Re:
Pre-Application for Doggie Daycare Center
File No.: PRE2002-00026
191 Kennedy A venue
Dear Ms. Jackson:
Thank you for your preliminary application for the establishment of a Doggie Daycare Center in an
existing building located at 191 Kennedy Avenue. The project site is located in the P-D (Planned
Development) Zoning District and is designated as Medium Density Residential (14-20 units per
gross acre) on the City's General Plan Land Use Map. The proposed project would require
approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission and would be decided upon at a
public hearing.
The Planning Division completed the review of the pre-application and has. the following comments
regarding the proposal:
Neighborhood Compatibility
Staff has reviewed the project description and conducted a site visit of the proposed site. The site is
located on the north side of Kennedy Avenue and is surrounded by industrial uses to the east and
west and residential uses to the north. The project description indicates the business would
accommodate 25-50 dogs daily and would include an outdoor fenced area along the northern side of
the building for a dog restroom. Based on the project description and location of the proposed use,
staff finds that the proposed use would not be a compatible use at this location. .
General Plan Conformance
The current General Plan designation is Medium Density Residential (14-20 units per gross acre)
and the existing industrial uses currently established on site are legal non-conforming uses. Chapter
21.66 of the Campbell Municipal Code stipulates that the non-conforming use of a building or
structure may be changed to a use of the same or more restrictive classification (as determined by
the Community Development Director); but, where the use of the building is changed to a use of
lesser intensity, it shall not thereafter be changed to a use of greater intensity.
The Community Development Director has determined that the establishment of a Doggie Daycare
Center at this location would constitute an intensification of the non-conforming use and is
therefore not allowed.
