Need for a Use-By-Exception
Section 24-111(c)(2) specifically lists veterinary clinic as a use within the Commercial General zoning district that requires a use-by-exception.
Analysis
Intensity of Use, Traffic Impacts and Compatibility
Location in existing shopping center that has a history of varied uses where there is ample paved parking and established traffic patterns.
Veterinary Clinics produce no more traffic than certain allowed by right uses at this location.
The location is adjacent to other commercial uses with the exception of some multi-family across the street to the north east.
4
Concerns
Noise
Dogs barking, etc.
Design that limits impacts on neighbors within the shopping center.
Nearest multi-family use is over 100 feet away and the nearest single-family use is over 250 feet away. Both are separated by a minor collector street.
Cleanliness
Pet waste outside of the clinic.
Installation of pet waste stations will allow for responsible clean up.
Installation of an outside hose will allow hard surfaces to be washed.
5
Possible Conditions
Require a pet waste station to be located within adjacent landscaped areas to be maintained by the clinic.
Require sound insulation to be installed between the clinic and adjoining tenants of the strip center.
