RESOLUTION NO. 46-02
A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO COOK COUNTY
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS DOCKET 7305 - SPECIAL USE (UNIQUE USE) FOR
A TATTOO PARLOR AT 2501 EAST OAKTON AVENUE
WHEREAS, the Village of Mount Prospect has considered the application, supporting
documents and evidence presented at the public hearing on August 19, 2002, regarding
Cook County Zoning Board of Appeals Docket 7305 requesting a Special Use (Unique
Use) for a tattoo parlor at 2501 East Oakton Avenue.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF
TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT, COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS:
SECTION ONE: The Village of Mount Prospect does not believe the proposed use is
in conformance with Cook County's standards for a Special Use (Article 13).
Specifically, the Village of Mount Prospect believes the proposed use will be a danger to
the public health, safety and general welfare given that no formal licensing for the
business or its employees is required by Cook County or the State of Illinois. In
comparison, the Village of Mount Prospect has adopted requirements that it shall be
unlawful for any person who is not a qualified, licensed medical professional to apply a
tattoo to the body of any person or to otherwise operate as a tattoo artist in the Village
of Mount Prospect. If the requested Special Use (Unique Use) is approved, the Village
of Mount Prospect requests that a condition be placed on the approval that would
require any tattoo artist within the business to be a qualified, licensed medical
professional, as is currently required within Mount Prospect.
SECTION 'T'VVO: The Village of Mount Prospect does not believe the proposed use is
in conformance with Cook County's standards for a Unique Use (Article 8). Specifically,
the Village of Mount Prospect does not believe the proposed use complies with the
standards for a Unique Use since the proposed tattoo parlor will not be an affirmative
benefit to the surrounding properties and neighborhood from a land use or economic
standpoint.
SECTION THREE: Based on the findings above, the Mayor and Board of Trustees of
the Village of Mount Prospect do hereby request that the Cook County Zoning Board of
Appeals and the Cook County Board of Commissioners deny the requested Special Use
(Unique Use) for a tattoo parlor at 2501 E. Oakton Avenue.
ECTION FOUR: This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its
passage and approval in the manner provided by law.
