The Community Development Department has concluded that the 'Impacts 28 created by a change in use (pet store with doggie day care and pet boarding) Would be 29 negligible. Our experience is that such new uses would add few vehicles to peak hour 40 30 movements. That being said the 2004, Average Daily Traffic (ADT n County Road B2 31 was 18, 100 and on Fairview Avenue it was 151,1500. 31 33 6.4 Compatibilit3r.

However, the proposal is for a fully-enclosed pet (dog and cat) 36 boarding area within the PetSmart store that 'includes a separate interior access. 1he 37 facility includes acoustical 'Insulation to eliminate noise created by barking dogs and 38 screeching cats. The facility also includes state-of-the-art waste removal, to eliminate 39 odors for the outside. Thus the City planner has determined the proposed use is an 140 appropriate use for the site and is Compatible with surrounding uses. 41 42 16.5 Health, Safety, General Welfare. Because the boarding of dogs and cats will occur 43 within the facility with no outdoor exposure, and measures will be implemented to 44 address noisle and pet waste, the City Planner has concluded that there appears to be no 45 impact on general public health, safety, and welfare, PF07-063—RCA-0 I 1408.doe Page 4 of 7
