City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for January 8, 2020 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-017 Arden Shoreview Animal Hospital 1261 County Road E - CUP Amendment Page 2 of 6 The current use of the subject property is not intensifying from its original approvals and there are no exterior modifications proposed site with this request. It is important to note that the subject property is non-conforming due to the size and setback requirements of the lot and a variance was granted as a condition of approval for Planning Case No. 84-5. Per the city attorney, the previously approved variance will carry over to the new Conditional Use Permit as a condition of approval. Staff note that in the 35 year history of the clinic operating at that location, there have been no code enforcement complaints regarding traffic and parking conditions and other nuisance characteristics, and Staff does not anticipate that approval of the Conditional Use Permit Amendment will have a negative impact. Plan Evaluation Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review 1. Changes in Conditionally Permitted Uses Conditional Use Permits may be amended when any structural alteration, enlargement or intensification thereof, or similar change not specifically permitted by the permit. The permit shall be amended solely for the proposed use of a particular site, not for a particular person or firm. When granting a Conditional Use Permit Amendment, the City may impose conditions as it deems necessary to serve and protect the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the community. 2. 1355.04 Procedural Requirements for Specific Applications The Applicants are requesting that some of the language in their existing Special Use Permit be amended and that some of the language be removed. The language in the existing Special Use Permit Case No. 84-5 must be amended so that the new document conforms to the current format and style of Conditional Use Permits that the City employs. Once approved, the new language of the amended Conditional Use Permit will supersede the provisions in the previous Special use Permit document. The Applicants request removing the language below from of paragraph two (2) of the existing SUP. “shall provide complete health, medical, surgical and emergency services to companion animals. In addition, it will provide "animal house call service" for elderly and handicapped animal owners in the area and a facility for the boarding of animals. Its hours of operation are to be 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. on Mondays through Fridays and 9:00 A.M. to noon on Saturdays. Emergencies are to be handled on an "on-call" basis.” The clinic is a permitted use by right in the B-2 district and has not been the city practice to regulate the operating hours or procedures of a clinic.
