In enacting these regulations, City Council recognizes that massage is a viable professional field offering the public valuable health and therapeutic services. It is the purpose and intent of the City council that the operation of massage establishments, off-premise massage services, and persons offering massage be regulated in the interests of public health, safety and welfare by providing minimum building sanitation and health standards and to ensure that persons offering massage shall possess the minimum qualifications necessary to operate such businesses and to perform such services offered. It is the intent of this Chapter to enact regulations to ensure that those offering massage services are qualified and trained and can be expected to conduct their work in a lawful and professional manner. City Council finds that existing controls do not satisfactorily address or regulate serious police problems and regulate the profession so as to discourage the use of the profession for objectionable and unlawful purposes.
