SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2078 – APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
NO. CUP 21-02 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”) FOR A NEW
TATTOO SHOP AT 832 S. BALDWIN AVENUE
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 2078
SUMMARY
The Applicant, Wang Xin Liu, is requesting approval of Conditional Use Permit No. CUP
21-02 to allow a new tattoo shop (dba: Ants Tattoo) at 832 S. Baldwin Avenue. The tattoo
shop will only have one (1) tattoo station. It is recommended that the Planning
Commission adopt Resolution No. 2078 (Attachment No. 1) and find this project
Categorically Exempt under CEQA and approve Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 21-02,
subject to the conditions listed in this staff report.
BACKGROUND
The subject site is a 20,990 square foot, interior lot located along S. Baldwin Avenue
between W. Huntington Drive and Fairview Avenue. The site is surrounded by other
commercial properties to the north, south, west, and with multi-family zoned properties to
the east (rear) - refer to Figure No. 1 below for an aerial view of the site and Attachment
No. 2 for an Aerial Photo with Zoning Information and Photos of the subject property. The
site is a legal non-conforming lot and is developed with a 4,420 square foot single-story
commercial building that has five (5) commercial units that was built in 1949, and a single-
family residence at the rear of the parking lot area that was built in 1939 with a detached
garage. The single-family residence is currently occupied. As for the commercial units
that front S. Baldwin Avenue, they consist of a hair salon, a real estate office, a small
take-out restaurant, and a fortune teller. The proposed tattoo business will occupy a 750

square foot unit that was previously occupied by an upholstery repair shop since 1988.
The parking lot at the rear has (6) parking spaces and a detached garage that are shared
by the commercial units and residential unit. This area is accessed by a narrow driveway
next to the commercial building along the south side of the property. Since there are only
six parking spaces, each tenant has at least one parking space available to them. By
Code, a total of 14 parking spaces are currently required for the commercial uses,
however, parking does not have to be brought up into compliance since the uses do not
require more parking spaces than the previous uses.

PROPOSAL
Ants Tattoo offers a variety of tattoo artwork and designs to customers. The Applicant is
looking to expand his existing tattoo business and open a second location in the City .
Their existing business is located in the City of Tustin and has been there for 3 years. The
existing location operates at a larger scale with five (5) stations that runs by both
appointments and walk-ins.
The proposed business will operate at a smaller scale with only one tattoo station that will
be used by their existing employees from the other location, to train new employees, and
for licensed tattoo artists to rent for a one-day use or short-term use of a couple of days.
The business will operate by appointment only from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, seven days a
week.
The layout of the unit will consists of the tattoo station, a waiting area, a check-in area, a
restroom, and the rest of the area will be used for consultations – see Figure No. 2 below
for the Floor Plan and Attachment No. 3 for the Site Plan and Floor Plan. With the
exception of the work proposed to the existing restroom that has to be brought up into
N

compliance with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), no other additional tenant
improvements are proposed.
ANALYSIS
The City’s Development Code allows tattoo uses in the C-G zone subject to the review
and approval of a Conditional Use Permit to ensure that the proposed business is an
appropriate use for the property and is compatible with other uses in the surrounding
area. The proposed tattoo shop is taking over a vacant tenant space that was previously
occupied by an upholstery business. Both uses have the same parking requirement of
one (1) parking space per 200 square feet of gross floor area, which based on the unit
size of 750 square feet, equates to four (4) parking spaces. Thus, the change in business
will not impact parking as the new business does not require more parking spaces than
the previous use.
The proposed tattoo shop will only have one station and will operate by appointment only.
There are three other existing businesses on the site that operate by appointment only
(SLJ Real Estate, Votre Salon, and The Psychic Center). Therefore, the nature of the
business will be compatible with the other existing businesses on the site that also have
relatively small business operations.
The City’s Police Department has reviewed the request and did not have any concerns
with the proposed business. In addition, Staff contacted the City of Tustin Police
Department and Code Services Division to inquiry about the Applicant’s existing
business, and according to their records, there were no reports of crimes, call for services,
or code violations for this business. The business will comply with all requirements and
protocols required by the Los Angeles County Health Department.

