229 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> 411 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: February 2.2„, 1989 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item 10-5-10 <br /> SUBJECT: PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENTS <br /> ARTICLE 22 - DEFINITIONS (KENNEL) <br /> ARTICLE 4.3 - PERMITTED USE TABLE <br /> ARTICLE 8.8.11 - KENNELS (CLASS B SPECIAL USE) <br /> DEPARTMENT: PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING x Yes No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Scearbo <br /> Proposed Amendments <br /> Letter from Animal Protection Society <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Chapel Hill - 967-9251 <br /> 411 PURPOSE: To receive public comment on a proposed amendment to <br /> Zoning Ordinance provisions relating to kennels, in <br /> order to (1) develop consistency between the Zoning <br /> Ordinance and Animal Control Ordinance, and (2) to <br /> include provisions for wildlife rehabilitation. <br /> BACKGROUND: The proposed ordinance amendment incorporates two <br /> separate but related proposals. The amendment is <br /> proposed to: <br /> 1) eliminate inconsistencies between the Animal <br /> Control Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance, and <br /> 2) to expand the definition of kennel to include <br /> provisions for the rehabilitation of wildlife. <br /> The current definition of kennel provides for the <br /> lodging and boarding of domestic pets. There is no <br /> • reference in the ordinance pertaining to breeding of <br /> animals. Because land uses not expressly permitted by <br /> the Zoning Ordinance are prohibited, the effect of the <br /> Ordinance is to prohibit breeding kennels in the zoned <br /> townships. The Planning Department believes that this <br /> was not an intent when the ordinance was adopted. <br /> 410 <br />
