City Council Minutes <br />August 7, 2017 <br />Page 4 <br />Dr. Michelle Eddy — Stated she is a chiropractor and owner of Focused Health and <br />Wellness Center and she is also speaking on behalf of Dr. Nicole Dotson, owner of <br />Intrinsic Wellness Center. Ms. Eddy stated they recently leased space at 12580 192"' <br />Court. She stated their broker and landlord were under the impression massage <br />services were allowed at this location and they had advertised the property as such. <br />She stated they recently found out zoning laws don't allow massage therapy and they <br />wouldn't have signed a lease if they had known this information. She requested the <br />area be rezoned to allow massage services. <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated massage is considered a personal service, which is not listed as <br />a permitted or conditional use in the Il District. He stated medical, optical, and <br />dental offices are allowed because labs are listed as a permitted use and these types of <br />services typically do lab work. He stated a lot of the uses in this multi -tenant building <br />are falling under the lab use. He stated if a doctor has a massage therapist working <br />under them as an employee, then from a zoning standpoint, it's a non -issue. He <br />stated in this situation, the massage therapist would be leasing space from the <br />doctor's office and operating as an independent contractor/business. He stated the <br />ordinance language is ambiguous in regards to this type of situation. He stated <br />Council direction is needed on whether the massage therapist must be an employee <br />of the doctor's business or if the Council would allow any massage/personal services <br />in the I1 zoning district. He stated staff would most likely not be supportive with <br />allowing massage therapy in this zoning district but an evaluation of the history of <br />the zoning should be reviewed for intent. <br />Council directed staff to further research the matter. <br />6.1 Introduction of New Employees <br />New employees were introduced to Council as noted in the staff report. Council <br />welcomed them to the city. <br />6.2 Proclamation: October IS, 2017, as Pregnancy and Infant Loss <br />Remembrance Day <br />Mayor Dietz read the proclamation. <br />Moved by Councilmember Olsen and seconded by Councihnember Ovall to <br />proclaim October 15, 2017, as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. <br />Motion carried 5-0. <br />6.3 Resolution Encouraging Residents to Attend the State Capital Grand <br />Opening <br />Mr. Portner presented the staff report. <br />p011AEI II <br />MATURE <br />
