PA 91-049 Dublin Zoning Ordinance Amendment
Massage
PROJECT: The City Of Dublin proposes to amend the
Dublin Zoning Ordinance relating to massage
establishments
APPLICANT: City of Dublin
100 Civic Plaza
Dublin, CA 94568
PROPERTY OWNER: Citywide
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS:
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: A Negative Declaration has been prepared
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Dublin Environmental
Guidelines. The proposed project will not have a significant
effect on the environment.
NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the December 2, 1991, hearing was
published in the local newspaper, mailed to adjacent property
owners, and posted in public buildings.
BACKGROUND
In July of 1991, Ms. Veronica Krell, owner and operator of A
Touch of Health, located at 6995 Dublin Boulevard, requested the
City Council to initiate an amendment to the Dublin Municipal
Code, Chapter 4.20 Massage Establishments and Massage Services,
Section 4.20.020 Exemptions (see Attachment 1). Ms. Krell's
request to City Council was to amend the Massage Ordinance to
exempt from the provisions of the Massage Ordinance requiring a
Police Department permit, massage therapists that graduated from
a recognized school of massage and are members of a State or
nationally chartered organization devoted to therapeutic massage.

Ms. Krell is a licensed cosmetician who received a
certificate of graduation from the National Holistic Institute to
practice massage therapy. Ms. Krell's massage and cosmetology
business is located in a C-2-B-40, General Commercial Combining
District. A massage parlor/establishment is not an allowed use
within this zone. This zoning violation was noted by the
Planning Department while processing Ms. Krell's business license
permit application.
At the July 22, 1991 City Council meeting, the City Council
initiated an ordinance amendment study to amend the Zoning
Ordinance to allow massage establishments in a C-2, General
Commercial District with Conditional Use Permit approval (see
City Council minutes, Attachment 2).
ANALYSIS:
Currently, the Zoning Ordinance identifies massage parlor as
a conditional use in the C-1, Retail Business District. The
Zoning Ordinance uses the term "massage parlor" and the Municipal
Code uses the term "massage establishment". Since there is no
definition of "massage parlor" in the Zoning Ordinance, Staff
relies on the definition of "massage establishment" in the
Municipal Code. Consequently, both terms are considered the same.
Under the existing Massage Ordinance, the massage therapist
use is considered a massage establishment. A massage
therapist/practitioner must comply with the provisions of the
Massage Ordinance and obtain a permit from the Police Department
prior to operation of the massage establishment. Only persons
holding an unrevoked certificate to practice the healing arts in
the State of California, or persons working under the direction
of such persons, and California licensed barbers and
cosmetologists are exempt from the provisions of the Massage
Ordinance.
When comparing the massage establishment use with other
permitted and conditional uses in the commercial districts, Staff
classifies a massage establishment as a personal service type
use, such as barber shops and beauty parlors (see Commercial
District Regulations, Attachment 3). A massage establishment is
considered a personal service type use because it primarily
provides personal improvement or appearance type services.
In response to City Council's direction, Staff researched
massage ordinances and zoning ordinances of other cities in the
Bay Area to determine how they identify massage use in their
zoning ordinance and if they exempt massage therapists with
certain qualifications from their massage ordinance. The
majority of the cities researched identify massage parlor/
establishment as a conditional use in general service commercial
districts and require massage practitioners/therapists to obtain
permit approval from the Police Department.

