Commission backs conditional use and operator licenses for massage services at North Bel Air Road business center
Summary
The commission recommended approval for a conditional-use application for Revive Massage and Bodywork at 119 North Bel Air Road and approved two massage operator licenses; applicant said service will complement existing trauma therapy tenants and emphasized no exterior changes are planned.
The Columbia County Planning Commission recommended approval of a conditional-use application to allow massage therapy at 119 North Bel Air Road and approved two attendant operator licenses on Aug. 20.
Dylan, a county planner, said the parcel sits in a P1 professional zone at a commercial intersection and that the proposed use involves only interior changes. Applicant Jenny Goddell, owner of Revive Massage and Bodywork, told the commission she intends to add trauma-focused massage therapy to complement existing tenants in a multi-tenant professional suite.
Property owners Sue and Bob Reemer of Evans Business Center LLC described existing tenants in the building — trauma therapists and counselors — and said the addition of massage therapy fits the building’s healing-services cluster. Staff recommended approval and the commission voted to recommend the conditional use; separate motions to approve operator licenses for Sarah Caitlin Hurst (Massage Therapy by Kate) and Vanessa Newsome (Gift of Touch Therapeutic Massage) also carried.
The approvals were conditioned on compliance with applicable county regulations; no site changes or exterior modifications were proposed. The Planning Commission’s recommendations will be transmitted to the Board of Commissioners as part of the standard review process.
