The subject site has operated as a horse training and selling facility for the <br /> past 20 years and is considered a commercial stable under the zoning ordinance. <br /> The issue to be discussed is whether commercial stables should be allowed more animal units <br /> than standard rural zoning district uses.

Staff provides the following information regarding current ordinances and proposed <br /> amendments regarding animal units and commercial stables. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> The City Zoning Ordinance establishes definitions, performance standards and zoning district <br /> uses for Animal Units, Commercial Kennels, and Commercial Stables. <br /> Per Section 1007.001 Rules and Definitions: <br /> ANIMAL UNIT.