PAGE OF
Out of ten cities researched, only the City of San Ramon
exempts massage therapists (if they are certified members of the
American Massage Therapy Association) from their massage
ordinance. The cities of Emeryville and Sunnyvale include
provisions for massage therapists that have obtained 500 hours of
credit from a recognized school of massage and/or are members of
a qualified massage association. However, they do not exempt
massage therapists with these qualifications from their massage
ordinance.
The draft Zoning Ordinance Amendment includes 1) a
definition of massage establishment that is consistent with the
massage establishment definition in the City's Massage Ordinance
Chapter 4.20, and 2) identifies massage establishment as a
conditional use in the C-N, Neighborhood Business District, C-1,
Retail Business District (replacing the term "massage parlor"
with "massage establishment"), and the C-2, General Commercial
District (see Exhibit A). Staff recommends approval of the
attached draft ordinance, Exhibit A.
Staff recommends these amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to
provide a consistent definition of "massage establishment" in the
Zoning Ordinance and Massage Ordinance, and to identify "massage
establishment" as a conditional use in all commercial districts
that allow personal service type uses, not just the C-1 District.
Because massage establishments must comply with the Massage
Ordinance, and because certain conditions may need to be applied
to a massage establishment to make the use more compatible with
surrounding uses, Staff recommends that massage establishments be
classified as conditional uses.
If the Planning Commission would like the City Council to
consider amending Dublin's Massage Ordinance to exempt massage
therapists from the Massage Ordinance provisions and from
obtaining a Police Department permit, Staff requests Planning
Commission direction on the option of exempting massage
therapists with the following qualifications (modeled after the
City of Sunnyvale's Massage Ordinance):
1. is a member in good standing in a state or nationally
chartered organization devoted to massage therapy; and
2. has completed one of the following requirements:
a) five hundred (500) hours of instruction in massage
therapy at a recognized school of massage with a state
approved curriculum; or
b) two hundred fifty (250) hours of instruction in massage
therapy at a recognized school of massage with a State
approved curriculum and, in addition, five hundred
(500) hours of practical experience in massage therapy
in the form of paid employment in the primary office of

and under the direct supervision of a medical
professional licensed by the State of California,
specifically a physician, surgeon, chiropractor,
osteopath, physical therapist or nurse, while such
medical professional is performing activities
encompassed by such license, and is physically on the
premises where the massage therapy is being
administered.
Under this option, massage therapists would be exempt from
obtaining a Police Department permit, but an approved Conditional
Use Permit would always be required under the proposed Zoning
Ordinance Amendment.
The City Attorney is currently reviewing the draft ordinance
amendment (Exhibit A) and Staff will incorporate any revisions
made by the City Attorney into the draft ordinance for City
Council's review. If the City Council adopts the management
audit ordinance amendments, Staff would recommend that the
massage use be subject to Planning Commission approval.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
FORMAT: 1) Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation.
2) Take testimony from the public.
3) Question Staff and the public.
4) Close public hearing and deliberate.
5) Adopt Draft Resolutions (Exhibits B & C) relating
to the Negative Declaration and the ordinance
amendment for PA 91-049, or give Staff direction
and continue the matter.
ACTION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt
Draft Resolution (Exhibit B) recommending City Council
adoption of a Negative Declaration for PA 91-049 Dublin
Zoning Ordinance Amendment Massage, and Draft
Resolution (Exhibit C) recommending City Council
adoption of PA 91-049 Dublin Zoning Ordinance Amendment
Massage to amend the Dublin Zoning Ordinance to define
Massage Establishment and identify Massage
Establishment as a Conditional Use in the C-N, C-1 and
C-2 Districts.

Exhibit A: Letter with attachments from
Veronica Krell dated July 2, 1991
Provide Staff direction concerning the
Applicant's request
Applicant pays for the ordinance amendment
The Applicant, Ms, Veronica Krell, is requesting the City Council
to initiate an amendment to the Dublin Municipal Code, Chapter 4.20
Massage Establishments and Massage Services, Section 4.20.020
Exemptions. The Applicant, a massage therapist certified by the
National Holistic Institute and a licensed cosmetician, owns and
operates A Touch of Health located at 6995 Dublin Boulevard.
A cosmetician is licensed in the State of California to massage
the face, neck, arms, bust, or the upper part of the human body, and a
cosmetologist is licensed to massage in addition to these body parts,
the hands, feet and scalp. The State does not issue any other license
that regulates massages other than what is allowed under the State
cosmetician or cosmetologist license. The Applicant indicates that
as a massage therapist, she is certified to massage the entire body,
including legs and lower back. Staff does not know who certifies such
massage and would need to research that certification.
The Applicant's massage and cosmetology business is located in a
C-2, General Commercial District zone. A massage parlor/establishment
is not an allowed use within this zone. A massage parlor/
establishment is permitted in a C-1, Retail Business District zone
subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Under the
Massage Ordinance, the massage therapist use is considered a massage
establishment.
According to the Applicant, the Dublin Planning Department and
Police Department gave the Applicant verbal approval of the massage
establishment use and massage permit in the Fall of 1988. The City
has no written documentation that this approval was granted. The
massage establishment needs to comply with all current and applicable
zoning requirements.

