City of Sierra Madre

ORDINANCE NO. 1335

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIERRA MADRE AMENDING EXISTING MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 5.56, CURRENTLY ENTITLED “BATHS AND MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENTS”
WHEREAS, the City of Sierra Madre currently regulates massage services pursuant to Chapter 5.56 of the Municipal Code through a city permit process;
WHEREAS, Division 2, Chapter 10.5 of the California Business & Professions Code, (“B&P Code”), as amended, requires that cities allow massage services to be provided without the need for City permits as long as the massage therapists and practitioners have acquired a state certification on a voluntary basis or that a massage business

employs only state certified personnel to perform massage;
WHEREAS, the state created the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC) to regulate massage therapists and massage practitioners;
WHEREAS, the CAMTC has the goal of elevating the standing of massage practitioners and therapists in the community by enacting high standards for state certification thus distinguishing them from those businesses that serve as a front for prostitution and other illegal activities;
WHEREAS, the City seeks to conform its massage regulations to the requirements of B&P Code Chapter 10.5, as amended, and rather than establish a dual process for massage services permitted by the City and massage services permitted through state certification, the City will require all such persons and businesses providing massage

services in Sierra Madre to obtain state certification;

WHEREAS, establishing one regulatory scheme for massage services will create a consistent and clear process for applicants and will enable consumers to identify legitimate massage workers, thus protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Sierra Madre as follows:
SECTION 1: Municipal Code Amendments. Existing Chapter 5.56 is revised to provide as shown on Exhibit A to this ordinance. New Chapter 5.56 shall be renamed: “Massage Therapy, Massage Business or Establishments.”
SECTION 2. Municipal Code Amendment.

The following section within Subsection C of Section 17.36.020 of the Municipal Code is revised as follows:

Service Establishments
Day/Health spas

The following subsection is hereby added to Subsection C of Section 17.36.020 of the Municipal Code:

Service Establishments
Massage Therapy P

SECTION 3. Severability: If any selection, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this

Ordinance and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause and phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional.
SECTION 4. CEQA. This ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3), 15301 and 15303 for numerous reasons. First, only a limited number of massage therapist businesses have ever applied to do business in the city, and this is not expected to change. Thus, the impact of this ordinance will affect
only a handful of parcels at most. Second, if any massage therapy uses are authorized, they would be for facilities that meet the requirements of 15301 or 15303, as such uses are typically small in size, and would be expected merely to update the interior of existing structures, or to build a very small new structure. Third, massagetherapy uses are not significantly different in the impacts that they create from other uses already authorized in the commercial zone, such as nail salons, barber shops, and day/health spas (which already authorized accessory massage therapy uses), and such uses are already authorized via home occupation permits. Fourth, revising theprocedures by which certification is issued to massage therapists does not affect traffic, noise, or have any other environmental impact.

SECTION 5. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause the same to be published or posted in the manner prescribed by law.

PASSED AND ADOPTED this __th day of _____, 2013. YEAS: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Nancy Walsh, Mayor
