DATE 10-18-17
COMMISSION ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS TO ALLOW THE USE OF DOG
GROOMING WITHIN VILLAGE ZONING
BACKGROUND:
The City Council referred a request to allow for Dog Grooming within the Somerset
commercial area. Somerset is subject to the Village Zoning District standards and
allowed uses. Somerset is intended to provide for office, retail and service uses, but in a
more selective manner than larger scale commercial areas. Animal Grooming Salons is
a listed use in Article V of the Zoning Ordinance as a Retail Personal, Business and
Repair Services and is not included by reference as a permitted use within Village
zoning.
The proposed Amendment would add Animal Grooming Salon to the allowable uses
within the Village Zoning district for a Commercial Shop Front building. Similar uses for
pets and services are already permitted within the zoning district Small animal
veterinarian services and indoor kennels were added as a permitted use in 2011.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Planning & Zoning Commission can recommend that the City Council adopt the
proposed amendments to permit Animal Groom Salon as a permitted use in Village
Zoning District.
2. The Planning & Zoning Commission can recommend the City Council decline to
adopt the proposed amendments.
3. The Planning & Zoning Commission can recommend alternative language for the
proposed amendments.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The proposed change is minor in scope and will allow for a use that is consistent with
the intent of Village Zoning to provide for neighborhood scale and convenience
commercial uses.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Department of Planning and Housing
that the Planning and Zoning Commission act in accordance with Alternative#1.