The Applicant is requesting that certified massage therapists be
exempt from the provisions of the Massage Ordinance if they:
1. hold a valid, unrevoked certificate of massage therapy
from an accredited institution,
2. have completed a minimum of 500 hours of massage therapy
instruction,
3. are members of the American Massage Therapy Association, and
4. hold a valid, unrevoked cosmetician's license of
registration by the State of California Board of
Cosmetology.
If massage therapists with these qualifications are exempt from
the provisions of the Massage Ordinance, the massage therapy business
would not be considered a massage parlor/establishment as specified
in the Zoning Ordinance.
Staff informed the Applicant of options to resolve the massage
establishment's inconsistency with the Zoning Ordinance. The
Applicant's request was one of the options presented by Staff. The
following are other options available:
1. With an approved Conditional Use Permit, the Applicant can
relocate her massage establishment in a C-1, Retail Business
District.
2. The Applicant can request an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance to allow massage establishments in a C-2, General
Commercial District with Conditional Use Permit approval.
3. The Applicant can discontinue her operation as a massage
therapist in the C-2, General Commercial District, but may
continue to perform massages as a cosmetician holding a
valid, unrevoked license of registration from the State
Board of Cosmetology.
If the City Council initiates the ordinance amendment study,
Staff will consider other options such as amending the Zoning
Ordinance definition section to include a definition of massage parlor
and massage therapist. Staff may also consider variations on the
Applicant's request. Staff will research membership qualifications
for the American Massage Therapy Association and the requirements for
approving a massage therapy school pursuant to Section 29007.5 of the
Education Code of the State of California. Staff will also verify
whether the National Holistic Institute is accredited by the State,
whether the school certifies massage therapists and what schools,
agencies or organizations issue certificates of massage therapy. The
draft amendments will be reviewed by the City Police Department and
the City Attorney and all applicable comments will be incorporated
into the amendments.
Staff recommends that the City Council provide Staff direction
concerning the Applicant's request.

Dear City Counc:i.l, Members:
July 2 1991
My name :is Veronica B. Krell. 1 do business as A Touch of Health at 6995 Dublin
Blvd. in the Hair/Nail Emporium. 1 am a Certified Massage Therapist and State
Licenced Cosmetician. 1 have been doing business at this Dublin location for
the last three years. I was told by former City of Dublin officials including
Chief of Police Shores and Associate Planner Laura Hoffrneister in April, 1988
that 1 was approved to perform facials, massage and body waxing at this
location.
1 have gone to great lengths to comply with all of the City Ordinances that .1
was made aware of at that time, including being photographed and fingerprinted
by the Police Department in 19118 and again in November, 1990.
1 have recently been advised by the City Planning Department that I must re --
locate my business if 1 wish to continue performing massage due to a zoning
regulation. My business is located in a C-2 district which is a general comm..-
ercial district zoned for service.
According to City Ordinance, massage is not a permitted use within the C-•2
service district zone. However, a massage establishment is allowed within a C-•1
retail business district zone with an approved conditional use permit:„ Massage
by its nature is considered to be a service rather than retail trade.
Under my present State Cosmetician's license 1 am allowed to massage the hands,
feet, neck, upper hack and scalp. The only addition to the present zoning would
be to allow massaging of the legs, arms and lower back.
1 would like to propose an ammendrnent to Massage Ordinance No. 287 under Section
30 of the Exceptions to include the following
Tlie provisions of this chapter shall not apply to a Certified Massage
Therapist holding an unrevoked Certificate from an accredited institution
and has completed a minimum of 500 hours and is a member of the American
Massage Therapy Association and holds an unrevoked State Cosmetician's
license.
Massage provides many benefits, some of which are: dialating the blood vessels
and improving circulation throughout the body, releasing tension and soothing
nerves. Massage acts as a "mechanical cleanser" stimulating lymph circulation
and hastening the elimination of waste and toxic debris. Massage stretches
connective tissues and improves circulation and nutrition, as well as preventing
the formation of adhesions and reducing the danger of fibrosis.
1 perform Swedish massage, which is long gliding strokes, kneading and rubbing
motions, and Shiatsu, which is working on pressure points by applying pressure
with the thumbs or elbows, releasing blocked energy. I also practice reflex-
ology and deep tissue massage. Clients lie under a sheet and blanket while 1 am
performing their massage.

