Per City Code Chapter 10 (Animals), parcels between 1.5 <br />and 2.99 acres in size require the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit to maintain horses. The number of <br />allowable horses is prescribed in said ordinance. <br />The request is an allowable use under City Code Section 117-111 (R-1 Residential (Rural Developing)) as <br />a Conditional Use. Conditional Uses are essentially permitted uses that allow the City to review site specific <br />standards and attach reasonable conditions based on the individual site conditions. It should be noted that <br />the City shall approve a Conditional Use unless there is just cause to deny (i.e. the Property would not be <br />able to support the use based on unique conditions. <br />Of note, City Code Chapter 10 (Animals) provides that parcels three (3) acres in size or greater can maintain <br />horses on their parcel without the issuance of a CUP. In this case, the Property is 2.5 acres. <br />At this time, Staff recommends approval of the request, subject to a site visit to verify conditions. The <br />Applicant received a number of letters of support from adjoining neighbors that need to be verified. <br />Specific conditions of approval are included in the attached CUP and fmdings of fact. <br />
