Anoka’s zoning code now includes rules and definitions for cosmetic tattooing, body-art establishments, personal-service establishments, and spas. The change is intended to allow cosmetic tattooing in qualifying businesses while maintaining applicable state licensing requirements. Proposed changes to charitable-gambling rules, including a proposed gambling tax and contribution, were not decided and will receive further review at the January 12 worksession.
