Planning commission turns down tattoo shop


Rowlett planning and zoning commissioners this week voted against a proposal for the construction of a tattoo shop on Rowlett Road between Lakeview Parkway (State Highway 66) and Main Street. Commissioner Greg Peebles said he didn't want such a business so close to the city's biggest intersection and the reconstructed Main Street. Commission chairman Sean Kirk said he thought the business could attract crime. The decision can be appealed to the City Council, but Rowlett planner Teresa Biddick said she was unsure whether it would be.
