Background/Discussion
Case No. CU 16-23.
The property is zoned R1-a where home occupations for dog grooming require a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP). The applicant seeking the CUP will operate a dog grooming facility in an attached accessory
structure.
Analysis
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan guides the property as Residential with a focus on Rural Residential uses
outside of the Urban Service Area. City ordinances allow home occupations in residential districts. The
use will be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Hours of Operation
The business will be open between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. The maximum number of
people working there at one time will be two.
Signage
The applicant proposes to hang a small metal sign from their mailbox and install a vinyl sign in the front
window. The window sign cannot exceed four square feet per ordinance.
Transportation/ Circulation
The driveway will be used for customer pickup and drop off with no allowance for long-term parking.
There appears to be enough space on the driveway to provide parking for 3-5 standard sized vehicles.
Landscaping
Because all of the adjacent homes are screened from the subject site by natural screening, the applicant
does not propose to install any additional landscaping for screening.
There will be no outdoor storage for this building.

Planning Commission Meeting
During the public hearing, a neighboring property owner was concerned about the possibility of dogs
running loose outside. Staff informed the property owner that Condition #12 states: All customer’s dogs
shall be leashed or kenneled when outside. Condition #11 also states: With the exception of transferring from a vehicle
to the facility, customer’s dogs (or other) shall not be allowed outside. A violation of either of these conditions may
result in the revocation of the CUP authorizing the use.
The applicant has no issues with the recommended conditions.
The Planning Commission had no comments or concerns and unanimously recommended approval of
the request.
Financial Impact
