HomeMy WebLinkAboutORD 1462 (2015) ORDINANCE NO. 1462 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING AND RESTATING PART 6 OF CHAPTER 6 OF ARTICLE 3 OF THE TUSTIN CITY CODE, AND AMENDING PARTS 3, 6 AND 9 OF CHAPTER 2 OF ARTICLE 9 OF THE TUSTIN CITY CODE RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENTS (CODE AMENDMENT 2015-003) The City Council of the City of Tustin does hereby ordain as follows: SECTION I. Findings. The City Council finds and determines as follows: A. The City is authorized to regulate massage and massage establishments pursuant to California Business and Professions Code Sections 460(c), 4612(b) and 16000, California Government Code Section 51030 et seq., and Section 7 of Article XI of the California Constitution. B. In 2008, the state legislature adopted Senate Bill 731 ("SB 731"), Section 4600 et seq. of the Business and Professions Code, relating to voluntary statewide certification of massage practitioners and therapists, and restricting local control of massage establishments. C. SB 731 precluded cities from imposing local licensing and regulatory requirements on massage establishments that utilized state-certified massage therapists and practitioners exclusively. D. SB 731 mandated that any zoning requirements applicable to massage establishments, "shall be no different than the requirements that are uniformly applied to all other individuals and businesses providing professional services." E. Prior to the enactment of SB 731, massage establishments were permitted to be located within the Retail Commercial District (C1), Central Commercial District (C2), Heavy Commercial District (C3), and Commercial General District (CG) (collectively, the City's "Commercial Zones") only upon the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. F. Prior to the enactment of SB 731, massage establishments were prohibited in the Professional District (Pr). G. Following the enactment of SB 731, and consistent with the bill's mandate, the City amended its Land Use Code(Article 9 of the Tustin City Code)to permit massage establishments to be located within the City's Commercial Zones and the Professional District by right, and without need for a conditional use permit. Ordinance No. 1462 Page 1 of 21 H. Since the enactment of SB 731 the City has experienced a proliferation of massage establishments. Whereas eleven (11) massage establishments were located within the City in 2008, there are presently forty-one (41) licensed massage establishments in the City. The enactment of SB 731 has had as an unintended consequence the proliferation of illicit massage establishments that are fronts for prostitution and may also be involved in human trafficking. J. Numerous massage establishments located within the City commonly advertise their services on adult-only websites using suggestive language and provocative photographs of scantily-clad women. K. Numerous massage establishments located within the City generate reviews on websites where patrons can post reviews and information regarding the sexual services provided at these establishments. L. On September 18, 2014, the Governor of California signed Assembly Bill 1147, also referred to as the "Massage Therapy Act," which restores local land use authority over massage establishments by removing SB 731's broad state preemption of local massage ordinances and gives local governments greater authority to establish " reasonable regulations to manage massage establishments in the best interests of the individual community, subject to specific limitations. M. The City seeks to conform its massage regulations to the requirements of the Massage Therapy Act and to regulate the business of massage to the extent authorized by the Massage Therapy Act. N. The permit requirements and restrictions imposed by Code Amendment 2015-003 are reasonably necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of citizens of the City. O. If adopted, the proposed amendment and restatement of Part 6 (Massage Establishments)of Chapter 6 of Article 3 of the Tustin City Code will regulate the business of massage through business licensing requirements to the extent authorized by the Massage Therapy Act. The proposed amendments to the City's Land Use Code would (1) update the references, and definitions applicable to massage establishments, (2) prohibit the location of new massage establishments within the Professional District, and (3) require a Conditional Use Permit for the establishment of any new chiropractic office in the Professional District, where massage services are provided as an accessory use by anyone other than a state-licensed chiropractor or other exempted professional, as specified. P. That on September 22, 2015, a public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held on Code Amendment 2015-003 by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 4296 and recommended that the City Council Ordinance No. 1462 Page 2 of 21 approve Code Amendment 2015-003 concerning the regulation of massage establishments. Q. That on October 20, 2015, a public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held on Code Amendment 2015-003 by the City Council. SECTION II.
