massage and bodywork professionals

a community of practitioners

I've been planning my business and just accidentaly stumbled upon something on the city of phoenix website and was floored. I just moved here from washington and I guess I'm not used to the big prostitution issues they have here in phoenix. They actually charge a $550 application fee plus a $30 license fee to have a massage establishment here. If that isnt bad enough, the way it reads it sounds as if you can't do outcall without a physical establishment since the police have to inspect it?????
I was wanting to know if I am correct about this and if so how other therapists who just want to do mobile massage are handling this situation. I dont know about other therapists but I really cant afford to add another $550 to my startup, and that's assuming they will even allow me to practice.
What's even more degrading is that the only other fee this high is for sexually oriented business in which case the application fee is $600.
