Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />September 10, 2020 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br /> <br />Before staff begins their presentation, Zuccaro verifies that this application’s public <br />notice requirements have been met. They were mailed to the surrounding property <br />owners on July 24, 2020, published in the Boulder Daily Camera on July 26, 2020, and <br />the property was posted on July 24, 2020. <br /> <br />Zuccaro discusses the property’s location and background history. <br /> <br />He reviews the PUD and SRU proposal which is as follows: <br /> PUD <br />• Building is 8,700 sq. ft. <br />• Shared access drive <br />• Storm water detention on the south side of property <br />• Providing 26 parking spaces <br /> SRU <br />• Pet care business <br />• Outdoor play area <br />• Odor and noise management <br />He concludes with the applicant’s waiver request. The request is as follows: <br />• Requesting to not plant required trees along the south property boundary due to <br />the detention pond. This will be offset by exceeding 25% of the minimum <br />landscape area standard (they are providing 34%) and by providing additional <br />planting on east side of the lot <br /> <br />Staff Recommendations: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 11, Series 2020, recommending to the City <br />Council approval of the PUD and SRU for a pet care facility at 578 South Pierce Ave. <br /> <br />Commissioner Questions of Staff: <br />Moline asks that when the access is on a neighboring property, does the city require <br />the applicant to produce an easement that shows that they have gotten the legal right to <br />use that land in order to access the property? <br /> <br />Zuccaro says yes, that would be the city’s standard procedure, and there is an <br />easement in this case. <br /> <br />Moline asks if there is a reason from the city’s perspective that we would not allow <br />plants in the detention pond. <br /> <br />Zuccaro says that we do allow certain types of plants in the detention pond. <br /> <br />Diehl asks about the parking in relation to the number of kennels or pets the facility can <br />handle. On Pierce Ave, if all the spaces were full, is there an opportunity for overflow <br />parking in the street? <br /> <br />Zuccaro says from the city’s standpoint, these are public streets and parking is allowed <br />on those streets; however, that is not consistent with the owner’s association. They do <br />not promote parking on the streets and prefer that they do not rely on those public
