RECOMMENDATION
That the Zoning Administrator adopt Zoning Administrator Action (ZAA) No. 19-003
approving Use Determination (UD) 2019-00002 to determine a chiropractor with massage
as a conditionally permitted use within SP-9 and CUP 2019-00007 to allow a chiropractic
office with massage services by massage technicians other than the chiropractor as an
accessory use in an existing 1,097 square-foot office building located at 165 Yorba Street.
APPROVAL AUTHORITY
The proposed chiropractic office with accessory massage services performed by other
than the chiropractor is not listed as a permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited use
within the Yorba Street Specific Plan (SP-9). Therefore, a use determination is necessary
to decide if the proposed use would be permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited in
SP-9 pursuant to Section 9298 of the Tustin City Code (TCC). Certain CUP requests as
stated in Section 9299 (b)(3)(f), including Minor CUPs for existing development where
there would be no change of primary use, no expansion of floor area and the request
would not alter the original intent of the project or site, can be considered by the Zoning
Administrator.
BACKGROUND
Location and Surrounding Properties
The project site is located within SP-9 located on Yorba Street between First Street and
Irvine Boulevard (Figure 1). The subject property has a General Plan designation of PO
(Professional Office), which is intended primarily for single tenant and multi tenant offices
that include legal and medical services, financial institutions, corporate and government
offices, and other supporting uses. The project site is located on an approximately 5,300
square foot lot,which consists of an office building with five(5)off-street parking spaces and
a small amount of landscaping. SP-9 is a small Specific Plan comprising 2.52 acres and all
parcels contain non-residential/professional uses.
The subject property lot dimensions are 50 feet by 105.55 feet. SP-9 provides
development standards for small and large lot development. A small lot is defined as any
single parcel with street frontage less than 100 linear feet and/or gross land area less
than 6,000 square feet. The subject property meets both of these standards and although
no actual development is proposed, parking standards as described below are regulated
under the Small Lot Development standards.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND:
The applicant is a licensed chiropractor and maintains her practice at 165 Yorba Street.
Applicant proposes to offer therapeutic massage services by a massage technician to her
patients in conjunction with her chiropractic practice. Therapeutic massage would be

and only on an as needed basis. No exterior modifications are proposed.

USE DETERMINATION:
Permitted uses within SP-9 include professional and general offices, home occupations,
and other similar uses. The proposed massage services as an accessory use by anyone
other than a state-licensed chiropractor or other exempted professional is not listed as a
permitted, conditionally permitted, or prohibited use within SP-9. SP-9 is similar in land
use characteristics to the PR District which is regulated by TCC Section 9231. A
chiropractic office is a permitted use and a chiropractor with accessory massage services
is a conditionally permitted use in the PR zoning district. Due to the similarity between
SP-9 and the PR District, the proposed determination that a chiropractic office where
massage services as an accessory use as a conditionally permitted use in SP-9 can be
supported.
The parking ratio for a medical office in SP-9 is six(6)spaces per 1,000 square feet. TCC
Section 9263g allows for medical use parking at a ratio of 11250 for the first 4,000 square
feet and 611,000 for the remaining square footage. It is recommended that a similar
standard be applied to SP-9 when determining the parking ratio for medical uses.
In compliance with TCC Section 9298, the following factors have been considered in
determining the proposed Use Determination:
(1) Effect upon the public health, safety and general welfare of the neighborhood
involved and the City at large. Massage practitioners and therapists are certified
healing arts professionals pursuant to Section 4600 of the Business &
Professions Code, Division 2, Healing Arts. Massage practitioners would
provide therapeutic massage under the supervision of the chiropractor.
(2) The proposed use would not result in a negative impact as it would remain as
a professional office which is allowed in SP-9 and parking for the use is
adequate.
(3) Effect upon traffic conditions. No traffic issues are anticipated.
(4) Effect upon the orderly development of the area in question and the City at
large, in regard to the general planning of the whole community:
a. SP-9 does not specifically identify chiropractic offices, where massage
services are provided as an accessory use by anyone other than a state-
licensed chiropractor or other exempted professional.
b. SP-9 is similar in land use characteristics to the PR District where a
chiropractic office with accessory massage services is a conditionally
permitted use and the proposed use is consistent with the PO
(Professional Office) General Plan land use designation.
UD 2019-000021 CUP 2019-00007
Page 6
c. A determination that SP-9 is a professional zoning district similar to the
Professional District would bring this conditionally permitted use into
alignment.
(5) All other pertinent facts. Massage services provided as an accessory use by
anyone other than-a state-licensed chiropractor or other exempted professional
as a conditionally permitted use in SP-9 would allow the City to place conditions
of approval on the use to alleviate potential concerns such as compliance with
Section 3665 of the TCC, parking, and other issues that may arise related to the
use.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT:
Chiropractic Office with Massage Services
In 2014, the State legislature added the Massage Therapy Act to Business & Professions
Code, Division 2 Healing Arts Section 4600 which established a massage therapist and/or
practitioner as a certified professional who administers massage for compensation under
that Act.
In 2015, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1462, codified in TCC Section 3661, et seq.,
to regulate massage establishments. Ordinance 1462 also amended TCC Section
9231(c) to allow chiropractic offices, where massage services are provided as an
accessory use by anyone other than a state-licensed chiropractor or other exempted
professional upon approval of a CUP in the PR District. The ordinance also created a
massage technician and ownerloperation application process, facilities and operational
requirements, and provisions for prohibited conduct which serve as the basis of the City's
conditions of approval for a licensed massage establishment. ZAA 2019-003 contains
standard conditions of approval related to the site and use (Exhibit"A") and encapsulates
the provisions of TCC Section 3661, et seq. (Exhibit "B").
Pursuant to'proposed Condition of Approval 1.7, the use may be reviewed annually or
more often by the Community Development Department to ensure compatibility with the
area and compliance with conditions of approval. Should any issues arise, the
Community Development Director may impose additional conditions to eliminate any
negative impacts or revoke the CUP.
Hours of Operation
The applicant's current and proposed hours of operation are as follows:
MondayfWednesday/Friday: 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Tuesday/Thursday: 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Alternate Tuesdays: 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
The hours of operation are within the typical operating hours of the other professional
office uses within the area.
UD 2019-000021 CUP-2019-00007