The I'Ia:ir/Flail. Emporium and A Touch of Health offers a full. service beauty and

ed a considerable amount of time, money and effort over the last three years to
enable me to contribute to this health and beauty process and build up a steady
c:i:i.entel.
1 have completed 600 hours of massage courses and graduated from the National
Holistic: Institute which is a State approved and AMTA accredited school. :[ also
graduated from the California Beauty College and obtained my State License as a
Cosmetician. 1 have attended various seminar's to further my education and
maintain current knowledge in the massage and cosmetician fields. 1 was granted
several thousand dollars in student loans to finance my education and have been
able to make my monthly payments the last three year's due to the success of my
small business. 1 have five more years of payments to go.
Hy clients are referred by existing clients., Hair/Flail. Emporium Operators.,
Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Plastic Surgeons and P'sycholog:ists. The
many healthful and theraputic benefits of massage and 'facials include supple-
menting various treatments provided by other health professionals. One example
is a client recently referred to me by a psychologist who was sexually abused.
Massage :is an excellent non -threatening therapy which is helping her adjust to
physical contact with other people once again.

Veronica Krell, Licensed Esthetician/Massage Therapist
Dear Planning Commission:
I am writing in response to the problem Veronica Krell has encountered concerning
her use permit for the above -referenced location. I am a client and I am very
concerned that the City is not treating this business in a fair manner, because of the
special circumstances involved. This is a very respectable and professional business
and not allowing the service now provided would cut into the profits and clientelle
Mrs. Krell has worked to establish over the years.
I understand that you do not permit this particular service in this location. However,
this business has built its clientelle based on the fact that she did receive a permit to
do business at this location and since the time the business was approved by the Chief
of Police the law has changed. Since she has changed nothing but the law has
changed I would respectfully request that you allow a conditional use permit in order
for the current service to remain at the same location. This would not be setting a
precident because this is not a new application.
I could understand denial of a new application but I believe it is very unreasonable to
tell her that she can no longer conduct the service she has been doing (with
permission) in previous years.
Thank you for consideration of this matter.

RE: A Touch of Health
6995 Dublin Boulevard
Dublin, CA 94568
To Whom It May Concern
A Touch of Health is owned and operated by Mrs. Veronica Krell a Licensed Esthetician and
Massage Therapist. Mrs. Krell has been notified that her use permit will not be renewed at her present
location.
I am urging the City Planning Department to please reconsider the judgement made to not
reissue the use permit for A Touch of Health at the present location on Dublin Boulevard.
The original use permit was issued two years ago by the Chief of Police and since that time the law has
changed. It would seem in a case such as this, where the law changed but the business did not, that an
existing business would be grandfathered and would be allowed to remain in the present location. A
new business coming into the location would then be subject to the new law.
A Touch of Health is a professional and responsible service and an asset to the City of Dublin.
Because of Mrs. Krell's expertise in massage therapy I am not at the mercy of a stress related illness.
My job as a public affairs professional is stressful and intense; it was at a friend's urging that I contacted
Mrs. Krell at A Touch of Health, and received my first session with her. It was as though someone
provided a light at the end of the tunnel for me. She is in a very accessible location and it would be a
shame to move her services to another area.
Thank you for your time and your consideration regarding this particular use permit.

