Project Description
AA & FIR Health Center Inc. has been operating at this location providing acupuncture
service as the primary use since 2007 (Plot Plan No. 2007-97). Massage and other
therapeutic activities were conditioned to occur only when an acupuncturist, certified by
the State of California Acupuncture Board, is on the premises to perform or supervise
such activities. The sole exception to this restriction is for massage below the knee and
from the neck up, which may be performed at any time during the approved business
hours.
The applicant is proposing to add full body massage services. Three California
Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC)-certified employees would provide massage
services and one independent contractor will continue to provide acupuncture services.
The hours of operation are seven days a week from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm.
The floor plan will consist of a lobby, front office area, three massage rooms, and one
room reserved for acupuncture services. In addition, there is a semi -open area reserved
for foot reflexology services. A laundry room, restroom, and break room are located
towards the rear of the tenant space.

Proposed Floor Plan
Review Authority (DBCC Section 22.58)
A CUP is required for uses whose effect on the surrounding area cannot be determined
before being analyzed for suitability at a particular location.
Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-12 Page 5 of 10
Packet Pg. 13
7.1
When reviewing a CUP, consideration is given to the location, design, configuration,
operational characteristics and potential impacts to determine whether or not the
proposed use will pose a detriment to the public health, safety and welfare. If it can be
found that the proposed use is likely to be compatible with its surroundings, the
Commission may approve the proposed use subject to conditions stipulating the
manner in which the use must be conducted. If the Commission finds that the proposed
use is likely to be detrimental to the general peace, health and general welfare, then it
must deny the request.
When a CUP is approved, it runs with the land and all conditions placed on the CUP are
binding on all successors in interest. In other words, if the owner of the proposed
massage establishment were to close the business, a new tenant could locate in the
space and operate the same type of business. The new tenant would be required to
comply with the same conditions as the previous tenant and would not be permitted to
expand the business without full review and approval by the Planning Commission.
Business Regulations for Massage Establishments (DBCC Section 5.08.070 and
State Assembly Bill 1147
Senate Bill 731 (2009) and Assembly Bill 619 (2011) preempted cities and counties
from imposing many of their land use controls pertaining to the regulation of massage
establishments. Specifically, these laws mandated that a local agency's regulation of
massage establishments "shall be no different than the requirements that are uniformly
applied to all other individuals and businesses providing professional services,"
provided that such massage establishments are either owned by CAMTC-certified
massage professionals, or employ only CAMTC-certified massage professionals.
These laws had unintended consequences, and jurisdictions saw an increase in the
number of massage establishments as a whole, as well as an increase in illicit massage
establishments engaging in prostitution and human trafficking.
In response to the rapid proliferation of massage establishments and the impacts
directly associated with them, cities, counties, elected representatives, law enforcement
agencies and the League of California Cities successfully advocated for more carefully
crafted legislation. On September 18, 2014, the Governor signed into law AB 1147
(Bonilla), which, upon its effective date of January 1, 2015, replaced SB 731 and AB
619 in their entirety. AB 1147 restored local land use authority back to local
governments, as well as assigning certain responsibilities of massage regulation to the
State. The State is able to regulate the certification of massage technicians through
CAMTC. This organization requires massage technicians to meet specific State
requirements, such as a minimum age requirement of 18 years, a minimum amount of
education and training hours, and fingerprint and background checks by the Department
of Justice. Local governments are able to regulate massage businesses through their
land -use authority and business licensing regulations to ensure that massage
establishments will be operating in its intended manner. In 2016, the City amended
sections of the Municipal Code to restore its authority on the regulation of massage
establishments proposed within the City.

7.1
Business Licensing
When the City amended Title 5 of the Municipal Code, it revised provisions relating to
the issuance of business licenses and operational requirements of massage
establishment businesses and the practice of massage. The amendment created a
more robust process before a business license can be issued. Business owner(s) for
massage establishments are required to submit documentation prior to the issuance of
a business license, including, but not limited to:
• Background check of the owner(s);
• Proof of CAMTC certification;
• Personal information such as current and previous residential and business
addresses;
• Complete business, occupation and employment history; and
• Such other information and identification deemed necessary by the Sheriff's
Department.
The applicant has submitted all of the required documentation above. Additionally, the
Sheriff's Department conducted a background investigation and cleared the applicant to
proceed with obtaining a business license if the CUP is approved.
Operational Requirements
Specific operational requirements were included to ensure that all proposed facilities are
operated adequately. The massage establishment business will be responsible to
comply with these operational requirements, such as specific building and facility
requirements, maintenance of the suite and related equipment, personnel lists, hours of
operation, posting requirements, acknowledgement of what is considered prohibited
conduct and inspection requirements. The massage establishment business will be
subject to all business license and land use requirements to comply with current
regulations.
Additionally, massage establishments are subject to inspection(s) by the L.A. County
Department of Public Health under the City's Health Services Agreement with the
County. If the CUP is approved, the County will be notified that this existing business
has been authorized to provide full body massage services, subject to conditions.
Required Parking
Shopping centers over 50,000 square feet in size are required to provide one parking
space for every 300 square feet of gross floor area. Towne Centre Village consists of
approximately 77,984 square feet of space. Although the various buildings in the
shopping center are located on separately -owned parcels, all parcels fall under a single
shared parking arrangement. The parking requirements for businesses approved under
a CUP (e.g., fitness centers, schools, tutoring, etc.,) are calculated separately.
Conditional Use Permit No. PL2024-12 Page 7 of 10
Packet Pg. 15
7.1
The shopping center provides 293 on -site parking spaces. The parking required for the
current mix of uses within the center, excluding the proposed massage establishment is
265 spaces. The parking requirement for the proposed massage establishment is six
spaces. Consequently, the overall on -site parking requirement for the shopping center
would be 271 spaces. This results in a surplus of 22 spaces, in compliance with the
Development Code requirements. The following table provides a summary of the
parking requirements for the shopping center:

