Street Commercial 40-Acre Study and
recommend its adoption as an amendment of the Saint Paul Zoning Code. The study was
prepared by a community-based task force which included representatives of the district council,
businesses along Arcade, ESNDC, and other stakeholders. It recommends zoning changes that
will preserve and encowage the neighborhood oriented, historic building and business types
found along Arcade primazily south of Maryland.
The Plamiing Commission held a public hearing and reviewed this plan for its consistency with
other elements of the comprehensive plan and City policy. They recommend its adoption. I
concur with their recommendation.

VI. PUBLIC HEARIlVG: Arcade Street 40-Acre Zoning Studv
Item from the Neighborhood & C�nent Planning Committee
(Joei Spoonheim, 65I/266-6614)
Mr. 7oe1 Spoonheim, planner with PED, provided the following overview of the plan. The
purpose of Arcade Street Commercia140-Acre Study is to establish zoning classifications that
support the redevelopment of the Arcade Street Coaidor and surrounding residential
neighborhood. The specific redevelopment goals were identified through the Arcade Street Small
Area Plan process which occurred during 2001-2003.
This Arcade Street Commercia140 Acre Study focuses only on the commercial properties along
Arcade. A subsequent 40-Acre Study accompanied by the Small Area Plan will address changes
in the residential azeas surrounding the commercial district. Rezoning parcels to be consistent
with the vision for the Arcade Street Corridor will foster appropriate development that strengthens
the overall neighborhood.
The entire stretch of Arcade Street from Nevada to the Arcade Street Bridge is currently zoned B-
3, General Business District. In many cases lots that are occupied by single family homes aze also
zoned B-3. Seeger Squaze Shopping Center located at the south end of Arcade Street is zoned
Planned Development (PD). Much of the land along Maryland Avenue in the study azea is also
zoned B-3.
In general, much of the properiy zoned B-3 will be changed to the mixed use classification of TN2
("TN" stands for Traditional Neighborhood). TN2 is a new zoning district under final review for
adoption by the Saint Paul City Council. If the TN2 classification is not in force at the time this
proposed ordinance takes effect, the existing mixed-use zone (OS-2) shall be substituted only until
such time that T'N2 is in force. The conversion shall be automatic.
The proposed changes will have little or no immediate impact on the vast majoriTy of existing
businesses and residents along Arcade. The impact will be noficed over time as certain uses
previously allowed under the general commercial zoning (B-3) aze no longer able to locate or
grow along Arcade. The following business types, if eacisting currently, will be allowed to
continue operations as legal non-conforming uses; however, no new businesses of these types will
be allowed. Examples of existing uses impacted by adopting TN2 zoning include: auto service
station, auto repair, auto sales (indoor and outdoor), auto body, car wash, pawn shops.
Staff received about 15-20 phone calls asking about the plan. Most people after clarifying their
questions and issues did not express opposition. Based on the input, review by the committee, and
the consistency of the plan with the City Comprehensive Plan, staff recommended approval by the
Commission.
The timing is of essence. Due to the expiring moratorium, the Planning Commission needed to
take action today. The City Council will hold another public hearing on November 5�` to review
the recommendations.
Commissioner Gordon asked Mr. Spoonheim with respect to his description of the businesses
that would become nonconforming businesses, was that caused by the change from B-3 to TN2?
03
Mr. Spoonheim stated that was correct. Commissioner Gordon asked about the changes from B-
3 to B-2, is it the same mix of businesses that would become nonconforming or different? Mr.
Spoonheim stated there are only 2 businesses that aze being rezoned to B-2 from B-3, and the
rezoning from B-2 is rezoning to a zone that is appropriate for the use as it is currenfly
functioning or proposed.
Commissioner Gordon questioned Mr. Spoonheun as to whether a nonconfomung use can
continue to operate? Mr. Spoonheim stated that it may. Commissioner Gordon stated that if a
nonconforming business wanted to expand then it would have to get a pemut to allow
expansion. Mr. Spoonheim stated that was correct. However, if a new business of the same
type wished to locate on Arcade Street it would not be allowed to. One example would be no
new used cars dealerships would be allowed under the TN2 zoning while an existing car
dealership could continue to operate and even expand if it sought and obtained approval from
the Plaiming Commission.
