City Council Staff Report A-99-6 & PD-99-6 January 13, 2000 Page 2 of 5 B. Approve the rezoning of the landlocked property, adjacent to the east of the existing animal hospital, from RS Residential Single -Family District to CC(PD) Community Commercial, Planned Development Overlay District; and C. Approve the development plans (Planned Development) for the construction of an additional building to expand the existing animal hospital. BACKGROUND In January 1997, the City Council approved the rezoning of 14790 Washington Avenue from CC Community Commercial District to CC(PD) Community Commercial, Planned Development Overlay District (A-96-4) and the development of a new pet hospital (PD-96-3). The area behind (east) of the new two-story pet hospital was left undeveloped. Subsequent to the project's approval, the applicant acquired an undeveloped residential property, adjacent to the easterly side of the site. The property is in the center of the block and has no street frontage. The total project site is approximately 33,506 square feet (0.77 acre). DETAILS OF PROPOSAL Rezoning The applicant proposes to rezone the landlocked lot from RS Residential Single -Family District to CC(PD) Community Commercial , Planned Development Overlay District. This would match the existing zoning of the animal hospital site and the base district of the properties fronting Washington Avenue. In addition, the three parcels will be combined into one parcel. Planned Development The proposed building will be constructed on the most northerly portion of the site, east of the existing building and art/frame gallery site and south of the convalescent home's parking lot. The north and westerly walls will be situated on the property line. The easterly side will maintain a 10- foot setback from the property line. The carport for the adjacent residential townhouses to the east abuts the property line. The south side of the new building is approximately 44-feet from the property line. This side of the building faces a two-way driveway that connects the existing parking areas to the proposed parking lot. The new parking lot will be constructed in the parcel that is being considered for rezoning form RS to CC(PD). The existing clinic specializes in emergency veterinarian needs. The proposed facility would provide radiation oncology, nuclear medicine, and diagnostic services. These services will use X- rays for diagnosis and treatment. The ground floor will have a waiting area and receptionist at the entrance. There will be three examination rooms. The center of the floor is dedicated to a treatment area and dog run for holding animals. The north end will have three surgery rooms and an area for sterilization of equipment and instruments.