THE BE1 4EFITS OF MASSAGE
At -Icier -it relief
for todcay's stresses
y body feels
like one big knot," groans
Laurie Brown, 39, her mus-
cles tense and aching after a
stress -filled morning.
Draped by a sheet, she lies
facedown on a massage table
and stretches out beneath
the soothing hand of Meta
Chessin-Yudin. As the Seat-
tle massage practitioner rubs
out the kinks in her muscles,
Brown grows more relaxed.
An hour later, she is smiling
and buoyant. "After a mas-
sage, I feel like a weight has
been lifted from me," she
says. "All my tension floats
away."
Brown is not the only one
being rubbed the right way.
In the last decade, massage
has enjoyed a boom in popularity. Once thought of as a
luxury for the pampered, it has become a hands-on favorite
of stressed -out office workers, recreational athletes, and
wellness enthusiasts. Massage has transcended its image as a
euphemism for shady adult entertainment. It has come out
of the shadows to present its legitimate side, popping up in
health clinics, shopping malls, and even corporate suites.
An ancient art. Faddish as it sounds, massage is an
ancient healing art, mentioned in Chinese literature as early
as 3000 B.C. Centuries ago, Greek and Roman physicians
used it to treat their rulers. "Massage has its root in earliest
medicine," says Richard van Why, president of the Texas -
based Bodywork Research Institute. "It's been an integral
part of the health systems of most cultures."
But massage is no panacea. "It won't cure your arthritis,"
says Rita Corell, a massage therapist in Omaha. By law,
therapists can't diagnose, prescribe, or claim to treat or cure
specific illnesses.
But massage can be part of an overall strategy for good
health and well-being, says Corell.
For most people, the practice is safe. However, experts
warn anyone with a history of blood clots or diabetes, a
recent fracture or sprain, or a high fever to avoid massage.
Doctors recommend caution to those with circulatory, skin,
or cardiac problems. If you have a chronic health problem,
consult your doctor for advice.

and lymph fluids, fueling the
muscles with fresh oxygen
and nutrients while flushing
away metabolic waste prod-
ucts. By stretching and loos-
ening muscles, it also
releases physical tension and
soothes the nerves.
The result is a blend of
energy and relaxation. Like
a tune-up designed to pro-
duce smoothness, a massage
is likely to leave you feeling
refreshed, but not revved up.
Massage often helps people
reduce stress and think more
clearly, says Patricia Benja-
min, Director of Education
for the American Massage
Therapy Association
(.ANITA). "It can have an
effect similar to meditation,"
she says. "It calms the mind throu_h calming the body."
Increasingly, medical doctors find massage useful. Regu-
lar rucdowns may help with relief, breaking the cycle of
spasm and pain. Tension headaches, sore backs, and neck
cricks may benefit. "Massage has helped patients of mire
with cervical strains, where the neck muscles have gone into
a chronic cramp because of an auto accident," says David
Yonker, M.D., a Washington State family practitioner.
The physical benefits of massage have value for athletes,
claims Ralph Stephens, a sports -massage therapist ir. Iowa
City, Iowa. Properly administered massage helps present
injury, aids recovery time for injured muscles, and improves
'athletic performance, he says.
Healing touch. For many, massage answers an emotion-
al need for touch. Doctors and psychologists have long
known of the benefits of physical contact. A University of
Miami study reports that premature infants gained weight
quicker and were able to leave the hospital earlier after
regular massage. Similarly, people who are lonely or dis-
abled may be touch -starred. "Massage is sometimes misun-
derstood as being sexual," says Corell. "Done in a safe,
nonsexual setting, it can be nourishing and therapeutic."
Bottom line. Promising as the benefits of massage sound,
not everyone agrees that all have been well documented by
scientific studies. Many people believe massage has the po-
tential to deliver both physical and emotional benefits, but

