Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Jim LaValle <br />Matt Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />Bill Blesener <br />515 Little Canada Road, Litde Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 .ADMINISTRATOR <br />wwwci.litde- canada.mn.us Joel R. Hanson <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: May 7, 2003 <br />RE: Massage Therapy Licensing <br />The City's code currently provides two licensing options for businesses wishing to provide massage <br />services (ordinance sections attached). These are: <br />Massage Parlor — Massage services allowed as a principal use. License fee is $10,000. <br />Massage Therapy — Massage services allowed as an accessory use in conjunction with a <br />beauty salon. License fee is $100 for the business and $75 for each therapist. <br />Attached is a letter from Mr. Ted McCann expressing interest in opening a massage therapy business <br />in the office building located at 5 East County Road B. The property is currently zoned General <br />Business (B -3), and it appears that this type of use would be permitted under the B -3 zoning. Mr. <br />McCann has been informed that the Code would require that he obtain a massage parlor license. As a <br />result, he would like to address the Council at Wednesday's meeting to request that the license fee be <br />reduced. <br />Also attached are the results of a survey of surrounding cities to determine the types of licenses <br />allowed as well as related license fees. <br />Should you have any questions or require additional information, please let me know prior to <br />Wednesday's meeting. <br />
