The Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia will consider a draft ordinance at the 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 10 public meeting relating to making Arcadia’s massage business regulations conform more closely with the latest State legislation (AB 1147) that went into effect on January 1, 2015.

MassageTA 15-01 Legislative Draft Ordinance
The draft ordinance would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and separate massage, tanning and tattooing from other personal service businesses, such as barber shops and beauty salons, which will no longer be subject to a CUP. Also, since there is State certification of massage therapists, Arcadia is proposing eliminating local massage identification card process, and all massage therapists will be required to be State certified.
