STANTON, CALIFORNIA ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON

SPECIFIED PERSONAL SERVICE AND MEDICAL OFFICE BUSINESSES PENDING STUDY AND THE PREPARATION OF AN UPDATE TO THE CITY’S

MUNICIPAL CODE AND ZONING CODE AND DETERMINING THE ORDINANCE

TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA
A number of businesses in the City of Stanton (“City”) that are licensed to operate as “personal care” uses—such as day spas and other type of beauty care businesses—have apparently provided unauthorized massage services or engaged in illegal actions at their premises. As explained below, businesses that provide unauthorized massage services pose significant potential impacts to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. Against this backdrop, the City Council is asked to consider an interim urgency ordinance to temporarily prohibit the establishment of specified personal care businesses. The interim urgency ordinance is intended to provide the City with sufficient time to study the continuing impacts of these establishments and to develop new municipal and zoning code regulations.

Staff report by Mr. James J. Wren, Public Safety Services Director.

The City Council questioned staff regarding distancing requirements, number of existing businesses, business visitations (including) frequency, agency authority, and review and update of current ordinances.
