TOO 0RA8Td1E8 March 19, 1990 Ms. Michelle Hren City of Mounds view 2401 Highway 10 Mounds View, MN 55112 Dear i.chelle i You've sent ma a copy of the city ordinances regarding a pet store in the 82 zone. You've asked whether a facility which is engaged primarily in training individuals to groom pets would fall under the definition of pet stores for that zoning within the City. I 've read the ordinance which you forwarded to me. It strictly defines a pet store as a structure intended primarily for the sale of small domesticated animals. It appears that grooming . is only allowed as an adjunct to the main purpose of a pet store which is the sale of animals. Since the facility that is proposed is intended primarily for educational purposes as opposed to retail sale of animals it does not appear that that use would be permitted without a conditional use permit within a 82 area. The definition of pet store in our current city ordinances may not be adequate to define the number of permitted activities that we would like to seg pet store owners or other facilities engage in within a 82 area. Since the grooming services are allowed it was my initial opinion that such an educational facility would be permitted within the city until the zoning ordinances ware cha'iged to hopefully include ! .10' a '~ tviciaa . However, after: reading the ordinance that you se;it -.a nm afraid that the party will .nave to request a conditional use permit until the ordinances area in fact changed to allow for educational activities . If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ca" `. me.
