City of Santa Rosa Planning Commission 10-22-26

The City of Santa Rosa Planning Commission meeting on October 22, 2026, included an appeal hearing for 88 Spa, located at 1104 College Avenue (file MEC26-0004). Staff recommended denying the appeal and upholding the denial of the massage establishment certificate, citing an advertisement on an illicit website and other compliance concerns under the city’s massage ordinance. The appellant disputed responsibility for the listing and argued that the website had copied the business’s information without authorization; commissioners also discussed whether the additional evidence presented by staff was appropriate to consider.

The commission adopted the resolution upholding the director’s denial of the certificate; the motion passed 4–1, with Commissioners Carter, Cisco, Duggan, and Weeks voting aye and Commissioner Horton voting no. Commissioners Pardo and Sanders were absent. Several other agenda items were continued to later meetings. No procurement, contract, vendor-selection, or budget activity was identified.
