Commission hears special-use permit for massage therapy suite; city to reference Texas Occupations Code in ordinance
Summary
A business at 7135 Colleyville Boulevard, Suite 101 sought a special-use permit for massage services; staff reported the business passed a certificate-of-occupancy review and counsel proposed adding language to the SUP ordinance referencing the Texas Occupations Code as a condition of approval.
The Colleyville Planning and Zoning Commission on May 12 discussed a special-use permit application for a massage-therapy business at 7135 Colleyville Boulevard, Suite 101.
Staff said there have been no changes to the application since it was previously heard and reported that the business passed a police department certificate-of-occupancy review. Commission members and counsel discussed adding a provision to the SUP ordinance requiring compliance with the Texas Occupations Code provisions that govern massage establishments; counsel said the proposed ordinance language would allow the city to revoke the SUP or certificate of occupancy if state licensing or statutory requirements are not met.
Commission discussion referenced regulatory details counsel summarized: massage establishments must operate only after the department licenses them; facilities must employ or contract only licensed massage therapists; facilities may not allow unlicensed persons to perform activities requiring licensure; and licensees must meet authorization-to-work requirements. The commission also noted that SUPs typically include conditions such as listed hours of operation and that changes of ownership generally require returning to the special-use-permit process.
Commissioners said the proposed suite is different from other massage SUPs the commission has seen because it is a room within a multi-tenant suite rather than an independent single-suite business. Counsel and staff said applicants previously heard by the commission were informed of the proposed additional language and had indicated they were comfortable with it. The transcript shows no final vote on the SUP at this meeting; staff indicated they would recommend adding language about compliance with Texas standards when forwarding the item to council.
