• No more than two (2) massage therapist individual licenses will be issued to any business establishment. Comment: The applicant is proposing three massage therapists on the site. A text amendment to Section 2202 of the City Code of Ordinances is being considered at this time. This amendment would allow massage therapy as a principal use to license up to three therapists at a time. Any recommendation of approval for this application is subject to the approval of this amendment. • Licenses may be denied or rescinded if the premises of the establishments do not meet the requirements of the City Council, and of the building, safety and sanitation regulations of the City of Little Canada, and State of Minnesota. • Licenses may be denied or rescinded if there is any fraud or deception involved in the license application. • Licenses may be denied or rescinded if the applicant, licensee or employee of the same fail to comply with, or have a history of violations of the laws or ordinances which apply to health, safety, or moral turpitude. • The City Council may attach such reasonable conditions to the license as it, in its sole discretion, deems to be appropriate. • The City may run criminal history checks on any applicant for a license pursuant to this chapter. • A license for massage therapy shall be reviewed annually.
