• Planning & Zoning Board June 12, 2002 Walton CUP i.) Will conform to specific standards of this ordinance applicable to the particular use. City Ordinance states that "the applicable provisions of Section 500 of the City Code relating to the keeping of animals are determined to be satisfied" Animals and the conditions in which they are kept will conform to City Ordinance. In addition, the Walton animals are routinely (annually) inspected byUSDA/APHIS, as licensing requirements for a petting zoo are the same as those for any other zoo. CONCLUSION Use of the site for a petting zoo /farm visit site appears to conform to the general guidelines outlined for a Conditional Use for a Rural zone under the Lino Lakes City Ordinance, and staff would recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit, with conditions. As various fire and building code issues come into play depending on how the site is • used, staff would recommend the following conditions: 1.) All parking must be contained on site. The driveway should be widened to 24 feet to better accommodate visitor traffic. Parking surfaces should be rocked; any paved/impervious parking surfaces will require submission and approval of a grading plan to the City Engineer. 2.) Any indoor assembly areas must conform to applicable fire and building code; if visitors to the site enter the barn area, it will have to be sprinkled. OPTIONS 1.) Recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit, with conditions. 2.) Recommend denial of the Conditional Use Permit. 3.) Return to staff with direction. RECOMMENDATION Option #1.
