As a condition of the Freedom Machine Tattoo Specific Use Permit application to relocate to 117 E. Main St., staff recommends rescinding the existing Specific Use Permit for a Body Art Studio on Lots 10-12, Block A Pflugerville Subdivision, locally addressed as 101 E. Pecan St, approved through Ordinance No. 1068-11-02-08. If the SUP is not approved for Freedom Machine Tattoo at 117 E.
