Attachment 4 <br />Because the UDO has been amended since these comments were made, referenced sections may be slightly off as some portions of the UDO have been <br />renumbered. <br />20 <br />Implementation Bridge - Future Phase Suggestions Planning Staff Comment <br />79. <br />Mention Water and Sewer Management and Planning Boundary <br />Agreement. Any system should be designed, planned, constructed <br />and maintained by the responsible entity as assigned through the <br />Agreement -- Section 7.13.4 (C) (1) (b) <br />80. <br />[Staff note: the comments in sage-colored boxes were made by <br />Animal Services staff] As I suspect you know, the <br />County’s Animal Control Ordinance includes kennel definitions and <br />a permitting process for Class I and Class II Kennels. The County’s <br />Zoning Ordinance also includes kennel definitions and process for <br />a kennel (or stable) to obtain a special use permit (which requires <br />one or possibly both of the permits issued Animal Control). <br />Planning staff believes the processes have been 'better coordinated' with <br />the approval of a UDO text amendment package in January of 2012. A <br />kennel is now a separate land use category from a stable. <br />81.There is a need to better coordinate (and dare I say, unify) these <br />ordinances. Some of the issues in regard to kennels include: <br />Planning staff believes the processes have been 'better coordinated' with <br />the approval of a UDO text amendment package in January of 2012. The <br />inherant problem is that one process is a land use management process <br />(Planning) and the other is focused on the care of the animal (Animal <br />Services). While we have addressed the majority of identified <br />contradictions, most notably the definitions, our processes will always be <br />somewhat unique given our different roles and responsibilities. <br />82.Different definitions of Class I and Class II permits Addressed by previous UDO text amendment approved in January of <br />2012 - Staff considers this item COMPLETE. <br />83.A lack of clarity as to whether a special use permit is required for <br />Class I as well as Class II kennel <br />Addressed by previous UDO text amendment approved in January of <br />2012 - Staff considers this item COMPLETE. <br />78
