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 received one written comment stating opposition to the request. A copy of the written comment is attached to this case. Staff notes that the Police Department has not received any barking dog complaints on the property. Alternatives to Consider Alternative 1: Approve the Conditional Use Permit with conditions attached to the resolution as recommended by the Planning Commission. Alternative 2: Approve the Conditional Use Permit with additional requirements. Alternative 3: Deny the Conditional Use Permit based on certain findings. Funding Source: All costs associated with this request are the Applicant's responsibility. Recommendation: At the Planning Commission meeting on November 30,2023, the Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Outcome/Action: Motion to adopt Resolution#23-293, Approving a Conditional Use Permit for a Commercial Dog Kennel for a Commercial Dog Breeder at 15110 Uranimite St NW.
