BACKGROUND:
On May 3, 2005, the Planning Commission reviewed the request by PetsMart to be able to allowfor a
veterinary office and hospital use in a PD-MC, Planned Development Mixed Commercial district. The
veterinary clinic would occupy up to 2,500 square feet of a 23,000 square foot PetsMart store.
Staff recommended no conditions. The Planning Commission, however, asked staff to provide
conditions to reflect the maximum square footage for the use and the specific buildings the special
use permit applies to, and to make sure no outside runs or kennels occurred.

Rivanna Engineering & Surveying, PLC. and dated December 6, 2004) located at Outparcel H
shall be limited to not more than 2,500 square feet, and
2. There shall be no outside runs or kennels.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of this Special Use Permit with the conditions as
previously noted.

Staff has developed conditions which have been reviewed and approved by the zoning and legal
staff.
