Action Requested
Recommend,by motion, approval of the ordinance amendment.
Background/Discussion
Commercial kennels were allowed in the C3 district (Section 30-1024), as a conditional use,with an ordinance
amendment (OA 17-11) in late 2017. During a comprehensive ordinance amendment for all commercial and
industrial zoning districts (OA 18-03) in early 2018, commercial kennels were inadvertently not included in the
conditional use portion of the C3 zoning district. When staff downloaded the C3 language from MuniCode (online
code of ordinances) to work on the 2018 amendment, the 2017 language had not yet been updated on MuniCode,
so the recently added commercial kennel allowance was missed.
This proposed amendment is allowing commercial kennels as conditional use in the C3 district.
