DETERMINING AN ANIMAL GROOMER WITH NO MORE
THAN TEN (10) PERCENT OF THE FLOOR AREA
DEDICATED TO RETAIL SALES AS SIMILAR TO OTHER
PERMITED USES IN THE PROFESSIONAL (P) ZONE.
WHEREAS, Indohammond Ruthla ("Applicant") has filed an application with the City
pursuant to Section 94.01.00 of the Zoning Ordinance for a determination that an
animal groomer with no more than ten (10) percent of the floor area dedicated to retail
sales is similar to other permitted uses in the Professional zone located at 1800 Via
Negocio, Zone P, Section 1; and
WHEREAS, on October 9, 2013, a public meeting on the application was held by the
Planning Commission in accordance with applicable law; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has carefully reviewed and considered all of the
evidence presented in connection with the hearing on the project, including, but not
limited to, the staff report, and all written and oral testimony presented.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Pursuant to the requirements of Section 94.01.01(B), the Planning
Commission finds:
1) That the use is in keeping with the stated intent and purpose of the zone.
Pursuant to Section 92.08.00 of the PSZC, "the 'P' zone is intended to provide
for the development of a professional district with necessary related retail
commercial uses and other compatible facilities." An animal groomer can be
considered a professional having repeat clientele requiring a highly trusted and
trained staff. Animal groomers offer personal services to customers which can
be beneficial to a wide range of clientele and provided a benefit to the overall
community.
2) That field investigations have disclosed that the subject use and its operation are
compatible with the uses permitted in the zone wherein it is proposed to be
located.
An animal groomer use in the Professional zone is compatible with other
permitted personal services such as an art supply store, florist shop, medical
equipment supply store, and pharmacy. The building at 1800 Via Negocio is a
professional office building divided into seven suites able to accommodate retail /

offices and other similar uses. Any accessory retail use shall remain incidental
to the animal groomer business with retail sales area occupying no more than
ten (10) percent of the floor area.
3) That the subject use is similar to one (1) or more uses permitted in the zone
within which it is proposed to be located.
Permitted uses including an art supply store, florist shop, medical equipment
supply store, and pharmacy Pursuant to Section 92.0$.01(A)(5,6,10,15) of the
PSZC, are similar permitted personal service uses to an animal groomer.
4) That the subject use will not cause substantial injury to the values of property in
the zone within which it is proposed to be located.
There are no known evidences or proofs to conclude that the proposed use is
likely to cause substantial injury to values of property in the "P" zone.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the Planning
Commission hereby approves Case No. 10.476 Determination.
ADOPTED this 9th day of October, 2013.
