Conditional Use Permit No. 0053-25

Conditional Use Permit No. 0053-25 is a request by O7 Ink Lounge to relocate an existing tattoo studio into a 1,110-square-foot suite located at 126 N. 11th Ave. (APN 012-271-035) in Hanford, California. The project site is situated within the MX-C Corridor Mixed Use zone district in Kings County. The City of Hanford Planning Division is the lead agency overseeing the permit process, with Associate Planner Mark Manha serving as the primary administrative contact. The project was granted a Notice of Exemption on October 14, 2025, under Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. This exemption applies because the project involves the permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of an existing structure with negligible or no expansion, thereby removing the requirement for a full environmental review. Business owner Erely Ochoa is the primary point of contact for the studio.
