Title
Dog Sitting Business in Single Family Neighborhoods (B)
This item seeks City Commission approval to remove Community Development Committee referral # 100057, Dog Sitting Business in Single Family Neighborhoods, from the Committee's pending referral list.
Explanation
At its November 22nd regular meeting, the Community Development Committee heard an update on this referral from staff. This included a recounting of the case as heard by the Board of Adjustment on November 2nd regarding an appeal of a staff administrative decision.
Staff's administrative decision was that the use, a dog sitting business, had never been legally established and therefore could not be considered a legally non-conforming use as claimed by the Petitioner's agent.
The Board of Adjustment decided the appeal of staff's administrative decision in favor of the Petitioner with two additional conditions
1. That the sitting portion of the business cannot be a business (no money can change hands) and;
2. That he can allow pets other than his own to be sat in his home
The Board of Adjustment voted 3 to 2 in support of the motion
Fiscal Note
No fiscal impact.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) remove Community Development Committee pending referral #100057, Dog Sitting Business in Single Family Neighborhoods, from the Committee's pending referral list.
