<br /> Kennel (Class 1)
<br /> 134 Staff is suggesting that the definitions for the three types of Industrial uses(Light,Medium,and Heavy)be
<br /> amended as shown. The existing definitions are somewhat ambiguous as"adverse impacts"can be difficult to
<br /> define(and are not defined);for example,is an increase in traffic volume of 20 trips per day"adverse"? Some
<br /> people might contend that it is. Staff believes that the proposed definitions more clearly state the intent of the use
<br /> type and providing examples of the types of uses adds clarity to the definition. The definitions shown in orange text
<br /> were presented at the November 21,2011 quarterly public hearing. At the February 7,2012 BOCC meeting,the
<br /> BOCC directed staff to come back with a revised definition for"Industrial,Medium"to include language regarding
<br /> the expected extent of impacts. The text shown in purple is staffs recommended addition to address the BOCC's
<br /> concern.