Commissioner Alton asked whether a service station like an oil change place or muffler shop
would be permitted as a conditional use in a TN2? Mr. Spoonheim stated they would not
allowed as new businesses; the only auto oriented uses that is allowed in TN aze gas station (e.g.,
Super America Store) which provides just gas and food.
Commissioner Alexander asked whether under the new zoning if someone sold the property could
that use continue or is it tied only to the current owner? Mr. Spoonheim stated the use can
continue so long as the business is not out of operation for more than 1 year. Mr. Spoonheim
stated that for eacample if the business closes for a year and is sold 18 months after it was closed,
or if the business is sold and then it is closed for over a year then it cannot resume unless it gets a
reestablishment of a non-conforming permit from the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Gordon stated that just so we are clear on that last one, if the business is sold and
shuts down for a week or two for changes in inventory or whatever and then opens up there is no
problem. Mr. Spoonheim stated that was conect.
Chair Morton read the rules of procedure for the public hearing and announced that notice of the
pubic heazing was published in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press on October 6, 2Q03, and was mailed
to the citywide early notification system list of recipients and other interested parties.
The following people spoke:
1. Tanika Nolan, 1045 Arcade Street, Saint Paul, MN. Ms. Nolan stated today she is here to
ask for the tatoo shops to be included as allowed in the TN2 zoning. This would be
consistent with B-2, B-3, and B2-C.
Commissioner Alexander asked Ms. Nolan why?
Ms. Nolan stated that if they wanted to expand they would have to come back to the zoning
in order to get that. She has concems about if there was a fire and if they couldn't rebuild
for over a year for some reason.
�� �3�
Commissioner Alton questioned Ms. Nolan saying she was speaking about a specific
property that proposed to be rezoned from B-3 to TN2 and you don't want the TN2? Ms.
Nolan replied she was all for the TN2, but wishes for TN2 to allow tatoo shops.
Couunissioner Alton asked her if she wanted it to remain the present zoning? Ms. Nolan
replied either remain B-3 or TN2 and drop the nonconforming. Mr. Soderholm stated that
tatoo shops aze allowed in B-2 zones as proposed to the Ciry Council they are not allowed in
TN2 zones, so in order to be confornring the easiest way would be for your shop if the
zoning were changed from B-3 to straight B-2 and then it would be confornung.
Alternatively the TN zoning has not been adopted by the Ciry Council yet, iYs a proposal
from this Commission to the City Council and iYs possible to go to the Ciry Council when
they have their public hearing on the 1'N Ordinance which he hopes will be on November
19�` and argue to the City CouncIl that tatoo parlors ought to be permitted as one of the uses
allowed in TN2 zoning. Mr. Soderholm stated there aze two options that work for Ms.
Nolan, one is in this rezoning proposal that the Commission is working on to be rezoned to
either B-2 or leaving it B-3, but probably B-2 instead of TN2; or get the City Council to
change the tatoo pazlor regulations in the TN Ordinance which stIll has not been adopted,
but is proposed.
Commissioner Gordon asked Ms. Nolan if her address was 1045 Arcade and where that was
located. Ms. Nolan stated it was to Cook and Arcade, 4 blocks south of Maryland.
MOTION: Commissioner Faricy moved to close the public hearing and the wrilten portion of
the public hearing. Commissioner Trevino seconded the molion. The motion carried orz a
voice vote with 2 abstention's (Alton, Kramer).
Commissioner Faricy stated we are kind of deviating from our usual procedure stating that when
we have a public hearing we close the public hearing and we refer it back to the committee, but
today as you have already heazd this is on a fast track. The task force began in 2001 composed
of local residents and business peopie and was chaired by Commissionex Potsch. In July of that
same year the Ciry Council imposed a moratorium and the deadline on that moratorium is
December 27, 2003. The City Council has already had two readings on the rezoning ordinance
and people who have testified here today can testify again in front of the City Council on
November 5, 2003. This task force did an excellent job and they did complete their work.
