266 <br /> C. ChangegAcItkeSonty Permitted Use Table to Permit Breeding Kennels and <br /> Wildlife Rehabilitation Centers <br /> Explanation of Proposed Changes: This amendment would allow breeding kennels <br /> and wildlife rehabilitation centers as permitted uses in all zoned areas of the County <br /> where boarding kennels are now permitted. This is in response to a request by the <br /> Animal Protection Society and also to remove existing inconsistencies between the <br /> County's Zoning Ordinance which does not permit breeding kennels,and the County's <br /> Animal Control Ordinance, which does issue breeding kennel permits. <br /> Town Comments: This proposed amendment seems appropriate and in keeping with <br /> the desire to preserve a rural environment in the Rural Buffer areas of the County. <br /> D. Changes to the Connty.Permitted Use Table Dealing with Retail Trade Categories <br /> • Explanation of Proposed Changes: The County seeks to combine two sections of its <br /> Permitted Use Table, dealing with retail trade, in order to reduce the number of <br /> pagesin the permitted use table. Right now there are two classes of retail trade <br /> establishments -- Retail Trade of Convenience Goods and Retail Trade of Durable <br /> Goods. All of the subcategories of convenience goods retail trade are permitted in <br /> the same districts as the same subcategories of durable goods retail trade, and the <br /> County sees this as needless duplication. The proposed amendment would combine <br /> retail trade of convenience and durable goods into one class instead of two. <br /> Town Comments: .The Town of Carrboro generally supports these ordinance <br /> amendments, unless the County originally intended that convenience goods and <br /> durable goods be classified separately for some reason that is not reported in the. <br /> County's staff report, and still holds that original intent. The original intent will not <br /> be satisfied by combining the two classes of:use. <br /> 3.. Proposed Change to the County Subdivision Ordinance <br /> • <br /> A.
