WHEREAS, the applicant is requesting permission to add massage
therapy to an existing body and skin care business at
322 Main Street, #4; and
WHEREAS, the subject property is a rectangular parcel measuring
75 feet by 117.5 feet, or approximately 8,812 square
feet; and

nonconforming retail and service commercial uses in the
C-l Zone;
East: A mixture of conforming and nonconforming single
and multiple family residential uses in the RHO (High

Planning Commission determines that such uses meet the
intent of service commercial uses and the general plan;

Commission's determination on the appropriateness of
this use; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on Wednesday, May 4, 1988; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission makes the following findings:
1. The proposed massage service for women is
compatible with the C-l (Service Commercial) Zone
and consistent with the General Plan. The land
use element summary describes service commercial
land uses as "commercial establishments selling a
broad range of convenience and consumer goods or
providing a variety of personal services." The
proposed massage therapy business falls within the
latter category. In addition, beauty parlors are
permitted inn both the c-o and C-I Zones. The
proposed massage business would be established in
conjunction with an existing skin and body care
business, services which are typically offered in
beauty parlors.
2. The proposed business is compatible with
surrounding land uses and the community in
general. The predominant land use around the
subject property is commercial, and commercial
uses are permitted by right on the site. Since
the massage business is consistent with the
service commercial land use category, the issuance
of this Conditional Use Permit will not have any
greater impact on the surrounding area than would
any other use permitted in the C-l Zone. Further,
the Health Department has reviewed this
application, and has no reservations about the
business at this time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of
the City of Seal Beach does hereby approve Conditional Use Permit
4-88 subject to the following conditions:
1. Conditional Use Permit 4-88 is hereby approved for the
establishment of a massage therapy business for women
only in conjunction with an existing skin and body care
business at 322 Main Street, #4.
2. Conditional Use Permit 4-88 is issued to Jerri L. Cocks
and is nontransferable.
3.
All massage provided by
provided on site at 322
areas specified in the
Commission.
the proposed business shall be
Main Street, #4, and within the
plans approved by the Planning
4. With the applicant's consent, hours of operation shall
not extend beyond 10:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
5. The term of this Conditional Use Permit shall be for
one (1) year, after which time the Planning Commission
shall review the CUP and may extend it indefinitely.
