Subject: Initial Comments for SP202000005 Ivy Proper
The following comments are provided as input from the Zoning Division regarding the above
noted application(s).
1. Parking
In accordance with Section 4.12.6 of the Zoning Ordinance and shown on sheet C0.0 of the
Ivy Proper Special Use Permit Conceptual Plan there is a total parking requirement of 34
spaces for this site given the square footages provided.
There is a discrepancy between the amount of parking provided on sheet C0.0 and shown
on sheet C4.0. C0.0 indicates that 32 spaces have been provided (short of the requirement)
and sheet C4.0 that shows that there are 34 spaces.
Seven (7) of the parking spaces on the eastern most portion of the site are across parcel
lines. All parking should be provided on site except as authorized by Section 4.12.8.
If a shared parking agreement between neighboring parcels is needed, please provide
evidence of the agreement and/or any easements. If a reduction of the parking requirement
outlined in 4.12.8 is needed or requested by the applicant, please submit a parking study as
described in Section 4.12.2 (c).
2. Special Regulations
The applicant has acknowledged they are aware of the regulations outlined in Section
5.1.11 that apply to commercial kennels, veterinary services, offices or hospitals, animal
hospitals, and animal shelters.
Zoning Review Comments for SP202000005
Since the proposal is within 500' and 200' of a kennel the applicant needs to submit
evidence that they are meeting the intent of both 5.1.11(a) and (b). The applicant may need
an exception to 5.1.11(b).
Zoning recommends a condition of approval to ensure 5.1.11(c).
Additionally, Zoning would like more information about the common practices of the
proposed kennel. Will there be any outdoor activity? What are typical drop offs and pick ups
like? How significant is the soundproofing that is proposed? Engineering may need to review
a certified engineer's report for sound.
3. Other Comments
As noted in Tim Padalino's Pre-App notes dated 11/8/2019 the primary use of a
veterinarian's office would not need an additional special use permit related to water
consumption as outlined in Section 22.2.2.11, but any potential additional uses of the
property by right would require an approved special use permit , unless it can be positively
demonstrated that the use will consume less than 400 gallons per day.
