29 5.0 GENERAL COMMENTS 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 5.1 The only pet-related use listed among the uses allowed in the I-1 District is "dog kennel", which happens to be a conditionally permitted use. While the proposed daycare/boarding use is not actually a kennel and is believed to be less intensive of a use than a kennel, given an equal number of dogs, this application is being treated as a kennel because a kennel is reasonably similar to the proposed use. The present zoning on the property would allow the proposal to be reviewed as a conditional use; as part of the ongoing zoning update process, however, the property will soon be rezoned to a high-density residential zoning district to be consistent with the land use guidance of the Comprehensive Plan, and dog kennel/daycare/boarding uses are not included among the allowed uses in the proposed, new zoning district. ao 5.2 The proposal is to begin the daycare with an average of about 20 dogs per day and 41 possibly grow to 40 dogs per day within a couple of years, with possibly as many as 80 42 dogs further in the future. The dogs present for overnight boarding would average about 43 10 per night, up to a maximum of 17. 44 5.3 ItvTER�M usE applications typically represent departures from what is allowed by the 45 normal zoning requirements; in this case, the proposed use is consistent with the existing 46 I-1 zoning but is inconsistent the Comprehensive Plan land use designation. In light of a� the conflict between the present light-industrial zoning and the high-density residential as land use designation and the City Council's reluctance to confer permanent (i.e., 49 coNDiT�otvAL usE) approvals where significant, future redevelopment is desirable, 5o Planning Division staff advised the applicant to seek approval of the proposed dog 51 daycare/boarding use as an INTERIM USE. Temporary approval of the INTERIM USE can 52 ensure that the approval expires on a pre-determined date or at such time as the use is 53 voluntarily discontinued, whichever comes first. Because the dog daycare/boarding is 54 believed to be less intensive than kennels, Planning Division staff would recommend 55 approving the �tvTER�M uSE with the maximum duration of 5 years. If the owners of the 56 business wish to continue beyond the 5-year limit, they may apply for renewed approval 57 of the INTERIM USE. ss 5.4 The sales of dog-related merchandise is expected to be ancillary in nature, predominantly 59 serving the customers of the daycare/boarding services rather than attracting its own 6o shoppers like a stand-alone pet supply shop. For this reason, Planning Division staff o� would recommend treating this is a minor part of the proposed �tvTERllvt usE. s2 5.5 The application materials also mention an event planning/decor rental business. This a s3 sort of office/showroom use that is treated as a permitted use in the I-1 District and is sa only mentioned in the application to account for how the floor area of the existing �5 building is to be used; it will not be addressed as part of the ItvTER�M usE. 66 6.O INTERIM USE APPLICATIONS s� Section 1012.09 (Interim Uses) of the City Code establishes the regulations pertaining to 68 INTERIM USES. 69 6.1 Section 1012.09A states: The City Council may authorize an interim use of property. 7o Interim uses may not be consistent with the land uses designated on the adopted Land PF10-024 RCA_110810 (2).doc Page 2 of 5 � �
