Document Description
Request to permit an existing dog kennel, training, and grooming facility on a 1± acre parcel in the General Agriculture (A-2-40) zoning district. The parcel is currently developed with a 1,410 square-foot single-family dwelling, two shade structures, a shed, and a storage container. The proposed kennel building is requesting up to 25 kennel spaces/dogs at any one time. The kennel will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the dogs periodically being let outside the kennel area throughout the day while under supervision up to three times per day and in groups of one to two at a time from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The County has previously issued a Business License for appointment only dog and cat grooming within a 700± square-foot garage. The project proposes to expand the use to a maximum capacity of up to two dogs being groomed simultaneously, and operating hours will be expanded to 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, by appointment only. The kenneling and training aspect of the business will take place in an 1,816± square-foot shade structure/training area and a 724± square-foot shade structure/fenced kennel. Training on-site will consist of free runs to very controlled treadmill sprints for dogs on-site and puppy training for show prospects including basic crate training, leash training, and basic ring manners. The project site is proposed to be enclosed with four-foot-high wrought iron fencing along the front and sides of the property to accommodate an outdoor exercise space for the dogs and a six-foot-high wood fence along the south, west, north, and east side property lines to act as a noise and visual barrier from the adjoining parcels. Access will be taken from County-maintained South Stearns Road, and the project is anticipated to generate a total of three passenger vehicle trips per day. The property was cited by Code Enforcement due to not having the required land use approval to maintain a kennel and animal training facilities.