Unfortunately for us, this kind of slipped aside as a result of staff reductions so we have to take
a vote on this today. Commissioner Faricy stated the task force came up with a couple of
policies: 1) reduce the auto intensive uses, 2) provide for infill housing development, and 3) to
promote mixed use development. She reported to put this through we had to change the zoning,
the zoning was B-3, and they want the zoning changed to TN2. We already know that the
business types that are currently existing there will be allowed to continue operating as legal
nonconforming uses. Adoption of the zoning change will encourage new buildings to resemble
the pattern of traditional design which is common along the southern part of Arcade Street.
MOTION: Commissioner Faricy moved the Planning Corrzmission's recomraendation to
ap'prove of the zoning code amendments to the Arcade Street Commercial 40 Acre Study and
directs the Planning Administrator to forward the study in this resolulion to the Mayor and
City Council for their review and action. Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion.
�3-a3
Commissioner Johnson stated he concurred with the statements Commissioner Faricy made
stating he had been involved with this committee early on and attended a number of ineetings
when it was very ably staffed by Mr. Malloy. Commissioner Johnson said he is painfully aware
of the staff reductions in the Planning Department and he thinks that this process has been given
a full hearing and people have had an opportunity to comment, he doesn't see us short cutting
the process in any way by our acuons, but merely recognizing the painful reduction in City staff
and the need to meet the moratorium deadlines, so he strongly encouraged his fellow
Commissioners to vote for this motion.
Commissioner Fotsch reported they had a very good representation and turn out at their various
task force meetings. He stated that it was a consensus of everyone that this would be a positive
impact as far as Arcade Street is concemed which unfortunately has been neglected and
hopefully this will encourage the type of development that it certainly needs. He thanked Mr.
Spoonheim for getting this done very quickly. Commissioner Fotsch reported there will be a
meeting of the task force next Friday, October 31�` , just to go over any other concerns and
obviously if there aze concerns they can be brought before the City Council on November 5`� .
T7xe molion carried on a voice vote with 2 abstentions (Alton, Kramer).
Commissioner Faricy announced the next Neighborhood & Current Plaxuiing Committee
meeting will be next Wednesday, October 29�' , and on the agenda is the Sunray Suburban Small
Area Plan, the Phalen Westminster 40-Acre Study, and the Koch Mobil Master Plan. She said
there was a community meeting last Wednesday night where they were presented with the Koch
Mobfl Master Plan and said it is a very exciting project.

November 5, 2003
Council President Dan Bostrom
Members of the Council
Saint Paul City Council
City Hall and Court House
15 West Kellogg Boulevard
St. Paul, Minnesota, 55102
Dear Council President Bostrom and Members of the Council:
The Payne Phalen District Five PIanning CounciI Boazd of Directors respectfixlly offers to the Saint
Paul City Council its strong recommendation to approve the zoning code amendments to the
Arcade Street Commercia140-Acre Study. The October 28`�, 2003 District Five Boazd of Director's
meeting passed by vote a motion to recommend the Commercia140-Acre Study in light of the
expiration of the current moratorium.
Based on the input of the Arcade Small Area Plan Task Farce, which included many Arcade
Avenue business owners, we note that the proposed changes before you today will have a positive
impact on the businesses currently operating on Arcade Street. The Task Force also received input
from residential neighbors of Arcade Street, who support the use of the new "Traditional
Neighborhood DistricY' zoning classification in our community and this plan's clear limits on new
business venues such as adult use, auto service starions, auto repair or auto sales venues, car
washes or pawn shops. This citizen-led group, co-chaired by District Five's President Murph
Dawldns alongside Hal Fotsch of the Planning Commission, offered the recommendarions that
form the policy guiding this Commercia140-Acre Study and the plan before you.
