Request for a proposed Animal Services, Boarding & Day Care facility for the existing 9,750 square foot building located at 14033 Southwest Freeway, Suite 705. The site is located in the Sugar Creek commercial retail center at the northeast corner of US 59 Southwest Fwy and South Parkway Boulevard. The property was annexed in 1984 and subsequently zoned as B-2, General Business, which requires a CUP for Animal Services, Boarding & Day Care. The existing building has been most recently used as a watch and jewelry store and was developed as part of a larger retail center. The site will utilize excess parking to build the outdoor pet area and has a shared parking agreement with the overall shopping center that meets minimum parking requirements for the entire site. This commercial retail center is also zoned as B-2, General Business, with medium to high intensity uses with which Animal Services, Boarding & Day Care use is compatible.
 
This property is identified in the Future Land Use Plan as a “Neighborhood Activity Center.” This category is meant to serve as small commercial centers that act as a “main street” for nearby neighborhoods and are mixed-used and walkable. Neighborhood Activity Centers can include retail, office space for small companies and professionals, and compact forms of residential. Although the land use, location, and development are all proposed to be codified, the brand of K9 Resort is not part of codification. In the future, if a different Animal Services, Boarding/Day Care would like to move in, that use would be allowed if all approved CUP conditions are being met. 

Planning & Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing on January 26, 2023, at which no speakers were present. After the close of the public hearing, the Commission held discussion and direction and chose to table Consideration & Action to a subsequent meeting. The discussion revolved primarily around the quality of fencing, the maximum number of animals allowed at one time, waste management, the operational staffing of the business, and noise impacts on neighbors.
