i. . f1�aCRannolds CUP April 21, 1999 Page 4 The use will not create an excessive burden on eXisting parks, schaols, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. Do� owr�ership, in and of itself, should not inzpose any burden to public facilities 2. The use wili be suiiicientiy compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of'vacant land. The subject property's yard is fenced i��, providing an adeq�ate separation from adjoining properties, The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. There are no plans to cor�struct any type of st�•ucture in conjunct`ion with this application, Ms. MacRannolds has indicated Po staff that the dogs she has are "indoor " dogs. 4. The use is reasonabiy related to the overall needs of the City and to ihe existing land use. Dog ownershrp is a common feature in residential developrraents, yet in ie�ms of satrsfying a need of the City, this criteria does not readily apply. 5. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoz�ing district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. The zvning code allows for dog ownership by right so long cas the�e are two or fewer dogs on the premises. Owning th�ee of• four dogs is allowed as a conditional use. 6. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Dog ownership is not addressed in the comprehensive plan, yet can be considered to be not inconsistent with the plan. 7. The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion. Thrs cYiteria may apply in th� �vent that the dogs got free and Yan loose and caused a traffic mishap. 8. Adequate utiiities, access a°o�.ds, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided. This ct•iteria probably does noP apply in this case cas dog ownership typically does not create Phe need foY additzonal facilities. , . ;
