Attitude of Property Owners: Eighteen (18) property owners within 300 feet of the
subject properties were notified of the rezoning request. The Planning
Department has received seven (8) calls in support of the case. They all have
great comments about the store, the service, etc. Another two call were
inquiring about the proposed uses and the possible impact.
Additional Information: The purpose of this rezoning request is to allow for pet day care
and boarding at this location. According the Table 3.1.1. of the UDO, grooming
(personal services) is allowed in NC and GC as well as a barber shop (which is
next door). Boarding and pet day care is not allowed under the existing zoning
classification; therefore, rezoning is needed to include those uses.
