�e City Coimcil of the City of Fridley de��s it x�eoessary to prwide for the
special and express regulation of husinesses or oo�anercial enterprises which
operate as massage parlors, saunas and similar adult orientated services
operating �der differ�t names in order to protect ti�e public health, safety
and welfare and to guard against the inception and transmission of disease.
�e City Coimcil further finds tl�at oamnercial enterprises such as the type
described above, and all other similaz establishments whose services include
sessions offered to adults, conducted in �ivate by manbers of the same or the
opposite sex, and-smploying personnel with no specialized training, are
susceptible to �ecation in a mannez contiavening� subvertin9 oz endangering
tl�e morals of the oamo�ity by being tl�e site of acts of prostitution, illicit
sex and occasions of violent crimes, thus requiring close inspection,
licensing and tegulation.
The City Council also finds that control and regulation of commercial
establishments of these types, in view of the abuses often perpetrated,
requize intensive efforts b�+ the Police Degart�nent, Public Aealth Sanitazian
and other degsrtrnents of the City. As a wnsequence, the corx�ntrated use of
City servioes in suc3� control detracts from and reduces the level of service
available to the rPSt af the ooanrnmity and tl�ere� diminishes the ability of
the City to pranote the general health, welfare and safety of the community.
In consic3eration for the neoessity on the part of the City to prwide ntmierous
services to all sec�nents of the oammmity, witY�out a concentration of public
services in one area working to the detriment of the members of the general
public, the nwnber af sa�ma and massage parlor lioenses whic�h may be in force
at ariy one tiroe shall be two, for oam��ercial Yxasinesses,
