` APPLICATION OF PE7'SMART, INC. FOR AMENDMEN"f OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW PET BOARUINC AND YE`T DAY CARF, ATTACHMENT A: WRITTEN NAKRATIVE INTRODUCTION PetSmart, Inc, is applying for an amendment of the conditional use permit (CUP) that was issued by the City Council in June, 2007 to allow PetSmart to open a pet and pet supply store in Rosedale Commons Shopping Center, 2480 Fairview Avenue (the "Premises"), which is located in the Shopping Center (SC) zoning district. PetSmart specialires in the sale of small pets, pet food, supplies, accessories, veterinary care, pet grooming, training, and boarding services. After the property owner, Rosedale Commons LP, applied for the original CUP (Planning File 07-026), it was determined during the course of the City's review of that application that the pet boarding and day care services proposed by PetSmart were classified under current city zoning ordinances as an "animal kennel" use, which is not allowed in the SC zoning district. Recognizing that the issues related to pet boarding would require further consideration and analysis and in order to move the project forward, the City Council approved a CUP for a pet store, with the condition that boarding and pet day care be excluded irom the list of allowed uses on the Premises. PetSmart has now tiled an application for an amendment of the Roseville loning Code to allow for its proposed pet boarding and day care as accessory uses to a pet store. An amendment to the CUP issued in June is also required to clarify that pet boarding and pet day care uses will be allowed on the Premises upon approval of the requested zoning text amendment. PREVIOUSLY APPROVED USES PetSmart currently operates approximately 988 stores in North America with annual sales exceeding $3.8 billion dollars and employs over 37,000 associates. Founded in 1987, PetSmart is the leading worldwide operator of retai] stores specializing in the sale oi� small pets, pet food, supplies, accessories, veterinary care, pet grooming, training, and boarding services. The vision of PetSmart is to be the preferred provider for the lifetime needs of pets. In this respect, PetSmart provides the total lifetime needs of pets such as adoption, nutrition, health care, shelter, and proper pet and owner education. In June 2007, the City Council approved an application by the property owner for a CUP to allow PetSmart to operate a pet and pet supply store in a 26,060 square foot space in Rosedale Commons Shopping Center. The CUP approved by the City Council allows the following use of the Premises: the retail sale of: (i) pets (including but not limited to fish, birds, reptiles, dogs, cats and other small animals); (ii) food, accessories and other products relating to pets and animals, including equestrian products; and (iii) services related to pets and animals, such as grooming, animal training and obedience classes, pet adoption and veterinary services.
