• Since there are not any adverse impacts associated with therapeutic massage as an accessory <br /> use,it appears that it could be allowed as a permitted accessory use.The business or person <br /> providing the service would still have to apply for a yearly license.Any concerns that the <br /> Council may have could be addressed at that time. <br /> Staff has also considered allowing therapeutic massage as a stand alone use. A massage <br /> therapy business would have the same type of impacts as a personal service establishment. <br /> Personal service establishments include beauty parlors,tanning salons and any place where, <br /> for a fee,personal services are provided to individuals on the premise.Because therapeutic <br /> massage fits the definition of a personal service establishment,it should be treated as such. <br /> Even though by definition therapeutic massage should be included as a personal service <br /> establishment, a therapeutic massage business would still be required to apply for a yearly <br /> license from the City Council. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff is recommending that therapeutic massage be allowed as an accessory use to the <br /> following: <br /> • medical clinics <br /> • chiropractic clinics <br /> • personal service establishments <br /> IIITherapeutic massage would still require a conditional use permit if a person wanted to do it <br /> as a home occupation. <br /> Staff is also recommending that the definition of"personal service establishment" be <br /> amended to specifically include therapeutic massage. <br />
