The proposed Conditional Use Permit Amendment would not further impact the public health, safety, morals, convenience or general welfare of the occupants of surrounding lands. 2.

Utility and school capacities are not impacted by the animal boarding use, either existing or as proposed. 4. The proposed amendment will not seriously depreciate surrounding property values since any possibility of such serious depreciation is fully mitigated by inside boarding and board on board fencing of the facility that will house the increased capacity. 5.
