A RESOLUTION OF THE SEAL BEACH PLANNING
COMMISSION RECOMMENDING ADOPTION OF
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 13-2 TO PERMIT A
CERTIFIED MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENT AT 201
8TH STREET UNIT 190 IN THE MAIN STREET
SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH DOES
HEREBY FIND AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. On May 9, 2013, Joanne S. Barton ("the applicant") submitted an
application to the City of Seal Beach Department of Community Development for
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 13-2 to permit a Certified Massage Establishment in an
existing multi-tenant commercial building at 201 8th Street, Unit 190 (the "subject
property"), which is located in the Main Street Specific;Plan Area.
Section;2. Staff has determined that CUP 13-2 is categorically exempt from
review under California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15303
of the State CEQA Guidelines because it would result only in a negligible expansion of
an existing use.
Section 3. A duly noticed public hearing was held before the Planning
Commission on June 19, 2013 to consider the application for CUP 13-2. At the public
hearing, the Planning Commission received and considered all evidence presented,
both written and oral, regarding the subject application. The record of the public hearing
indicates the following:
A. The subject property is located on the northeast corner of the
intersection of 8th Street and Central and developed with a 7,174-square foot,
two-story, 12-unit commercial building that previously served as the Seal Beach City
Hall and is now occupied by a beauty salon and office uses. The subject property is
surrounded by City Hall to the north, a fire station across Central Avenue to the south, a
one story medical office building across 8th Street to the east, and multi-family
residential units across an alley to the west. The subject property is located in the Main
Street Specific Plan area, which permits massage establishments subject to approval of
a CUP.
B. . The proposed massage establishment would be a sole
proprietorship operated by a massage professional certified to practice massage by the
California Massage Therapy Council. The space in which it would operate contains a
reception -area, and. two treatment rooms. The business would operate only by
appointment and only between the hours of 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, Monday through
Saturday. The applicant has stated that a licensed skincare professional will likely
occupy one of the rooms in the unit as an independent contractor on a part time basis.
