DATE: 11-14-17
COUNCIL 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 will 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 for
small animal veterinarian services and indoor kennels. Adding the proposed use
to Commercial Shop Front building types is consistent with these uses.
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the amendment at its October 18tn
meeting and voted 6-0 in support of the change.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council can adopt on first reading 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.
CITY MANAGER'S 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 City Manager that the City Council act
in accordance with Alternative #1.
