TO: Zachary Carlton, Planning Manager <br /> FROM: John Madsen <br /> SUBJ: Dog Daycare and Boarding Zoning Notes <br /> DATE: August 11, 2016 <br /> As we had previously discussed, I inquired with various cities in our area, to determine what their <br /> zoning requirements were for dog daycare and boarding facilities. My results are as follows: <br /> Please note, city staff research'notes are embedded within thepr-avided documentation from the <br /> applicant. Staff notes arefound italicized and highlighted in grey, <br /> Princeton <br /> Paws Up 4 You—This doggy daycare is located in their downtown area. It is on their main road <br /> through town (Rum River Drive), and shares the block with residential dwellings immediately behind <br /> it. The City of Princeton categorized it the same as they do for children's daycare. They do not allow <br /> overnight boarding in residential areas. Their requirements included: <br /> • Animals are allowed outside only under direct supervision. <br /> • A maximum number of animals allowed at the facility will be established by the Planning <br /> Commission at the time of interim use permit issuance. <br /> • Noise shall be mitigated so as to not create a public nuisance for adjoining properties. <br /> • Indoor and outdoor facilities are to be kept in a clean, dry, and sanitary condition. <br /> • Waste shall be picked up immediately and disposed of in a sealed container. <br /> • Adequate storage and refrigeration shall be provided to protect food supplies against <br /> contamination and deterioration. <br /> • Indoor facilities shall be adequately ventilated and have ample light and heat. <br /> • Adequate screening shall be provided, as determined by the Planning Commission. <br /> • Hours of operation shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. <br /> Located in B-2 Neighborhood Business <br /> City ofPrinceton' City Council did an or=dinance amendment to allow "Kennels"in the B-2 zoning <br /> distr-ict'as a conditional use to allow this business. <br /> Maple Grove <br /> Petsmart—They have an indoor daycare/boarding facility. The city of Maple Grove allowed it as <br /> "integral to their retail business." <br /> Adogo —This facility is in a zone that the city of Maple Grove has designated as "freeway frontage." <br /> It is up to the Planning Director to determine which businesses can locate in this zone. They do not <br /> require a CUP. Their main concern was noise, and since it was close to the freeway, they didn't feel <br /> that any additional noise would be a concern, since the freeway already generated a lot of noise. <br /> Located in FF Freeway Frontage <br /> Jh&distr=ict'is intended io implement the city's comprehensive plan, by,allowing a n ixtur-e of land <br /> uses. <br /> Minnetonka <br /> Adogo—The city of Minnetonka required a CUP for this business. With an approved CUP, they would <br /> allow them in either commercial or industrial zones. They issued the CUP because they felt that this <br />
