The property is zoned C-2, THOROUGHFARE COMMERCIAL and contains approximately 1.94 acres. The request is for a 6,250 s.f. dog grooming/dog day care facility and associated parking. Andrew Garner, Senior Planner, gave the staff report for the lot split and large scale development. He described the request to subdivide the property into two parcels and develop one of the parcels for a full care animal service facility. Staff discussed variance requests to allow for a metal building and chain-link fence within the I-540 Design Overlay District. Staff recommended in favor of the variances with conditions for additional screening on the outside of the fence, as described in detail in the staff report. Staff recommended approval of the lot split and forwarding the large scale development to the full Planning Commission. Steve Clark (applicant) discussed the proposed development and the business. He agreed with staff's recommendation on the lot split. He passed out photos of the site and surrounding property and discussed screening. He described the natural buffering on surrounding properties and discussed that they would be willing to plant and fill in gaps where there was not adequate vegetation. No public comment was received. Commissioner Winston asked about the Value Place Hotel and the undeveloped property to the north, was it a preservation area? Garner responded that he was not sure if it was a tree preservation area or not but that he would check and get an answer prior to the Planning Commission meeting. His understanding at this point was that it was developable property. Commissioner Winston as if the screening and fence could be delayed until such as time as the surrounding property was developed. Jeremy Pate, Director of Development Services, responded that now was the time for screening. There was not way to enforce construction of a fence or screening at a later date. He also discussed that the property owner/developer is required to screen their own property. That is the only relief for neighbors in the future. Commissioner Trumbo discussed that he was okay with condition of approval No. 1. On the condition of approval for the architectural design he agreed with staff and the compromise that the unarticulated wall surface could be offset with vegetative plantings. He agreed with all of staff's recommendations. 3 Subdivision Committee October 1, 2009 Page 4 of 5 Commissioner Winston asked about several of the trees including trees #1, #16, and those along the west property line. Clark (applicant) responded that the sidewalk from the building to the street and other grading will likely impact #1, and that #16 was in bad shape and the storm sewer in that area will likely require removal of the tree. He also discussed that the trees on the west property line are mainly scrub trees and are not counted for this development. Commissioner Winston asked about solid waste service. Clark (applicant) responded that after talking to Brian Pugh (City Solid Waste Coordinator) that they will need to provide some sort of commercial trash service and the plans submitted for planning commission will show that location. Motion: Commissioner Kennedy made a motion to approve LSP 09-3387 (Barking Bed and Breakfast) with conditions, as recommended by staff. Commissioner Trumbo seconded the motion.