Parking
Subject to approval of UD 2019-00002 herein, the parking calculation for the 1,097
square-foot chiropractic office would be one (1) space for each 250 square feet for the
first 4,000 square feet of medical space, resulting in a parking requirement of five (5)
parking stalls. The site is currently parked with five (5) parking stalls and is therefore
adequate for the chiropractic office with accessory therapeutic massage use.
Should parking problems arise, Condition 1.8 of ZAA 19-0003 authorizes the Community
Development Director, Police Chief and/or Public Works Director to require measures to
alleviate the parking problem.
FINDINGS:
In determining whether to approve the UD and CUP for the proposed chiropractic office,
where massage services are provided as an accessory use by anyone other than a state-
licensed chiropractor or other exempted professional, the Zoning Administrator must
consider specific criteria and/or make the required findings for the UD and CUP. A decision
to approve this request as conditioned may be supported by the following findings:
Use Determination:
1. Massage practitioners and therapists are certified healing arts professionals
pursuant to Section 4600 of the Business & Professions Code, Division 2,
Healing Arts. Massage practitioners would provide therapeutic massage under
the supervision of the chiropractor.
2. The proposed use would not result in a negative impact as it would remain as
a professional office which is allowed in SP-9 and parking for the use is
adequate..
3. No traffic issues are anticipated.
4. SP-9 is similar in land use characteristics to the PR District where a chiropractic
office with accessory massage services is a, conditionally permitted use and
the proposed use is consistent with the PO (Professional Office) General Plan
land use designation.
5. SP-9 does not specifically identify.chiropractic offices,where massage services
are provided as an accessory use by anyone other than a state-licensed
chiropractor or other exempted professional. This type of use is conditionally
permitted in the Professional (PR) District. (TCC 9231 c2).
6. A determination that SP-9 is a professional zoning district similar to the PR
District would bring this conditionally permitted use into alignment.
UD 2019-000021 CUP 2019-00007
Page 8
7. Massage services provided as an accessory use by anyone other than a state-
licensed chiropractor or other exempted professional as a conditionally
permitted use in SP-9 would allow the City to place conditions of approval on
the use to alleviate potential concerns such as compliance with Section 3665
of the TCC, parking, and other issues that may arise related to the use.
Conditional Use Permit:
In determining whether to approve the CUP for the proposed use, the Zoning Administrator
must.consider that the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use will
not, under the circumstances of this case, be detrimental to the health, safety, morals,
comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such
proposed use, nor be injurious or detrimental to the property and improvements in the
neighborhood of.the subject property, or to the general welfare of the City of Tustin which is
encapsulated in the following findings:
1. The proposed use, as conditioned, would not be detrimental to the surrounding
properties in that the use would occur entirely within the existing office building.
The number of patients, hours of operation and type of business are consistent
with other businesses in SP-9.
2. As conditioned, the chiropractic office would operate with a maximum of one (1)
chiropractor and .one (1) massage technician working at any given time and
parking is adequate for the proposed use.
3. The proposed business hours are consistent with the hours of operation for other
uses in the area and therapeutic massage services would be limited to the hours
when the chiropractic professional is onsite.
4. As conditioned, the chiropractic professional is.responsible for ensuring that all
massage technicians operating at this location would obtain massage permits
pursuant to TCC Section 3661, et seq.
5. The Tustin Police Department has reviewed the application and has no
immediate concerns.
6. As conditioned, CUP 2019-00007 may be reviewed by the Community
Development Director, if necessary, to ensure compatibility-with surrounding
uses. If the use is not operated in accordance with CUP 2019-00007 and is
found to be a nuisance or negative impacts are affecting the surrounding uses,
the Community Development Director would have the authority to impose
additional conditions to eliminate the nuisance or negative impacts or may
initiate proceedings to revoke the CUP.
Staff recommends the Zoning Administrator adopt ZAA No. 19-003 approving UD 2019-
00002 and CUP 2019-00007 authorizing a chiropractic office with massage services as
an accessory use by massage technicians other than the chiropractor on the property