much of the evidence is anecdotal. Skeptics also suggest that
the positive effects of massage tend to be short-lived.
On the other hand, these effects probably are cumulative.
From one session to the next, a person is able to relax more
and release tension easier. Over the course of time, massage
sessions teach people where they store tension and how to
watch out for it in their day-to-day lives. "The beauty of
massage is that you learn from it," says Corell. "You be-
come more sensitive to
your own patterns of
stress."
MASSAGE BUYER'S GUIDE
Derived from the French
word for kneading, mas-
sage is a general term for
manipulating muscles and
soft tissue. Over the centu-
ries, a wide variety of ap-
proaches has evolved, each
with its own goals and techniques. The most commonly
encountered methods of massage are:
Swedish, or Western -style, massage. The most prev-
alent form of massage found in the U.S., Swedish is an all-
purpose method to get the blood moving and promote
general well-being. Featuring long, gliding strokes followed
by kneading and rubbing motions, it usually is relaxing and
enjoyable. Clients lie under a drape, either totally or partial-
ly undressed so that oil can be applied for smooth stroke:..
If you are too embarrassed or uncomfortable to take your
clothes off for a massage, don't give up, says Benjamin.
Take off only as much clothing as you want to, she advises.
Keep on your underwear or wear a swimsuit. "You can't

DO-1T-YOURSELF MASSAGE
With a little special care and at-
tention, you can give your spouse
or a friend a relaxing, enjoyable
massage. Follow these tips from
Meta Chessln-Yudln, a massage
practitioner and Laban movement
analyst with New Seattle Massage
In Seattle.
Begin in a warm, quiet space,
softly lighted, with gentle music, If
you like. Find a good, firm surface.
(A couch or bed Is likely to be too
soft and too tow.) Pour a little oil
on your hands and rub them to-
gether so that the oil feels warm.
Coconut oil Is good, but even vege-
table oil will do. Have your partner
take deep, comfortable breaths.
Use a smooth, gentle approach
and a light touch. Make a long,
continuous stroke the entire length
relax if you don't feel comfortable," she says.
Shiatsu. Used widely in Japan for more than 1,000 years,
this form of acupressure is derived from traditional Chinese
medicine, which postulates that ch'i, or life energy, flows
along invisible body pathways called meridians. Illness oc-
curs when energy becomes blocked at specific pressure
points. During shiatsu sessions, therapists press on these
points with their fingers or feet, even with their knees, to
release energy trapped within the body and restore health.
While Swedish massage is oriented to physiology —blood
flow and contracted muscles —oriental massage has a spiri-
tual goal to get mind and body in harmony. It is done
without oil, sometimes
through loose clothing on a
mat rather than a table.
Shiatsu, like Swedish -
style massage, can involve
some discomfort. However,
a massage shouldn't be
painful, says Jocelyn
Granger, a massage thera-
pist in Ann Arbor, Michi-
gan. "If it hurls, tell your
therapist to stop."
Reflexology. Practitioners of this method of massage
believe that various reflex areas in the feet and hands corre-
spond to parts of the body. Reflexologists apply pressure to
these spots on the feat and hands to promote the health of
the corresponding body part, organ, or gland. Independent
of any medical value, foot massage also can be a very sooth-
ing and relaxing process.
Sports massage. Borrowing basic techniques from other
traditions, therapists recently created a specialty massage
for active people. Sports massage practitioners usually tar-
get specific muscles rather than attempting to induce whole -
body relaxation.
When considering a
massage practitioner,
look for a licensed
therapist. Ask about
training, credentials,
and experience.
of a Ilmb, following the contours of
the muscle and bone. Lightly re-
trace the area in the opposite direc-
tion. Repeat the same gliding
stroke many times, increasing pres-
sure as you do it, but always re-
trace lightly when you return to
your starting place. Generally,
massage toward the heart.
As you both get comfortable,
vary the stroke. After gliding
strokes, try kneading the skin.
Imagine you are kneading dough,
and create different shapes.
Experiment with little side -to -side
strokes. Try moving the muscle in
little circles. Check often with your
partner to see if the pressure is
comfortable. l'a;Inish ono
area, hold your hands lightly on it
for about 10 seconds. Gently and
slowly take your hands away.
continued on page 58
You can use the same kind of
strokes for both sides of the arms,
legs, and torso. When working on
the head, cradle it for a little while,
letting your partner enloy the feel-
ing of support. Use gentle, smooth-
ing strokes on the face, as If you
are trying to Iron out all the wor-
ries and wrinkles. Outline the fore-
head, eyebrows, and nose. You can
apply a little more pressure to the
cheekbones and jaw. Try rubbing
the ears. Give the scalp a vigorous
rub, from the base of the skull to
the very top, supporting the head
with one hand while rubbing the
other side.
There is no "one way" to do
massage. Start with what you
think would feel good and listen for
feedback. Feel free to explore
what works.

