Council hears first readings for two massage‑therapy special use permits on Colleyville Boulevard
Summary
Council held first readings and public hearings for two separate special use permit requests to allow massage therapy businesses at 4508 and 4906 Colleyville Boulevard; staff and police completed background reviews and recommended approval, and both items return for final action on May 13.
The council held first readings and public hearings on two separate special use permit (SUP) requests to allow massage therapy uses in Colleyville Boulevard commercial centers.
The first request is for suite B at 4508 Colleyville Boulevard for a business the applicant referred to as Anantra/Entra Thai Massage. Ben Bridal, director of community development, described the property (CC‑1 Village Retail zoning) and explained that massage therapy uses require a special use permit in CC‑1, CC‑2 and CC‑3 districts. The applicant — who introduced herself as Tamichit — said the business would offer Thai traditional massage, operate roughly 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, and emphasize licensed, professional practice and community workshops. Bridal told council that police and staff had completed required reviews and that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval 4–3 on April 14. The city attorney indicated additional ordinance language will be drafted for the second reading to make clear that violation of state law or state licensing could be grounds for revocation of the SUP.
The second request is for suite 200 at 4906 Colleyville Boulevard (near the Kroger/Walmart center) for Highstone Holistic Wellness. Bridal said staff mailed notices within 500 feet with no responses returned and that Planning & Zoning recommended approval 5–2. Ravi Lucker, the business owner, described an existing Flower Mound location and said the Colleyville site would include massage, organic facials, reflexology, infrared sauna and related holistic services; he said he plans to hire locally and that many Colllyville residents already drive to his existing location.
Councilmembers asked that ordinance language for both permits explicitly include adherence to state laws and licensing requirements so that a state violation could be enforced locally through SUP revocation if necessary. Chief Ray reported police had conducted background checks and face‑to‑face interviews as part of the review. No votes were taken; both items are scheduled for second reading and final action on May 13.
