The applicant proposes to rezone the property from POD to
PD-C to utilize the property as a dog kennel that will
contain a day care, boarding, grooming and training
facility. The subject property is located within the Highway
10 Design Overlay District (DOD).
The site is undeveloped and wooded. Properties
surrounding the site contain a mixture of zoning and uses.
Access to the site is provided by a twenty-six (26) foot wide
driveway apron extending north from Cantrell Road. The
development will share existing access easements with
properties to the east of subject property (Lots 2A, 3A &
3B).

The site plan shows a front building setback over one
hundred (100) feet from the front property line, thirty (30)
feet from side property lines and fifty (50) feet from the rear
property line.
The developer will construct a 10,850 square foot building
in the center portion of the property that will contain a
50'x25' foot canopy at the entrance of the building, a ten
(10) wide, covered wraparound patio along the sides and
rear of the building, and outdoor play areas along the sides
and rear of the building.
The interior of the building will provide a climate -
controlled day camp, boarding, grooming, office and
modular fencing. Outdoor amenities will include an open
yard/park area along the west side of the building,
extending to the parking area. The site plan shows the
outdoor pet and open yard/park areas will contain perimeter
fencing.

follows "silent day camp" practices to mitigate noise. Dogs
that may bark excessively will be allowed time to acclimate
inside the building.
