Additional condition that the applicant will work with staff and provide a landscape plan within the area, including grass and other site amenities, to provide “green” screening to screen the residential homes; and to ensure that the traffic visibility triangle addressed in code was accommodated to avoid any blocking, as per code requirements. Ayes: 5 Nays: 2 (Gottfried; Doherty) Motion carried. Chair Bakeman advised that the Case was scheduled to be heard by the City Council at their January 14, 2008 meeting. b. PLANNING FILE 07-063 Request by Faegre and Benson (on behalf of PetSmart) for a ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT relating to pet boarding and CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT allowing pet boarding. Chair Bakeman opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 07-063. Mr. Paschke reviewed the request of Faegre and Benson, on behalf of PetSmart, seeking approval of a TEXT AMENDMENT to Sections 1002 and 1005 of Roseville City Code, pertaining to dog kennels and boarding of animals; and an AMENDMENT to PetSmart’s CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP) to allow the boarding of cats and dogs at their proposed site in Rosedale Commons, 2480 Fairview Avenue. Mr. Paschke reviewed the text amendment requested, specific to dog kennels and how the City should regulate them, along with provisions for doggie day camp or daycare, or boarding of cats and dogs. Mr. Paschke noted that this site was the former CompUSA site, and had been heard at the Planning Commission level several months ago, with there being a lack of clarity by the Community Development Department of the nature and magnitude of the original request. Mr. Paschke noted that since that original request, the City Planner and City Attorney had worked with legal counsel representatives of Faegre and Benson; with the outcome represented in this request for text amendment defining “Dog Kennel” and Conditional Use Permit application and accessory use provisions. Mr. Paschke clarified that the Text Amendment was sought for Section 1002 (Definitions) pertaining to Dog Kennels and Section 1005 (Use Table) allowing pet boarding as an accessory use in a Pet and Pet Supply Store; and that the applicant further seeks amendment to their previously-approved CUP to support the boarding of up to 108 dogs, 15 cats and a doggie day camp/daycare facility capable of accommodating up to 70 dogs. Mr. Paschke advised that staff recommended approval of a ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT to Section 1002 and 1005 of the Roseville City Code; and an AMENDMENT to the PetSmart CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT to allow the pet boarding and doggie daycare within the PetSmart facility at Rosedale Commons Shopping Center, 2480 Fairview Avenue; based on the findings outlined in Section 6, and the conditions detailed in Section 7 of the project report dated December 5, 2007. Mr. Paschke advised that staff had originally been concerned with potential noise issues; however, after discussion, and understanding the proposed construction and current code and ordinance enforcement with this use, staff was confident that there would be no impact on the adjacent residential area to the north of this site. Mr. Paschke requested several modifications since preparation of the staff report: Condition A: where language indicates “dogs/cats,” it would represent 108 dog KENNELS and 15 cat KENNELS;
