FIRST STREET SPECIFIC PLAN (FSSP)
THIS PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT (CLASS 1)
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 15301 OF
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
PROVIDE MASSAGE SERVICES IN CONJUNCTION WITH A
HAIR SALON AND SPA SERVICES
That the Zoning Administrator adopt Zoning Administrator Action No. 05-021 approving
Conditional Use PBrmlt 05-033.
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting approval to provide massage services in conjunction with a
new salon, which is located within a retail center at 139 W. First Street (Attachment A -
Location Map}.
Salons are outright permitted in the Commercial land use designation of FSSP;
however, a conditional use permit is required for massage services to be established in
the Commercial General zoning districts. In addition, on June 3, 2002, the City Council
adopted Ordinance No. 1252 (Attachment B -Excerpts of Ordinance No. 1252), which
requires specific facilities for massage establishments and sets forth standard operational

CUP 05-033

conditions and permit requirements. The proposed massage facilities are provided in
accordance with the requirements of the City ordinance.
Site and Surrounding Properties
The salon is located in a commercial retail center within the FSSP Commercial zoning and
surrounded by commercial uses on the east, west and south and residential uses on the
north. The retail center includes three (3) separate buildings. The salon occupies a 4,000
square foot tenant space in a multiple tenant building at the northwest corner of the site.
Other tenants within the center include a sandwich shop, Mexican fast food, a coin
laundry, aretail-clothing and home accessory store, and a dental office.
DISCUSSION
Project Description
Massage services would be in conjunction with salon services and spa/facial treatments.
The facility is divided into two areas; a larger area is provided for hair styling and manicure,
and a smaller area is provided for spa services which include three (3) individual self-
tanning rooms, one (1) massage room, and two (2) facial rooms (Attachment C -
Submitted Plan). The massage room includes a wash basin, anon-locking door and five
(5) footcandle minimum lighting as required by Ordinance No. 1252. Massage services
will be provided to men and women one at a time in the proposed massage room and
occasionally in one of the facial rooms.
The hours of operation for the salon are compatible with other retail uses within the center
and are as follows:
Monday, Friday & Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday .9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Sunday Closed
Condition 2.1 would require all massage services to be provided to individuals and during
the operating hours of the salon.
Parking
Parking for the facility is shared with several other retail and office uses within the
center. The Tustin City Code does not specifically address massage establishments
under the parking requirements for commercial uses. Massage services have been
previously required to comply with the retail parking standards. Since the salon is
required to provide retail parking at a ratio of one (1) parking space for each 200 square
feet, adequate parking would be available for the proposed use. Condition 2.26 is
included that may require preparation of a parking demand analysis in case parking
problems are reported.
Zoning Administrator Report
CUP 05-033

Licensing Requirements
If this conditional use permit is approved, the applicant will be required to obtain a
Massage Operator Permit and each massage technician will be required to obtain a
Massage Technician Permit in accordance with Ordinance No. 1252.. As stated in
Ordinance No. 1252, the applicant and all technicians will be required to fulfill a number of
requirements related to providing identification and qualifications for providing massage
services.
ANALYSIS
In determining whether to approve the Conditional Use Permit, the Zoning Administrator
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.
Conditions 2.1 through 2.26 are included in Zoning Administrator Action 05-021 to
ensure compliance with Ordinance No. 1252, the Uniform Building Code, and
representations made by the applicant (Attachment D). A decision to approve this
request may be supported by the following findings:
Appropriate conditions are included to ensure compliance with the regulations for
massage establishments and technicians as set forth in Ordinance No. 1252 and
representations by the applicant and ensure compatibility with surrounding
commercial and residential uses.
2. The proposed massage services are ancillary to the salon use and can be
accommodated by the existing number of retail parking spaces required for the
salon. The proposed massage services would be provided to individuals and
would also be limited to one (1) person at a time.
3. Massage services would be provided during the salon's normal operating hours
and the proposed hours of operation from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday, Friday
and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and
closed on Sunday, which are consistent with the hours of operation for other
commercial uses in the area and compatible with nearby residential uses.
