<br />Much of the intent and language in the current Section 330.03 has been addressed <br />through City Ordinance No. 329, relating to adult uses. The proposed Section 330.04 <br />would replace section 330.03 with language from the City of Shore view's Massage <br />Therapy regulations. Section 330.04 establishes standards for Massage Therapy <br />Establishments, Massage Therapy Home Occupations, and Massage Therapists. The new <br />section also establishes an application process requiring law enforcement background <br />checks and requires that all massage therapists and massage therapist establishments <br />(including home occupations) receive a license. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Licenses <br />Subsequent to the January meeting staff received a phone call from a woman interested in ~ <br />applying to be a Massage Therapist in Arden Hills. When alerted to the potential ~ our <br />revisions, the woman asked how the City would handle licensing (ClIffmtI) IfiaSG~8'" ;< - ~e. <br />not lit:~uo~d tluuu.01 t1" City). Since Massage Therapy is not currently licensed by the ~ <br />State, many cities have required the activity to be regulated by their own individual II<CeflS;~ <br />licenses. Staff reviewed the licensing situations for the cities ofRoseville, Mounds CJl"./t, <br />View, and Shoreview and found that all three required a license per each therapist and a <br />license per each establishment. The following table compares license fees of the three <br />ci ti es surveyed: <br /> <br />2005 M <br /> <br />Th <br /> <br />L' <br /> <br />ass age erapy I cense Fees <br />City Massage Therapy Massage <br /> Establishment License Therapist License <br />Mounds View $250 $100 <br />Roseville $300 $75 <br />Shoreview $100 $50 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Since the language and law enforcement agency are the same, and the administrative cost <br />isn't expected to be very high, staff would recommend utilizing a fee structure similar to <br />that of Shore view. In addition staff would recommend that each establishment and each <br />therapist shall require a license. <br /> <br />Massage Therapv Home Occupations <br />At the January meeting there was some discussion regarding hours, space occupied by the <br />home occupation, and other regulations proposed for Massage Therapy Home <br />Occupations. In addition to the requirements proposed in Section 330.04, a Massage <br />Therapy Home Occupation would have to comply with the regulations for Class II Home <br />Occupations (Section 6B3). These regulations establish standards including: <br />· A limited number of patrons may visit the premises <br />· The home occupation does not occupy more than 33 percent ofthe floor area of <br />the dwelling. <br />· Off-street parking for no more than 2 additional vehicles other than those required <br />by the occupants shall be permitted; on-street parking shall not be used to satisfy <br />required parking <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />\\Earth\PJanning\Planning Cases\2005\05-06 Ordinance Amendments for Therapeutic Massage (PENDING)\PC Report Massage <br />Therapy Revisions - 03020S.doc <br /> <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