The District Five Planning Council is also pleased that this plan conforms to our policy of
^ y S' ever.tixi `bT li.....,.,�SS� j�1Sp13C�.T.Pnt nFPX?St1Pb �J'1e2nPg�PC nr rPC?r
For the record, however, Dishict Five does not favor planning processes that impede citizen review
of locally proposed developments. While we aclaiowledge the constraints of necessity that put this
policy change on a fast track for City Council approval -- specificaliy, the expirafion of the
construcrion moratorium on Arcade Slreet — our board of directors has noted that, increasingly,
citizens and communiries are being asked to respond to plans after they have been generated and
are at their fmal stages of approval.

For example, in this plan, the classification of the southwest corner of Maryland and Arcade for B-
2 zoning was folded into the adoprion of the 40-Acre Study conhary to the views of the Task Force
and without further public review. In normal circumstances, the new private commercial
development now underway on this comer would �igger a request for a variance that, in tum,
would �igger our District CounciPs process of neighborhood norification and community input.
However, due to the expirarion of the moratorium, the District Five Planning Council Board has
voted not to oppose the zoning class of B2 for the SW comer of Arcade and Maryland — though
that decision was adopted by a 7� split vote.
The Dishict Five Planning Council anticipates continuing cooperation with the CiTy to assure that
community input is successfully engaged throughout the continuuxn of the communiry planning
process. Neither citizens nor systems can allow community input to become a bureaucratic add-on;
acrive citizenry is our primary basis for deternuning the common good. It is for the common good,
after all, that public systems exist to serve.
Finally, we'd like to commend former City Planner Rich Malloy for his extensive work with the
Task Force, and current City Planner, Joel Spoonheim, for his efforts to enable Dis�ict Five and
the Arcade Task Force to comment on the final draft before you, despite the rime pressure created
by the impending e7cpiration of the moratorium.

Re: Arcade Street Re-Zoning and 1045 Arcade Street
Dear Councilmember
I own property located at 1045 Arcade Street in St Paul, Minnesota. This properry is used both
as my residence, and as the piace of business for my company, ACME Tattoo Co., Inc. This
properry is significantly impacted by the proposed changes in zoning currently under
consideration by the St. Paul City Council. Under the proposal, the property would be
reciassified from B3 to TN2 non-conforming. I ask that the zoning for this propercy remain B3,
or in the altemative that it be reclassified to B2.
ACME Tattoo Co., Inc., has been located at 1045 Arcade Street for over 15 years. During that
time, it has developed a significant clientele base, including a high percentage of repeat
customers. The proposed zoning reclassification will result in a decrease in the value of the
property, because it can no longer be sold for the purpose of operating a tattoo shop. The market
value of 1045 Arcade Street could decrease by tens of thousands of dollazs under the proposed
zoning reclassification.
Since 1045 Arcade Street is the only property in the azea on which a tattoo shop is operating, I
believe it may have been unfairly singled out for reclassification. None of the issues identified in
the Arcade Street - Commercia140 Acre Study apply to the business at1045 Arcade Street. It is
not an automotive business and it does not have unsightly chain link fences or unsightly metailic
j unk. It is not a baz. Pazking is not a problem, because no more than two or three people get
tattooed at any one time. There is no nuisance activity on the property, and ttne police have never
been calied to the property. The property is kept clean and neat, and from the outside its
appeazance is no different than a real estate office or lawyer's office.
Tattooing is a form of expression and free speech. It has been accepted into the mainstream of
American life, and people from all walks of life are now getting tattoos. ACME Tattoo Co.. Inc.,
has been a leader in upgrading the technical and hygienic standards of the profession. It has beea
featured in local and national television shows and print media. Its proprietors have won
numerous awazds. The premises are periodically inspected by a State of Minnesota health

inspector. Last year, ACME Tattoo Co., Inc., hired an attomey to prepaze proposed legislation
which would make it illegal to tattoo any person under 18 years of age. The proposed bill is HF
878. While this bill failed to pass during the 20021egislative session, it is still pending and may
yet be approved.
