AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Public hearing and consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for the
use only to permit an animal care facility on a C-1 zoned tract located at 111 Rock Prairie Road.
(99-705)
Senior Planner McCully pr•~sented the Staff Report. She explained that the request was to allow tf~e
applicant to pursue the development of animal boarding associated with a proposed veterinary clinic
adjacent to the future Texaco service station that will be located at the Rock Prairie Road/Wellborn
Road intersection. The proposed veterinary clinic is a permitted use in the C-1 zoning district and is
therefore not subject for the Commission's Review, although the kennel does require approval from the
Commission because it is listed as a conditional use in this district. She pointed out that the ~"submitted
conceptual plan shows the kennel addition in the rear of the building, roughly 100 feet from the rear
property line. The plan also shows an exercise area for the animals to be located between the building
and a 'l5-foot buffer zone that has been reflected on the site plan.
Section 14 of the Zoning Ordinance authorizes the existence of conditional uses. The Commission may
permit a conditional use subject to appropriate conditions and safeguards, when after public notice and
hearing the Commission finds that: (Staff comments are in italics)
1. "The proposed use meets all the minimum standards established in the~ordinat~ce for the type of
use proposed." This use meets all of the minimum ordinaNce requirements.
2. "That the proposed use meets the purpose and intent of the ordinance and is in harmony with the
development policies and goals and objectives as embodied in the Comprehensive Plan for Development
of the City." This use is not in conflict with the Land Use Plan.
3. "That the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety of the
surrounding neighborhood or its occupants, nor be substantially or permanently injurious to neighboring
property." The public hearing is an opportunity for the Commission to measure the potential impact
on surrounding land uses.
"The Commission may impose additional reasonable restrictions or conditions to carry out the spirit and
intent of the ordinance and to mitigate adverse effects of the proposed use. These requirements :gay
include, but are not limited to, increased open space, loading and parking requirements, additional
landscaping, and additional improvements such as curbing, sidewalks and screening."
Unless the public hearing brings to light any new information indicating potential negative impacts,
Staff recommends approval with compliance with the concept plan and the buffering as conditions.
The Commission expressed their concern with noise from the kennel being a burden to the residents
backing up to the facility. They were interested in pursuing additional buffers to avoid a problem. Ms.
McCully explained that the Edelweiss Master Development Plan required additional landscaping, but the
specific plant requirements had not been chosen. She explained that the buffer area was also undefineJ
at this time.
