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 renumbered. 20 Implementation Bridge - Future Phase Suggestions Planning Staff Comment 81.There is a need to better coordinate (and dare I say, unify) these ordinances. Some of the issues in regard to kennels include: Planning staff believes the processes have been 'better coordinated' with the approval of a UDO text amendment package in January of 2012. The inherant problem is that one process is a land use management process (Planning) and the other is focused on the care of the animal (Animal Services). While we have addressed the majority of identified contradictions, most notably the definitions, our processes will always be somewhat unique given our different roles and responsibilities. 82.Different definitions of Class I and Class II permits Addressed by previous UDO text amendment approved in January of 2012 - Staff considers this item COMPLETE. 83.A lack of clarity as to whether a special use permit is required for Class I as well as Class II kennel Addressed by previous UDO text amendment approved in January of 2012 - Staff considers this item COMPLETE. 84.A lack of clarity as to whether a special use permit is required for Class I under the Animal Control as well as the Zoning Ordinance A Special Use Permit is not required for a Class I kennel under the County's land management program. The Special Use Permit (which is a specific legal term related to land use planning) process is only a land use development process and is not required by other County departments/agencies. Animal Services requires permits for Class I and II kennels, which they handle administratively; they have never required a 'Special Use Permit' for a kennel. 85.Possible process improvements in the permitting process for kennels requiring a special use permit. 86. Also, I think we should consider whether site plans for “riding stables/academies” should be subject to review by Animal Control. One concern is the availability of staff expertise in this area. Another concern is that there are no specific stable standards in the County’s Animal Control Ordinances. By contrast, there are such standards for kennels which require permitting. Addressed by previous UDO text amendment approved in January of 2012 - Staff considers this item COMPLETE. 87.Clarify provisions for Outdoor events/activities, festivals, etc. 99
