Subd. 1. Delinquent Taxes. No therapeutic massage enterprise shall be licensed if such enterprise is located on property on which taxes, assessments, or other financial claims to the state, county, school district, or city are due and delinquent. In the event a suit has been commenced under M.S. §§ 278.01 through 278.13, as they may be amended from time to time, questioning the amount or validity of taxes, the City Council may on application waive strict compliance with this provision; no waiver may be granted, however, for taxes or any portion thereof, which remain unpaid for a period exceeding one year after becoming due.
Subd. 2. Improper Zoning. No therapeutic massage enterprise shall be licensed if the location of such enterprise is not in conformance with the city’s Zoning Code.
Subd. 3. Building, Fire, and Code Compliance Violations. No therapeutic massage enterprise shall be licensed if the location of such enterprise is not in compliance with state building and fire codes in addition to this Code.
Subd. 4. Distinct Entrance. No therapeutic massage enterprise, unless a home- based enterprise, shall be licensed if the location of such enterprise does not have a distinct, front-facing, public entrance. A distinct, front-facing public entrance for an entire building is required for enterprise locations with multiple suites.
Subd. 5. Previous License Infractions. No therapeutic massage enterprise license shall be issued or renewed if the massage therapy enterprise has employed two or more massage therapists whose licenses have been suspended and/or revoked within any 12-month period during period of employment.
