(Takoda Subdivision) Through recent discussions, the parties (the applicant and Takoda) have agreed to limit the expansion of the dog daycare no further than approximately 370’ west of the eastern property line of Lot 1A. Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 29, Series 2010 with one condition: The proposed doggy daycare may not expand past the existing equipment shelter delineated on the PUD, or approximately 370’ west of the eastern property line of Lot 1A. A note shall be placed on the amended PUD to reflect the condition. Commission Questions of Staff: Russell, O’Connell and Loo stated they had no questions. Lipton questioned why an amendment to the PUD is required instead of a review by the SRU process. McCartney stated the Use Table does not offer the SRU in the PCZD-C zone district. SRU for a kennel is only offered in an Industrial (I) zone district. Lipton asked if the SRU could be included as a condition of approval. McCartney and Russ stated it could probably be a condition of approval. Staff would consult with the City Attorney prior to taking to City Council to confirm the inclusion of the SRU as a condition. Lipton stated he does not want to complicate the issue and would like to hear from the other commissioners. Sheets asked what is the distance from the west edge of the equipment shed to the neighbor.
