To: Roseville Planning Commission From: William E. Graham, DVM and Wendy J. Elert, DVM Re: Amendment of Veterinary Services to B-1 zoning category . As two small animal Veterinarians we wish to purchase property located at 1901 Lexington Ave. in Roseville. Currently, this land site is zoned B-l. Roseville Business District Code ordinances place Animal Hospitals in a B-3 zone. However, all Medical and Dental offices, clinics and hospitals are categorized B-1. Other animal oriented businesses are also included in B-l. For example, dog kennels (Ord. 652,6-21-71) are allowed with a conditional use. We request amending the zoning code to include Animal Hospitals and Clinics a B-1 zoning status. Other municipalities such as Falcon Heights and Lauderdale place zoning of animal clinics in the same category as medical and dental services. (Falcon Heights: B-2 Subdivision 3. conditional use with no animal boardingi, Lauderdale: B-1 Community Business). We do not plan on boarding animals nor seeing any after hOtlts cases. Business hours, like other medical services, are planned to be standard daytime business hours. (e.g. Sam -6pm, Mon. -Fri.) We recommend the following changes to the Business District Code: 1) A new B-1 code for any Veterinary Hospitals or clinics that do no boarding and see no after hours cases. and, 2) lv1aintenance of a B-3 code for any animal facih1:ies planning on boarding animals and/ or any hospitals seeing after hours cases. " We woUld very much like to purchase the 1901 Lexington property for use as a full service Veterinary Clinic. As you can see however, problems with the zoning code precludes our ambition. Your consideration in amending the Roseville Business Code to suit our purposes is very much appreciated. Si~.IY, ...//_____ V~ . e./~ ur/1 ~~-4.~~-r-, 't>v'f4 WilIiam<..E:draham, DVM Wendy J.
