EXPLANATION: On March 16, 2010, the City Council enacted Ordinance No. 2010- 33 as an
urgency ordinance, to take effect immediately, imposing a 45-day moratorium prohibiting e issuance
of massage technician permits and prohibiting new massage establishments from locating within the
City. On April 20, 2010, the City Council enacted Ordinance No. 2010-2334 extending the moratorium
for 10 months and 15 days. The moratorium will expire on March 5, 2011, unless extended. An
ordinance is proposed as a companion item on this agenda to extend the moratorium by 12 months.
This public hearing, which has been noticed as required by law, is a required preliminary step toward
adopting the ordinance.
The moratorium was originally enacted due to the need for the City to revise it regulations
pertaining to massage technician permits and massage establishments. The needed revisions have
been complicated by the unsettled status of state law in this area. Once the state law is clarified, the
City's regulations can be updated to conform to that state law.
At it's meeting on February 1, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2011-23, approving
mne issuance of a written report on this subject. In addition to the proposed ordinance, a copy of the
written report approved by the City Council on February 1, is attached.
