Mesa massage parlor complaints decline
…
She works at a west Mesa bead shop called Creative Destination, and said the situation is the same as in 2009, when she and shop owner Emily Cassaday told The Republic that activity at a next-door massage parlor was making their own customers uneasy.
…
Bloomquist said she lives near another southwest Mesa massage parlor whose owner was stabbed to death in late 2010 and believes the shops are still a scourge on the city.
…
Now, however, massage parlors no longer receive such intense scrutiny.
“There is no dedicated unit anymore that specifically works massage parlor enforcement,” police spokesman Sgt. Ed Wessing said. “We had a unit that was working aggressively with that. We no longer have that.”
…
“By and large we are having good compliance across the city,” Wessing said, and in recent years “we haven’t had any arrests for prostitution” related to massage parlors.

Scottsdale looking to change massage parlor rules
Posted:
Updated:
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Scottsdale is looking at implementing new rules aimed at keeping prostitution out of massage parlors. Scottsdale police officials tell The Arizona Republic (http://bit.ly/HrLfLp ) the biggest change would involve the requirements for an on-site manager who acts as the point of contact for a business. The on-site manager would be required to be at the business during operating hours and carry a city-issued ID card.
Also an annual massage-facility license would increase to $300, from $260. A late renewal fee would go up to $200, from $180.
One north Scottsdale spa owner says she’s already paying nearly $600 a year to renew her operating license.
More than 140 establishments are listed as having massage licenses in Scottsdale.

Barring Tatoo Parolor May Violate Free Speech
     (CN) – The First Amendment protects tattoo art as an expression of free speech, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled.
     Ryan and Laetitia Coleman sued Mesa, Ariz., after the city denied their request to open a tattoo parlor.
     Mesa law requires tattoo parlors to be licensed and located at least 1,200 feet from a school, a body-piercing salon or an existing tattoo parlor. It must also be compatible with the surrounding land uses.
     The Colemans operated Angel Tattoo in Nice, France, and were trying to open a branch of their business in a Mesa strip mall that also included business suchs as a massage parlor, a hair salon and restaurants.
     The Planning and Zoning Board denied the Colemans’ request after voicing concerns that the parlor would not be appropriate for the neighborhood. Though the city council agreed to hear the Colemans’ case, it also voted no.

Judge Ann Scott Timmer, writing for the unanimous court, said cities can consider citizen viewpoints in deciding whether a particular business is appropriate to a neighborhood. But she said a city cannot deny a permit to a tattoo parlor “based solely on neighborhood hostility born from perceptions about tattoo parlors that may or may not be accurate.”
“If this was permitted, unpopular speech could be silenced easily under the guise of land use planning,” Timmer said.
Thursday’s ruling could have implications beyond Mesa, potentially undermining laws in other cities that impose special restrictions on where tattoo parlors can be located.
Dennis Kavanaugh, the council members in whose district the shop wants to go — and who voted to deny the permit — said he wants to study the ruling before deciding whether to ask colleagues to appeal to the Arizona Supreme Court. His concern is whether it is so broad that it could undermine the ability of cities to restrict other kinds of businesses like pawn shops and massage parlors.

The details (careful wording of euphemisms) for this New Age operation of `spiritual therapy` were sifted through with a fine tooth comb. Phoenix police Sgt. Steve Marlos explains how the interchangeable wordplay works.
“Instead of Johns, they were called seekers. Instead of s(e)xual intercourse, it was called sacred union. Women were not called prostitutes, they were called goddesses. Instead of a brothel or a house of prostitution, they called it a church.”

Close to two-dozen cars were left overnight outside the clubs. Advertising fliers were tucked under windshield wipers with a few scattered on the sidewalk.
A city worker picked up trash along Wells Fargo Avenue. Cab drivers snoozed in a parking lot east of the W Scottsdale Hotel as they waited for a fare.
The Minnezona neighborhood was free of debris or any leftover cars. “Please! No bar parking” signs were staked in front yards up and down the block. Otherwise it was as calm as any other neighborhood.
Offices by day, bars by night
Scottsdale’s entertainment district is unlike many others in that it is scattered amid a maze of streets with almost no retail shops, just a few hair salons, massage parlors and two pizza eateries – Joe’s New York Pizza and Gus’s NY Pizza.