In the event that the zoning reclassification to TN2 non-conforming is approved, I may seek fair
compensation for the d'uninution in value to 1045 Arcade Street. However, I hope that once you
have more complete information about ACME Tattoo Co, Inc., you will vote to maintain B3
zoning for 1045 Arcade Street, or, vote to reclassify the properry to B2. I invite you to personally
visit 1045 Arcade Street in the neaz future to look at the property. I think you would agree that
both the property and the business aze very well maintained, and are an asset to the diverse
culture and community azound Arcade Street.
Yours truly,

Dear Council President Bostrom and Members of the Council:
The Payne Phalen District Five Planning Council Board of Directors respectfully offers to the Saint
Paul City Council its strong recommendation to approve the zoning code amendments to the
Arcade Street Comrnercia140-Acre Study. The October 28�`, 2003 District Five Boazd of Director's
meering passed by vote a motion to recommend the Commercia140-Acre Study in light of the
expiration of the current moratorium.
Based on the input of the Arcade Small Area Plan Task Force, which included many Arcade
Avenue business owners, we note that the proposed changes before you today will have a positive
impact on the businesses currently operating on Arcade Street. The Task Force also received input
from residential neighbors of Arcade Street, who support the use of the new "Traditional
Neighborhood DistricY' zoning classification in our community and this plan's clear limits on new
business venues such as adult use, auto service stations, auto repair or auto sales venues, caz
washes or pawn shops. This citizen-led group, co-chaired by District Five's President Murph
Dawkins alongside Hal Fotsch of the Planning Commission, offered the recommendations that
form the policy guiding this Commercia140-Acre Strzdy and the plan before you.
The District Five Planning Council is also pleased that this plan conforms to ow policy of
preventi.ng unnecessary displacement of existing businesses or residents.
For the record, however, District Five does not favor planning processes that impede citizen review
of locally proposed developments. While we aclaiowledge the consiraints of necessity that put this
policy change on a fast track for City Council approval -- specifically, the expiration of the
construcfion moratorium on Arcade Street — our board of directors has noted that, increasingly,
cifizens and communities aze being asked to respond to plans after they have been generated and
are at their final stages of approval.
-�'� �-
d3 93 7
For example, in this plan, tfie classificafion of the southwest corner of Maryland and Arcade for B-
2 zoning was folded into the adoprion of the 40-Acre Study contrary to the views of the Task Force
and without fixrther public revieva. In normal circumstances, the new private commercial
development now underway on this corner would trigger a request for a variance that, in turn,
would trigger our District Council's process of neighborhood notification and community input.
However, due to the expiration of the moratorium, the Dishict Five Planning Councii Board has
voted not to oppose the zoning class of B2 for the SW corner of Arcade and Maryland — though
that decision was adopted by a 7-4 split vote.
The Dishict Five Planning Council anricipates continuing cooperation with the City to assure that
community input is successfiilly engaged throughout the continuum of the community planning
process. Neither cirizens nor systems can allow community input to become a bureaucratic add-on;
active citizenry is our primary basis for determining the common good. It is for the common good,
after all, that public systems exist to serve.
Finally, we'd like to comnrend former City Planner Rich Malloy for his extensive work with the
Task Force, and current City Planner, Joel Spoonheim, for his efforts to enable District Five and
the Arcade Task Force to comment on the final draft before you, despite the time pressure created
by the impending expiration of the moratorium.

Re: Zoning of Tattoo shops
Acme Tattoo has been located at 1045 Arcade Street since 1990. Acme Tattoo is
and has been a good business neighbor. Acme Tattoo attracts clients from all over the
metro azea. These peopte spend time visiting the east side and as a resuk patronize
neighborhood businesses.
Acme is well known throughout the Twin Cities and acts as a landmark for ---
Arcade Street. As a business owner I support having a tattoo shop located by my
business. I see benefits to having a tattoo shop as a business neighbor! Diversity of
clients, co�urritment to the community, artistry and historical value aze just some ofthese
benefits.
I support zoning tattoo shops as legal uses in the proposed TN ordinance, and
would encourage the city council to allow Acme Tattoo to continue operating as a B-2
zoned business.