Rapid or rhythmic pummeling
strokes often are used to warm up
muscles before an event. Long, gliding
movements after a strenuous workout
aim to prevent muscle soreness and
shorten recovery time.
Choosing a therapist. While there
are dozens of methods of massage and
body work, most U.S. therapists are
trained in one form of massage -usu-
ally Swedish -style --and incorporate
other methods to suit their interests.
58
Many practitioners offer a broad,
eclectic range of techniques, but some
have a narrow, specialized focus. It's
important to match your need -
whether it's basic relaxation or sports
massage or deep -muscle work, for in-
stance -with the right therapist.
To find a good therapist:
• Get referral:: from friends, health
professionals, or a reputable health
club in your area.
• Stick to licensed massage therapists
if your state licenses practitioners. Or
check with the 11,CCO-member Amer-
ican Massage Therapy Association for
its Active Member list. The group,
which sets industry standards and
provides continuing education, has a
referral service for its members. Call
3 12/761 -AMTA.
• When you shop around for a thera-
pist, ask about experience and train-
ing. If the therapist advertises as a
specialist -a sports massage therapist
or shiatsu practitioner, for example -
ask about his or her credentials and
training.
• Expect to pay about S30 to S40 for
an hour-long session, perhaps more in
major metropolitan areas. If pre-
scribed by a physician, massage some-
times is covered by insurance. El

2. ESTROGENS SHOULD NOT BE USED DURING PREGNANCY.
Estrogen therapy during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of congenital defects in the
reproductive organs of the male and female fetus, an increased risk of vaginal aden0sis, sauamdus-Cell

concluded ;hat women who used OES during their pregnancies may subsecUently experience an inc:e39
risk of :feast cancer. However a causal relationship is still unproven. and the observed level of risk is
similar to teat for a number ct other breast cancer risk factors.
There is no indication for 0ucgen therapy during pregnancy. Estrogens are ineffective for the prevention
or Ireafrent of Threatened or habitual abortion.

REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO MASSAGE ORDINANCE (450-20)
Associate Planner Carol Cirelli presented the Staff report and advised
that Ms. Veronica Krell, owner of A Touch of Health, 6995 Dublin
Boulevard, requested an amendment to the Dublin Municipal Code,
Chapter 4.20, Massage Establishments and Massage Services, Section
4.20.020 Exemptions. Ms. Krell requested that certified massage
therapists be exempt from the provisions of the Massage Ordinance if
they hold a valid, unrevoked certificate of massage therapy from an
accredited institution, have completed a minimum of 500 hours of
massage therapy instruction, are members of the American Massage
Therapy Association, and hold a valid, unrevoked cosmetician's license
of registration by the State of California Board of Cosmetology.
A cosmetician is licensed in the State of California to massage the
face, neck, arms, bust, or the upper part of the human body, and a
cosmetologist is licensed to massage in addition to these body parts,
the hands, feet and scalp. The State does not issue any other license
that regulates massages other than what is allowed under the State
cosmetician or cosmetologist license.
The Applicant indicated that as a massage therapist, she is certified
to massage the entire body, including legs and lower back.
The Applicant's massage and cosmetology business is located in a C-2,
General Commercial District zone. A massage parlor/establishment is
not an allowed use within this zone. A massage parlor/establishment
is permitted in a C-1, Retail Business District zone subject to the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Under the Massage Ordinance,
the massage therapist use is considered a massage establishment.
Cm. Burton wanted clarification that discussion involved a zoning
change from a C-1 to a C-2 and the qualifications of a person who
applies for a massage parlor. He also asked if the Applicant was
willing to pay for the costs to make an amendment to the Massage
Ordinance.
Ms. Cirelli responded that one would deal with the zoning ordinance
and the other would deal with amendments to the massage ordinance or
both. She further stated that the applicant was willing to pay the
costs.
Cm. Moffatt asked whether there would be an option to have a
Conditional Use Permit to the C-2 zoning and if an exception could be
made.
Ms. Cirelli responded that an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance would
be needed.
Cm. Burton asked if barber shops and beauty parlors were allowed in
the C-2 zone.
Ms. Cirelli responded yes.