FINDINGS
Section 9107.09.050(B) of the Development Code requires that the Planning Commission
may approve a Conditional Use Permit if all of the following findings can be made:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan and is allowed within the applicable zone, subject to the granting
of a Conditional Use Permit, and comply with all other applicable provisions of
the Development Code and the Municipal Code.
Facts to Support This Finding: The proposed tattoo shop will be consistent with the
Arcadia General Plan which allows for a wide-range of commercial uses that serve
citywide markets. The site is zoned C-G (General Commercial) which under
Development Code Section 9102.03.020, Table 2-8, allows Personal Restricted
Services such as the proposed tattoo use, subject to the review and approval of a
Conditional Use Permit. The tattoo business will comply with all other applicable
provisions of the Development Code and the Municipal Code. The use will be
consistent with the intended commercial use of the property, and will be required to
comply with all applicable Los Angeles County Health Department requirements;
therefore, approval of a tattoo business will not adversely affect the comprehensive
General Plan, and is consistent with the following General Plan policy:
Land Use and Community Design Element
Policy LU-6.7: Encourage a balanced distribution of commercial development
throughout the City, ensuring that neighborhoods and districts have adequate access
to local-serving commercial uses.
2. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity
will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.
Facts to Support This Finding: The proposed tattoo shop will occupy a 750 square
foot tenant space within an existing commercial building. The proposed tattoo shop
does not require any additional parking since it requires the same amount of parking
as the previous business. The proposed use will be compatible with the existi ng uses
on the site and will have similar operational characteristics as the other businesses on
the site. The tattoo shop will only have one tattoo station, and will operate by an
appointment only. The business will also close by 8:00 PM, which is earlier than most
commercial businesses. Therefore, the proposed tattoo use will not be detrimental to
the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.
3. The site is physically suitable in terms of:
a. Its design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics of the
proposed use in order to accommodate the use, and all fences, landscaping,
loading, parking, spaces, walls, yards, and other features required to adjust
the use with the land and uses in the neighborhood;
Resolution No. 2078 - CUP 21-02
July 13, 2021
Page 5 of 8
Facts to Support This Finding: The business will occupy an existing unit space
that is physically suitable to accommodate the use since the tattoo shop only
consist of one tattoo station. Besides upgrading the existing restroom in order to
provide an ADA compliant restroom, no other major renovations to the unit or
existing building are required to accommodate the use. A tattoo shop is a type of
business that is typically located within multi-tenant commercial center with small
tenant spaces that consists of a variety of service based businesses that are
compatible to one another. No additional parking is required for the new business.
Therefore, the unit and site are suitable for the proposed use.
b. Streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to accommodate
public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access.
Facts to Support This Finding: The site is located along S. Baldwin Avenue
between W. Huntington Drive and Fairview Avenue. These streets are designated
with the capacity to accommodate both public and emergency vehicles. The
streets are adequate in width and pavement type to carry emergency vehicles and
traffic generated by the proposed and existing uses on the site.
c. Public protection services (e.g., fire protection, police protection, etc.).
Facts to Support This Finding: The Fire and Police Departments have reviewed
the application and determined that no additional improvements are needed to
provide adequate protection services to the subject site.
d. The provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste collection
and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and
disposal, etc.).
Facts to Support This Finding: The subject unit is located within an existing
commercial building which is adequately serviced by existing utilities. Therefore,
no impact to utilities or the City’s infrastructure are anticipated.
4. The measure of site suitability shall be required to ensure that the type, density,
and intensity of use being proposed will not adversely affect the public
convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, constitute a nuisance,
or be materially injurious to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the
vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
Facts to Support This Finding: The proposed tattoo use will not be detrimental to
the public health or welfare, or the surrounding properties. The size and nature of the
proposed use will be compatible with the other existing uses in the commercial
building and it is a relatively small operation since it will only have one customer at a
time and it will close by 8:00 PM, which is earlier than most commercial business es.
No additional parking is required since the use has the same parking requirement as
the previous business. The business shall be subject to all of the regulations and
requirements of the Los Angeles County Health Department requirements. The
Resolution No. 2078 - CUP 21-02

Arcadia Police Department reviewed the application and had no concerns. Therefore,
the site is suitable for the proposed use.
