Title
Approving an ordinance on second reading with the caption reading: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PFLUGERVILLE, TEXAS; AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1015-09-09-08 OF THE CITY OF PFLUGERVILLE, TEXAS, AS AMENDED, BY APPROVING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR A BODY ART STUDIO IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT ON LOT 18 BLOCK 1 OF THE PFLUGERVILLE SUBDIVISION, LOCALLY ADDRESSED AS 117 E.

Recognizing the existing SUP would remain in effect at 101 E. Pecan St. if the proposed request is approved, the applicant has also requested the existing entitlement at that location be removed as a condition of approval.

If the Specific Use Permit is approved, it will enable a small Pflugerville business an opportunity to grow and continue to be successful in Old Town. There are no other body art studios within the city limits at this time and removing the existing entitlement as a condition of approval will require public review if a future body art studio is proposed. ...