Veronica Krell, Applicant, thanked the Council for considering her
ordinance amendment and she wanted to emphasize that the massage
parlor was located in a full service beauty salon and that there were
not signs advertising the massage parlor where she did massage
therapy. She stated that C-2 is a service zone and that she felt that
massages are a service she provided for people rather than a retail
item which is what C-1 is zoned as.
Cm. Burton questioned how you would distinguish that you are
subleasing the beauty salon rather than having a separate massage
parlor. He questioned how the Applicant would make changes to the
Ordinance.
Cm. Jeffery responded that Staff would be responsible for rewriting
the Ordinance.
Ms. Krell wanted to emphasize that this is therapeutic massages.
Carol Bondy, owner of Nail Emporium where Ms. Krell leases her room,
wanted to stress that this business was as a massage therapist and not
a massage parlor.
Cheryl Gia owns a hair business next door and is grateful that she is
able to offer full services to her customers through the facials and
massages. If Ms. Krell was forced to move to a new location, it would
not be convenient for Ms. Gia's clients. She appreciated having Ms.
Krell in the same location.
Jane Manning, a client, stated that in the area of health when so many
are stressed, it is wonderful to have a reliable, knowledgeable, up
and up business such as Ms. Krell's. Dublin should be proud to have
her in the community.
Cm. Burton stated that he was impressed with her credentials including
Kaiser and the obvious support from those present, but he was
concerned with the clarification of how it will be defined but it was
marvelous how willing the Applicant is to pay for the change to the
ordinance.
Mayor Snyder indicated that he felt that it was inappropriate for the
Applicant to pay for the changes to the ordinance in that in the long
run the change will benefit more people. He also felt it was
inappropriate to indicate in the ordinance a requirement that
membership must be held in a certain association.
Cm. Burton felt that the simplest way was to amend C-2 zoning to allow
massage establishments with a Conditional Use Permit.
On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous
vote (Cm. Howard absent), the Council authorized Staff to initiate the
ordinance amendment study to the Zoning Ordinance to allow massage
establishments in a C-2, General Commercial District, with Conditional

PUBLIC HEARING
LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. 1986-1, TRACT 5511 (360-20)
Maykoi Snyder opened the public hearing.
r
Public 'Works Director Thompson explained that as a part of rie review
and approval of the 145-unit single-family development a- Ridgecreek
and the other, multi -family Villages, certain landscapi maintenance
was made a condition of approval. The City Council ap, oved formation
of the Assessment District on November 10, 1986 with the initial
assessment in the 1987-88 tax year.
The County Assessor collects these monies ter the City for the
maintenance of landscaping and irrigation;' systems, right-of-way
fencing, walls, entrande signs, and trash re oval.
This year's assessment was proposed to b-'�$78.48 per single-family lot
and $39.24 per multi -family lot. Alsf'proposed was the addition of
maintenance of landscaping at the sm 1 area north of the Crossridge
Road cul-de-sac, which is now a wee•, problem.
On June 24th, the City Counc' adopted resolutions approving the
Preliminary Engineer's Report d set the public hearing date. Notice
of the public hearing was p ished, posted, and mailed to property
owners in accordance with Go ernment Code regulations.
Cm. Burton indicated that t was a good report.
Mayor Snyder closed th = public hearing as there were no members of the
audience who wished t• address the issue.
Cm. Burton questioned whether the land consisted of all private or
public property?
Mr. Thompson responded that it was public property or in a public
easement. It s to be in order for the City to maintain it under the
Assessment Di-rict.
Cm. Moffatt questioned whether this was 65% of last year's assessment
and the C y was lowering the price.
Mr. Tho •son responded that the City sets the Budget for what is
consid- ed will be needed each year. Not many plants have died
that ea. This is a sheltered area with the hills, as opposed to th
other side on Stagecoach which really gets hit with the frost.
Cm. Burton asked who was responsible for not spending all the money
budgeted, the Public Works Department.
