Document Description
A Conditional Use Permit to relocate a veterinarian animal hospital within two existing office buildings
on approximately 0.82 acres located in the Business Professional (BP) zone. Existing Building B, at
approximately 5,941 square feet, will be used for medical procedures, while Existing Building A, at
approximately 3,384 square feet, will be used for staff office space. The request also includes a Special
Development Permit to deviate from setbacks related to the trash enclosure and Design Review for
compliance with the Countywide Design Guidelines.
The project proposes interior modifications to the building. No exterior modifications are proposed, with
the following exceptions:
? Updated landscaping: A redwood tree on Marigold Lane will be retained, as will Chinese
Pistache trees and a Persimmon tree located in the southeast portion of the parcel. Non-native
trees and shrubbery, particular those in poor health, will be removed and/or replaced. All
Oldeaner shrubs, which are poisonous to pets, will be removed.
? Installation of a comfort and serenity garden surrounding Existing Building B. The serenity
garden will include the installation of an 8-foot tall masonry wall with lockable gates along the
southern property line adjacent to multi-family residential.
? The installation of a 6-foot tall masonry wall with gate enclosing the site’s existing trash container.
The office buildings have been located on the site for over 20 years, have been occupied by various
uses, have ample parking, and the overall building capacity would not be increased or intensified.
