CHAPTER 5.24 OF THE R.M.C. REGARDING MASSAGE
ESTABLISHMENTS
On October 28, 2003, the City Council adopted an ordinance which
enacted a moratorium on the issuance of any permits or entitlements for
businesses offering massage services. This moratorium has limited the
ability of new operators to open businesses within the City, pending the
City's consideration of new regulations. This revised ordinance would
impose a comprehensive regulatory framework for massage
establishments and massage technicians who operate within the City's
boundaries.
Recommendation: Introduce Ordinance No. 840 approving amendments
to section 5.24 of the Rosemead Municipal Code.
