Chair Blank inquired how long the applicant had been working in her previous location <br />Ms. Amos replied that she believes it was for about five or six years. She noted that the <br />applicant was present and could respond to that question as well as provide any details <br />the Commission may want to know about Tranquil Massage Center. <br />Chair Blank inquired if there had been any complaints or issues about the business that <br />had been reported to the Police Department. <br />Ms. Stern replied that a representative from the Police Department is present and can <br />address that issue. She reminded the Commission that this modification would allow <br />this use and any massage establishments to operate at this specific location, just as <br />they could in other locations within the City. <br />Quantise Bradley, Community Service Officer, stated that she handles the processing of <br />massage applications and manages the massage files in the Police Department. She <br />indicated that there are no complaints on file for Tranquil Massage Center, and the only <br />problem encountered at this establishment was during a compliance check in November <br />2012, when one of the massage therapists was issued an administrative citation for a <br />violation of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. She noted that a hearing was held, and the <br />subject is no longer working at the business. <br />Chair Blank inquired if that was a misdemeanor <br />Ms. Bradley referred the question to Larissa Seto. <br />Ms. Seto replied that it is a violation of the Pleasanton Municipal Code, which is an <br />administrative citation, so the massage technician is no longer allowed to provide <br />massages in the community. She indicated that the license previously issued by the <br />Police Department for that technician was effectively revoked, but the establishment <br />continues to remain in business. <br />Chair Blank inquired if each technician has his /her own license. <br />Ms. Seto replied that was correct and added that the business itself also has a license. <br />She explained that the massage establishment has a business license, and each <br />technician has a business license as well. <br />Chair Blank inquired if any violation in the Pleasanton Municipal Code results in <br />automatic forfeiture of the license or if it is dependent upon what the violation was and <br />the conditions. <br />Ms. Seto replied that a citation is issued if there is a violation, but there is no automatic <br />revocation as everyone has due process and is give a chance to appeal. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 8, 2013 Page 13 of 25 <br />
