| Additional Information: | The purpose of this rezoning request is to allow for pet day care and boarding at this location. According the Table 3.1.1. of the UDO, grooming (personal services) is allowed in NC and GC as well as a barber shop (which is next door). Boarding and pet day care is not allowed under the existing zoning classification; therefore, rezoning is needed to include those uses. |
