HEARING REQUIRED: Public
SUMMARY:
The City has received a request from Dr. Laura Hall of East Hill Animal Hospital for an amendment to the Land Development Code Section 12-2-10(C)(4)(b) Historic and Preservation Land Use District Old East Hill Preservation Zoning District; Uses Permitted; OEHC-1 Neighborhood Commercial District. More specifically, Dr. Hall is requesting that the use of animal hospitals, veterinary clinics and pet resorts no longer require Conditional Use Permit approved and instead become a permitted use by right. In addition, Dr. Hall is requesting that this use be permitted with the stipulation that kennels must be fully enclosed, outside runs are not permitted but exercise areas are permitted. Dr. Hall recently appeared before the Special Magistrate for a code violation of having exercise areas in the OEHC-1 zoning district. The Special Magistrate gave Dr. Hall one year to resolve the issue. Dr. Hall is requesting this amendment in order to bring her property at 805 E. Gadsden Street into compliance.
On April 10, 2018, the Planning Board recommended approval of this amendment by a 4-1 vote with the stipulation that outside exercise areas must be supervised and limited to five (5) or fewer animals at one time.
City Council conducted the first of two required public hearings on June 14, 2018. The second public hearing for this item is scheduled to be held on July 19, 2018.
