Define "Pet and Pet Supply 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.

These services meet a growing demand from pet owners whose travel schedules require them to board their pets overnight and whose work schedules make it difficult to give their dogs the daily activity and attention that they need. PetSmart provides the high quality of care and attention for their pets that today's pet owners demand. An amendment of the zoning code is also necessary and appropriate because the PetsHotel boarding services provided by PetSmart do not fall within the concept of a traditional `'dog kennel" and should not be regulated in the same manner. PetSmart provides these pet boarding and day care services in a facility that is specially design to be compatible with its other retail 2
