dogs, bringing the total to seven. Upon inspecting the property as part of the application, staff found the property to be in compliance with the International Property Maintenance Code, and all areas of the house were found to be clean and well -kept. The four dogs each have their own kennels inside the residence, and there is adequate room for the Applicant to add more kennels as needed. The residence also has separate rooms for breeding, bathing, and marketing the dogs. The accessory structure, which was constructed by a previous owner to function as a children's playhouse, was converted to a four -season doghouse with a bed, electricity, heat, and air conditioning. Staffs only point of concern was a weak spot in the fence around the backyard, which the Applicant plans to fix by reinforcing the fence with additional materials. The Applicant intends to own the three additional dogs, and does not currently have plans to start a commercial pet boarding operation. If the Applicant were to pursue pet boarding on the property, a new or amended Conditional Use Permit would be required to accommodate that use. Staff has communicated this point to the Applicant. Public Correspondence At the time of writing this case, Staff has not received any comments or questions about the request. Alternatives Alternative 1: Approve the Conditional Use Permit with conditions attached to the resolution. The use aligns with Chapter 10 standards for keeping of dogs, and Zoning Code standards for conditional use permits. Alternative 2: Approve the Conditional Use Permit with additional requirements, based on certain findings. Alternative 3: Deny the Conditional Use Permit based on certain findings. The Applicant's business has operated at the Subject Property for more than one year without generating complaints regarding the business. Funding Source: All costs associated with this request are the Applicant's responsibility. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Resolution #23-293, Approving a Conditional Use Permit for a Commercial Dog Kennel for a Commercial Dog Breeder at 15110 Uranimite St NW. Outcome/Action: Motion to recommend the City Council adopts Resolution #23-293, Approving a Conditional Use Permit for a Commercial Dog Kennel for a Commercial Dog Breeder at 15110 Uranimite St NW.
