103 a. The proposed use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. While an animal 104 boarding facility doesn't appreciably advance the goals of the Comprehensive Plan 105 aside from facilitating continued investment in a property, the Planning Commission 106 has found that it does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. 107 b. The proposed use is not in conflict with a Regulating Map or other adopted plan. The 108 proposed use is not in conflict with such plans because none apply to the property. 109 c. The proposed use is not in conflict with any City Code requirements. If the zoning 110 code is amended as proposed, the Planning Commission found that the proposed 111 outdoor component to the dog day care facility can and will meet all applicable City 112 Code requirements; moreover, a CONDITIONAL USE approval can be rescinded if the 113 approved use fails to comply with all applicable Code requirements or any conditions 114 of the approval. 115 d. The proposed use will not create an excessive burden on parks, streets, and other 116 public facilities. An animal boarding /day care facility that is conducted entirely 117 indoors is a permitted use in the CB zoning district and, not being adjacent to parks or 118 other public facilities except for streets and a storm sewer, any potential impacts 119 would be caused by pet waste and patron traffic. The outdoor component should not 120 increase traffic noticeably beyond what could be expected for an indoor facility, and 121 conditions to minimize impacts to the storm sewer system can be attached to an 122 approval of the request. For these reasons, the Planning Commission documented its 123 finding that the proposal should not be expected to intensify any practical impacts on 124 parks, streets, or public infrastructure. 125 e. The proposed use will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood, will not 126 negatively impact traffic or property values, and will not otherwise harm the public 127 health, safety, and general welfare. This applicant received approval of a similar 128 facility in 2010 as an interim use, which was granted with a series of conditions to 129 minimize impacts to the several residential neighbors of the previous location and, 130 during the entire 3 -year operation, City staff has received no complaints about noise, 131 odors, or other nuisances. With some similar conditions attached to an approval of the 132 present application, the Planning Commission has found that the proposed use will 133 not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood, will not negatively impact traffic or 134 property values, and will not otherwise harm the public health, safety, and general 135 welfare. 136 5.2 REVIEW OF SPECIFIC CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA: Section 1009.021) of the City Code 137 establishes additional standards and criteria that are specific to drive - through facilities; 138 the requirements as amended by the proposed ZONING TEXT CHANGE are as follows. 139 a. Outdoor dog runs or exercise areas shall be located at least 100 feet from a 140 residentially zoned property or property in residential use or shall have the written 141 support of all owners of such properties within 100 feet. The proposed facility would 142 be more than 100 feet from the multi - family residential properties to the south and, 143 although it is adjacent to one property in residential use, that property owner has 144 written a letter of support for the proposal. 145 b. Any portion of an outdoor kennel facing an adjacent property shall be screened from 146 view by a solid fence, hedge or similar plant material. This requirement would be 147 enforced as part of the administrative process of permitting the building and other site PF 13 -015-RCA- 102113. doc Page 4 of 6
