Mr. 11 Paschke noted that this site was the former CompUSA site, and had been heard at the Planning 12 Commission level several months ago, with there being a lack of clarity by the Community Development 13 Department of the nature and magnitude of the original request. Mr. Paschke noted that since that 14 original request, the City Planner and City Attorney had worked with legal counsel representatives of 15 Faegre and Benson; with the outcome represented in this request for text amendment defining "Dog 16 Kennel" and Conditional Use Permit application and accessory use provisions. Mr. Paschke clarified 17 that the Text Amendment was sought for Section 1002 (Definitions) pertaining to Dog Kennels and 18 Section 1005 (Use Table) allowing pet boarding as an accessory use in a Pet and Pet Supply Store; and 19 that the applicant further seeks amendment to their previously-approved CUP to support the boarding of 20 up to 108 dogs, 15 cats and a doggie day camp/daycare facility capable of accommodating up to 70 21 dogs. 22 Mr. Paschke advised that staff recommended approval of a ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT to Section 23 1002 and 1005 of the Roseville City Code; and an AMENDMENT to the PetSmart CONDITIONAL USE 24 PERMIT to allow the pet boarding and doggie daycare within the PetSmart facility at Rosedale Commons 25 Shopping Center, 2480 Fairview Avenue; based on the findings outlined in Section 6, and the conditions 26 detailed in Section 7 of the project report dated December 5, 2007. 27 Mr. Paschke advised that staff had originally been concerned with potential noise issues; however, after 28 discussion, and understanding the proposed construction and current code and ordinance enforcement 29 with this use, staff was confident that there would be no impact on the adjacent residential area to the 30 north of this site. 31 32 33 34 35 36 Mr. Paschke requested several modifications since preparation of the staff report: Condition A: where language indicates "dogs/cats," it would represent 108 dog KENNELS and 15 cat KENNELS; Condition C: delivery of animals for boarding — allowances were requested for drop off at 7:00 a.m.; with the City Attorney expressing no concerns, making it commensurate with the operation of the facility, and to accommodate work hours of those dropping off and picking up their pets. 37 Discussion included anticipated days and hours of operation; clarification of the number of total pets; the 38 separate and distinct use of this application; state licensing requirements versus City Code requirements 39 and provisions; and percentage of the facility to be used for boarding purposes. 40 Applicant, Carol Lansing, Faegre and Benson, 90 S 7`" Street, Mpls., MN 41 Troy Creasy (11306 Ibis Street NW, Coon Rapids, MN), Maple Grove PetSmart Store Laurie Buth, 42 Maple Grove PetSmart Store 43 Ms. Lansing noted the concept and existence of three (3) other PetSmart stores currently approved with 44 pet hotels.
