Page 2 2. Include "Pet Boarding" in the Use Table. J Pet boarding —overnight and day care — within an enclosed building could be added to the use tables as a permitted or conditional use in appropriate zoning districts. Appropriate conditions could be included as qualifers in the use table (e.g. sound and odor control). Define "Pet and Pet Sup�lv Store" to Include Pet Boardin� The use "pet and pet supply store" is not currently defined in the City's zoning code, but appears as a permitted or conditional use in the use table for commercial districts. A definition of this use such as the following could be added to the definition section of the zoning code: "PET AND PET SUPPLY STORE: A retail establishment engaged in the sale of pets and pet supplies and which may also provide veterinary care, overnight boarding or day care of pets, animal grooming and training. The definition could further limit the percentage of the area of the store devoted to pet boarding and could condition its operation by adding requirements that limit the floor area of the pet boarding use and that require enclosure, sound and odor control. There can be disadvantages in defining a land use in this way because it can limit the flexibility of the zoning code to adapt to the reasonable variety and evolution of land uses that are not anticipated at the time a definition is adopted. � 4. Define "Pet Boardin�" and Include it in the Use Tables If the City's preference is to establish '`pet boarding" as a principle land use, it could be defined include overnight boarding and day care of pets with appropriate conditions. Pr�cess fc�r Zn�i!�g 'I'e�t Amendc�ent A�plicat�on Our goal is to submit an application for a text amendment as soon as possible in order to obtain City approval of the pet boarding use during the build out of the PetSmart store in Rosedale Commons. In order to work in the most cooperative and expeditious manner, however, we recognize that it is best to give City staff an opportunity to evaluate the options discussed above, and others you may identify, and discuss with you staft's preferred options before submitting our application. We would also like the opportunity to discuss further conditions or qualifiers that staff may be considering for pet boarding uses to ensure that they are consistent with PetSmart's proposed operation. Also in the interest of expeditious processing, we will need to determine whether, depending on the text amendment ultimately proposed, PetSmart will need to amend its conditional use
