Note: Comments that have been addressed are shown below in gray. Comments to remain from prior submittal are in non -bolded regular font. New Comments are in bold. 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). Staff agrees with the Applicant's comment that "Parking requirements, easements, and any agreements will be resolved during site plan review." Zoning has no further comments related to parking. Zoning Review Comments for SP202000005 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. 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' The Applicant has submitted an Application for a Special Exception to allow the siting of the building closer than 200' to a residential lot line. Zoning has no objections based on the narrative submitted with the special exception request. Staff agrees that "the rest of the zoning ordinance remains in effect and should not need to be a requirement for the special use permit." Applicant acknowledges the requirements of the code. 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 soundproof' �t is proposed? Engineering may need to review a certified engineer's report for sound. See proposed condition below. 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. The Applicant has acknowledged this comment. 4. Critical Slopes Waiver Zoning has no objections to this special exception request. 5. Proposed Conditions As Planning has noted, a condition that the development be in general accord with the final conceptual plan is likely needed. There are no proposed outdoor play areas, so time limits on this use are not needed and limits to the business hours are likely not needed, the Applicant has indicated that the use will have normal or typical business hours. Zoning would like to propose a condition similar to the condition approved alongside SP201800022 "Dogtopia:" "Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant must submit information to the satisfaction of the County Engineer and the Zoning Administrator (of their Zoning Review Comments for SP202000005 designemes) that demonstrates the proposed use will not exceed a 65- decibel maximum as measured in any adjacent commercial space in accord with County Code 18- 4.18.04."
