RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4135 approving Conditional Use
Permit 09-027 to establish and operate a day spa with massage services located at
2833 Park Avenue.
BACKGROUND
The proposed day spa with massage services (Massage Envy Spa) will be in the District
shopping center at Tustin Legacy, located at the northwest corner of the intersection of
Jamboree Road and Barranca Parkway. The District at Tustin Legacy is zoned as
Specific Plan 1 (SP-1 } MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and comprises Planning Areas 16, 17,

feet of retail and restaurant commercial uses. The proposed facility will be located
between the Whole Foods Market and T.J. Maxx Homegoods stores within an inline
tenant space (Figure 1).

Surrounding Properties
The District is bounded by Tustin Ranch Road to the north and west, Jamboree Road to
the east, and Barranca Parkway to the south. Commercial and industrial uses lie to the
south and east of the project site across Jamboree Road and Barranca Parkway in the
City of Irvine. Land to the north and west of the project site is also located within the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan and is currently being planned to accommodate a wide
variety of mixed uses.
Public Noticing
A public hearing notice identifying the time, date, and location of the public hearing for
the proposal was published in the Tustin News on November 26, 2009. Property
owners within 300 feet of the site were notified of the hearing by mail; a hearing sign was
posted on the site and a public hearing notice was posted at City Hall on November 25,
2009. The applicant was informed of the availability of the agenda and staff report for
this item.
Conditional Use Permit
Day spas offering massage services are not listed uses within Planning Area 19 of the
MCAS Tustin Specific Plan. Pursuant to Section 3.8.4.C. of the MCAS Tustin Specific
Plan, those uses not specifically listed are subject to a determination by the
Community Development Director as either permitted, permitted subject to a
conditional use permit or prohibited consistent with the purpose of the land use
designation of Planning Area 19 and the Specific Plan. The Community Development
Director determined that day spas offering massage services are permitted uses
subject to the approval of a conditional use permit. This determination is consistent
with similar uses located elsewhere in the City and outside of the MCAS Tustin
Specific Plan area. If approved, the conditional use permit could be transferred to
future massage operators at the site with their compliance to the conditions of
approval.
DISCUSSION
Massage Envy Spa is proposing to occupy a 2,460 square foot tenant space which was
previously occupied by the Right Start retail tenant. There are over 750 Massage Envy
clinics nationwide, twelve (12) of which are located in Orange County. Massage Envy is
a network of franchised membership-based businesses specializing in therapeutic
massage from professional, fully trained, Massage Therapists. A unique difference
between Massage Envy and other day spa and massage establishments is that
membership services are offered and allow clients are able to access the full network of
Massage Envy locations nationwide.
Massage Envy Spa is the franchise's concept of a day spa which incorporates the same
Massage Envy model, but adds additional spa services. Essentially the spa services
CUP 09-027

offer skin care treatments which include facials. Three of the twelve Massage Envy
locations within Orange County offer the Massage Envy Spa services (Anaheim Hills,
Huntington Beach, and Orange Hills).

Figure 2
The proposed tenant space would be laid out with a series of rooms to perform various
skin care treatments as well as different types of massage therapy (Figure 2). A lobby
and reception area would serve as a waiting room for clients as they arrive at the facility.
Hours of Operation and Parking
Massage Envy Spa proposes to operate during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Monday through Friday; 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday; and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
on Sunday. These hours are consistent with other businesses within the District
shopping center. The facility operates on an appointment basis.
A Parking Analysis for the District development was prepared by a licensed traffic
engineer and approved by the City. The Analysis calculated the subject tenant space
for retail purposes and the proposed use is consistent with retail parking requirements.

Redevelopment Agency and Police Department
The City of Tustin Redevelopment Agency has reviewed the proposed use and
determined that it is in conformance with the MCAS Tustin Redevelopment Plan and the
Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) between the City of Tustin and
Vestar/Kimco Tustin, L.P. The City of Tustin Police Department has reviewed and
approved the proposed use subject to the conditions contained within proposed
Resolution No. 4135.
FINDINGS
In determining whether to approve the Conditional Use Permit, the Planning
Commission must determine whether or not the proposed use will be detrimental to the
health, safety, morals, comfort, and general welfare of the persons residing in or working
in the neighborhood or whether it will be injurious or detrimental to property or
improvements in the vicinity or to the welfare of the City. A decision to approve this
request may be supported by the following findings:
1) Pursuant to Section 3.8.4.C the MCAS Tustin Specific Plan, the Director of
Community Development determined that day spas with massage services are
conditionally permitted uses within Planning Area 19.
2) The proposed use would be required to comply with the regulations for massage
establishments, massage operators, and massage technicians as set forth in
Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1368, adopted on August 4, 2009, and future
ordinances as adopted by the Tustin City Council.
3) The hours of operation are consistent with other businesses within the District.
No parking impacts are anticipated as the use would be classified as a retail use
in an existing retail tenant space.
4) The proposed massage services would be provided by appointment only during
the business hours of the massage establishment when the business owner,
manager, or massage operator is on-site.
5) The City of Tustin Redevelopment Agency and Police Department have reviewed
and approved the proposed use subject to the conditions of approval contained
within Resolution No. 4135.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4135 approving
Conditional Use Permit 09-027 to establish a day spa with massage services within the
District shopping center located at 2833 Park Avenue.
