Conditional Use Permit The applicant has •applied for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a dog day care /kennel operation on property zoned 1-1, Light Industrial. The site fronts on South Owasso Boulevard and Country Drive, both collector- status roadways. The applicant would occupy the west portion of an existing multi- tenant industrial building, with parking in the front of the building. The building itself is approximately 9,000 square feet in floor area, and has 24 parking spaces — about one space per 350 square feet of area. This is a common industrial standard. The applicant suggests that there would be capacity in this facility for up to 40 animals, suggesting that daily drop -off and pick -up periods may be busy. The site itself includes industrial uses to the north, east, and south. However, the west property boundary abuts the North Star Mobile Home Park — a residential area which is zoned Industrial. The closest mobile home appears to be about90 feet from the edge of the subject property: The language of the proposed code amendment suggests that setbacks should be measured from residentially zoned property, however, this could be an issue for mobile home parks which do not carry residential zoning designations. The applicant has indicated that he will contain animals in the side and rear portions of the property, within a. fence to be constructed for that <purpose. If a CUP is to be considered, the applicant will be required rtoverify that he can comply with the fencing sanitation requirements of the City's code amendment as adopted. The applicant indicates in his submission that he will be occupying half of the existing building, a space estimated to be approximately 4,500 square feet. At 40 animals, he would easily comply with the standards of the proposed code. 9
