The Mt. Pleasant City Commission has postponed indefinitely any decision on allowing tattoo parlors in downtown Mt. Pleasant.
Adding such establishments to the lost of permitted issues would disrupt the downtown area, Community Development Director Tony Kulick said at a Jan. 3 commission meeting.
The commission voted no unanimously on the decision to allow tattoo parlors in the C-2 district.
In other action, the commission voted to allow merchandise displays and food sales on the sidewalks downtown was passed unanimously.
Kuilick said that if places of business have been having sales on the sidewalk, they have been doing it illegally and will need to purchase a license and meet safety standards to be legal.
Commissioners also unanimously voted against changing the 100-foot rule limit between bar and tavern establishments.
Kuilick said the city gets a lot of nuisance complaints about places serving
alcohol, but there have been no requests to establish another bar or restaurant downtown.