Parking Demand
When assessing parking impacts on shopping centers, the various uses and peak
business hours for those uses are taken into consideration. The existing shopping
center has uses ranging from retail, restaurants, medical and professional offices,
personal services, a veterinary clinic, a bank, a martial arts studio and dance studio.
The varying uses result in a range of peak business hours and parking demands. The
peak parking demand typically occurs on weekdays from 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. for
commercial shopping centers. The massage establishment will operate during these
peak parking demand times, on Mondays through Sundays. However, the maximum
number of people on site at any given time is nine (comprising of four customers and
five employees). As a result, there will be limited demand for parking during business
operating hours.
As the center has 293 parking spaces available, there would still be a surplus of 12
parking spaces under this parking demand scenario.

Staff does not foresee any parking issues resulting from the proposed use. The existing
parking supply is adequate and can accommodate the proposed massage
establishment. In addition, it is an existing business and the proposed addition of
massage services will not add square footage to the existing building.
Compatibility with Neighborhood
Towne Centre Village is surrounded by commercial establishments to the north, south,
and east, with residential condominiums adjacent to the west (rear) of the property. The
shopping center has a variety of uses, including retail, restaurants, medical and
professional offices, personal services, a veterinary clinic, a bank, a martial arts studio
and a dance studio. The proposed massage services will be located within an existing
establishment. Additionally, the business is equipped with security cameras throughout
the facility to protect its employees and customers. A security camera is placed at the
front and rear entrances, the front counter and hallway. Given the proposed hours of
operation, the availability of parking, security measures and types of adjoining uses, it is
reasonable to conclude that the massage services will be compatible with the other
uses in the center.
However, once the massage services are in operation, and should noise, traffic and/or
parking issues arise, the Community Development Director, after providing the applicant
a reasonable opportunity to mitigate the impact(s) to an acceptable level, may refer the
matter back to the Planning Commission to consider amending or revoking the CUP to
address such impacts (Condition of Approval #4).

1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set
forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
Packet Pg. 19
7.1.a
2. The Planning Commission hereby determines the Project to be
Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the provisions of Article 19,
Section 15301(a) (Interior alterations involving partitions and electrical
conveyances) of the CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no further
environmental review is required.
C. FINDINGS OF FACT
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth herein and as prescribed under
Diamond Bar City Code (DBCC) Section 22.58, this Planning Commission hereby
finds and approves as follows:
Conditional Use Permit Review Findinas (DBCC Section 22.58
1. The Proposed Use is allowed within the subject zoning district with the
approval of a conditional use permit and complies with all other applicable
provisions of this Development Code and the Municipal Code.
Pursuant to DBCC Section 22.10.030 Table 2-6, personal services -
massage establishments —as defined by DBCC Section 22.80.020—is
permitted in the C-3 zoning district with approval of a conditional use permit.
The proposed massage services will be located within an existing business
with other personal service uses such as hair and nail salons, located at the
Towne Centre Village shopping center.
Pursuant to DBCC Section 5.08.070, massage establishments are subject
to all business license and operational land use requirements.
2. The Proposed Use is consistent with the general plan and any applicable
specific plan.
The Proposed Use is consistent with General Plan Goal ED-G-3: ("Support
the retention, rehabilitation, and/or expansion of existing businesses, and
the attraction of new businesses") in that the addition of massage services
is proposed at an existing business providing services to Diamond Bar
residents.
The Project site is not subject to the provisions of any specific plan.
3. The design, location, size and operating characteristics of the Proposed
Use are compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.
The Proposed Use is located within a multi -tenant shopping center occupied
by a variety of uses including retail, restaurants, medical and professional
offices, personal services, a veterinary clinic, a bank, a martial arts studio
and a dance studio. The proposed massage services will be located within
2
PC Resolution No. 2024-XX
Packet Pg. 20
7.1.a
an existing business with other personal service uses such as hair and nail
salons located at the Towne Centre Village shopping center. The Proposed
Use complies with the City's Development Code parking requirement as
well as parking demand. The Proposed Use will only operate during
operating hours from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm.
Given the proposed hours of operation, the availability of parking, and types
of adjoining uses, it is reasonable to conclude that the proposed massage
services will be compatible with the other uses in the center.
Through compliance with the conditions of approval stipulating the manner
in which the use must be conducted, the Proposed Use will be compatible
with the other uses within the shopping center.
4. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of
use being proposed, including access, provision of utilities, compatibility
with adjoining land uses, and the absence of physical constraints.
The Proposed Use is physically suitable within the subject site because it
will be located in an existing building that is currently operating with personal
service uses, and no additional square footage is being proposed. In
addition, the Proposed Use is intended to operate within an existing
shopping center and will be using existing access and parking in the center.
5. Granting the conditional use permit will not be detrimental to the public
interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare, or injurious to persons,
property, or improvements in the vicinity and zoning district in which the
property is located.
Prior to the issuance of any city permits, the Project is required to comply
with all conditions of approval within the attached resolution, and the
Building and Safety Division.
6. The proposed Project has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions
of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The proposed use is categorically exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as set forth under Article 19
Section 15301(a) (Interior alterations involving partitions and electrical
conveyances) of the CEQA Guidelines.
