No more than one (1) <br />animal unit per two (2) acres.” The property owner could have 12.5 animal units for personal <br />use without a conditional use permit assuming all other regulatory agency requirements can be <br />met. <br /> <br />A conditional use permit for commercial stables is required because of the horse riding club <br />and horse boarding being operated on site. With the approved 2020 conditional use permit, a <br />maximum of 12.5 animal units are allowed on the three (3) parcels combined without a facility <br />management and waste handling plan. <br /> <br />With the approved 2020 conditional use permit, Section 1007.058(3)(d) allows up to double the <br />animal unit density with an approved facility management and waste handling plan. This <br />would allow for a maximum of 25.0 animal units on the three (3) parcels combined. <br /> <br />Section 1007.058 Commercial Stables (3)(c) allows for adjacent parcels of land under common <br />ownership to be used to determine maximum number of animal units allowed, if the parcels are <br />operated as single enterprise. This is why all three (3) parcel acreages of the Subject Site are <br />being used to calculate total number of animal units. The commercial stables operate on the <br />Property (PID # -0003 and -0005). <br /> <br />It is important to note that while commercial stables are usually associated with horses, the <br />property owner may have other farm animals such as cows, chickens, goats etc. as long as the <br />total number of animal units do not exceed the approved amount. During the 2020 CUP <br />application process, Mr. Stowe stated the following types and numbers of farm animals were on <br />the Subject Site: <br /> <br />Animal # of Animals Animal Unit Total # Animal <br />Units <br />Cow (500 pounds) 4 0.5 2 <br />Horse 20 1.0 20
