concluded that "there was no measurable noise eXposure of dogs barking to the outdoor environment." The "[s]ound levels from dogs barking at both locations were either not audible or were below the ambient noise level, in all cases but one which was barely audible." The PetsHotel design incorporates a"Pet Reliefl' room, i.e., a room with unique floor textures and odors designed to encourage pet waste to occur in this room. Nevertheless, regardless of where in the faciliry pet waste occurs, all pet waste is either flushed or washed directly into the sanitary sewer system.

COMPLIANCE WITH CUP CRITERIA The staff report prepared at the time of the original CUP application concluded that the proposed pet store, including boarding and day care facilities, met all the criteria that the City Council is to consider when reviewing an application for a CUP. The information provided with this application to amend the CUP reaffirms those findings. Im�act on traffic: The pet store use is expected to generate similar volumes and peak hour movements as the prior Comp USA tenant. 1'he additional trips generated by people bringing their pets to the store f�or boarding will be negligible compared to existing traf�fic generated by the shopping center. Impacts on parks, streets and other public facilities: I'he pet store, including boarding facilities, will have no appreciable impact on public facilities. Compatibility: Staff appropriately concluded when evaluating the original application that a pet store is an appropriate use for the site and is compatible with surrounding uses. As discussed above, the pet boarding facilities will have no adverse traffic or environmental impacts for surrounding uses and, thus, will have no adversc impact on market value of contiguous properties. The inclusion of pet boarding and day care in other PetSmart stores has proven to be compatible with other uses in shopping centers and in commercial districts. 3
