SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF CODE AMENDMENT 2011-006 (ORDINANCE NO. 1407} -BODY ART On September 9, 2010, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided Anderson v. City of Hermosa Beach and held that the process and business of tattooing are pure forms of expression fully protected by the First Amendment. According to the Court, although the City of Hermosa Beach had significant health and safety interests in regulating the tattoo parlors, a complete prohibition was unreasonable because it was substantially broader than necessary to achieve the city's health and safety goals. Tattoo establishments are not currently listed as permitted uses in the Tustin Zoning Code. Because of the practical and legal constraints placed upon the City by the Anderson v. City of Hermosa Beach case, Code Amendment 2011- 006 is proposed to establish body art facilities, including tattoo establishments, as permitted uses within the City of Tustin Retail Commercial (C-1), Central Commercial (C-2), .Heavy Commercial {C-3), and Commercial General (CG) Zoning Districts, subject to operational requirements, and establish that all body art practitioners practicing at such facilities shall be licensed.

SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF CODE AMENDMENT 11-002 (ORDINANCE NO. 1397), CLARIFYING THE MEANING OF LEGAL NONCONFORMING USES AND STRUCTURES IN THE CITY OF TUSTIN At the request of the City Council, staff prepared Ordinance No. 1397 to provide clarity, provide consistency and reduce any ambiguity related to any nonconforming structures, uses and lots in the City. The Tustin City Council requested that the Planning Commission consider verbatim City Council minutes of March 15, 2011 and Ordinance No. 1397, and provide a recommendation on the proposed ordinance to the Tustin City Council. Between September 13 and October 11, 2011, the Tustin Planning Commission held a workshop and two public hearings on the matter. On October 11, 2011, the Tustin Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4183 recommending that the Tustin City Council adapt Ordinance No. 1397, as amended. Motion: It was moved by Councilmember Murray and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Nielsen to have second reading by title only and adoption of Ordinance No. 1397 (roll call vote). Motion carried 5-0 ORDINANCE NO. 1397 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CODE AMENDMENT 11-002 AMENDING VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE TUSTIN CITY CODE TO CLARIFY THE MEANING OF LEGAL NONCONFORMING USES AND STRUCTURES IN THE CITY OF TUSTIN 15.
