2203.030. GRANTING, DENYING AND RESCINDING OF LICENSES FOR MASSAGE THERAPY OR COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE HEALTH CARE PRACTICES AS A PRINCIPAL USE. 1. The provisions of Section 2202.030 of the Little Canada City Code shall apply to a license for massage therapy or any complementary and alternative health care practice as a principal use. The City will issue up to three licenses for massage therapy as a principal use within the City of Little Canada. The City will also issue up to three licenses for complementary and alternative health care practices as a principal use within the City of Little Canada. Any advertisement, representation, or performance of massage therapy services by a business or practitioner licensed solely for complementary and alternative health care practices shall constitute a violation of this Chapter, and the City may revoke such license. The business may thereafter reapply only for licensure as a massage therapy establishment, subject to all applicable education, licensing, and numerical cap requirements. 2. A license for massage therapy or any complementary and alternative health care practice business license as a principal use shall be reviewed annually. No license approved by the City grants the licensee a property right or entitlement to a license. The City Council may refuse to issue, refuse to renew, or may suspend or revoke a license for any reason, and the City will not incur liability for any damages including, but not limited to, direct, consequential, or incidental damages, deprivation of property, loss of income, loss of profits, or loss of livelihood. 2203.040.
