In approving a Conditional Use Permit, the council may impose such specific conditions with regard to the development or operation of the proposed use as it considers necessary to satisfy the seven standards set forth in Section 30-654 and the requirements contained in this article and to promote compatibility with and minimize any potentially adverse effects upon adjacent properties, the neighborhood or the city. The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: 1. Will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. Any residential property in the city is allowed to have up to six animal units without needing to obtain a permit. The applicant is asking over three times the allowed animal units to be located on the subject parcel. Without specified conditions, having an increased amount of animal units could lead to public health issues and excessive odors. The city has received a couple of complaints regarding odor coming from the subject parcel. To address these concerns, staff proposes the following conditions: feces be cleaned from the property twice weekly; limiting the number of animal units to 21; and requiring the cages to comply with the accessory structure setbacks. 2. Will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The property is guided for residential uses that allow private kennels. The use will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff does not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 3. Will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property. As there are no vacant properties in the subject area, the use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property. Staff does not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 4. Will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares. The use will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares. Staff does not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 5. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons or property because of excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations. Animal waste and odors are always a concern with private kennels. The use could involve uses and activities that could be detrimental to any persons or property because of excessive odors. To address these concerns, staff proposes the following conditions: feces be cleaned from the property twice weekly; and the private kennel shall be limited to 21 animal units.
