May 17, 2018, the application was presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission. 8. 6:40PM - (#18-00191) Conditional Use Permit for Dog Grooming business in a Mixed Use zone — 107 N Center — Jo Ann Hope Roll Call of Planning and Zoning Commissioners: Steve Oakey, Kristi Anderson, Heidi Christensen, Melanie Davenport, Bruce Sutherland, Greg Blacker, Gil Shirley Natalie Powell, City of Rexburg, presented the application on behalf of the applicant. She oriented the Planning & Zoning Commission to the property. Jo Ann's current business has grown out of the location shared with a dry-cleaner. We would like to keep her in Rexburg in the downtown area. 107 N Center is across the street from the library. Staff has worked with the applicant on the traffic and parking. The shed would be removed, creating extra parking. They would like to put in a one-way drive, which will be signed. They will do a curb -side pick-up. The other concern is the noise level. The basement has been sound -proofed, a holding area, where the dogs will be kept to wait for grooming. A Conditional Use Permit is required by the zoning. Steve Oakey asked if dogs would be kept overnight. There will be no overnighters, only during the day. Will the nuisance be more than residential? Natalie answered, the dogs will probably be less of a nuisance, because the dogs will not be kept outside. This way, she will have them inside the building. Melanie Davenport asked about the handicap access and parking space? Kristi Anderson asked if additional screening will be needed. The house to the North is close. Landscaping is required to buffer a residential business from residential homes. The conformity happens when the use changes from residential to a business. Chairman Heidi Christensen asked if any members of the audience had clarification questions about this proposal. Chairman Heidi Christensen opened the public hearing at 6:55PM. In Favor: Bron Leatham — 1272 N Yellowstone Hwy. He currently owns the property. He is selling it for this purpose. This is the intent behind Mixed -Use zoning. Older homes on smaller parcels economically doesn't work. If you could do single -student housing, this would work, but this is in the wrong location. These are ideal homes for a business to maintain the properties. $60,000 has already been put in the home to update it. Neutral: None Opposed: None Written Input: None Chairman Heidi Christensen closed the public input portion 6:59PM. Greg Blacker is in favor of this proposal. Melanie supports the application, because it is grooming, not boarding. Gil Shirley says there are not many businesses in this area, but it seems like a good fit for this area.
