Background/Discussion <br />CU 21-12 <br />The property is zoned C1 (Central Business District) where Commercial Kennels require a Conditional Use Permit <br />(CUP). The applicant is seeking a CUP to operate a doggy daycare and/or boarding facility. The property is an <br />existing building on a fully paved parcel with no green space. They are not proposing any interior or exterior <br />modifications to the building, parking lot, or signage. <br />The site can be accessed from 3rd Street and Railroad Drive and there are approximately 70 parking stalls for the <br />entire property, seven of which are provided on the west side of the structure, where the business will be located. <br />The site plan shows this west side of the structure to be utilized for the dogs to exercise and to relieve themselves. <br />Staff recommends an outdoor exercise area be defined by a six -foot -tall opaque fence. <br />The property is currently used for dog training, and they would like to also use it for overflow from their current <br />daycare and boarding business located at 503 Jackson Avenue. When being used for daycare/boarding, this facility <br />will not be accessible to the public. Owners will drop their dogs off at 503 Jackson Avenue and employees will <br />transfer dogs between facilities. Owners will also pick up their dogs at 503 Jackson Avenue. <br />There will be at least one employee for every 15 dogs on the property during the day, and one employee on -site in <br />the overnight hours. They estimate 20-30 dogs may occupy the building. <br />Planning Commission <br />The Planning Commission inquired what businesses were located next to the subject parcel. It was noted there <br />was a preschool, which will be changing locations soon. <br />During the public hearing, no one spoke for or against the request and staff has not received any comments since <br />the commission meeting. <br />The Commission unanimously recommended approval. <br />Since the meeting, the applicant provided a sketch showing where parking (green) and the fenced in area (red) <br />would be located.
