Re: Conditional Use Permit The Puppy Tub
Legal Description: Lot Thirteen and W 1a ft of Lot 1q
in Block Six (6) to the City of Central Point, Jackson
County, Oregon.
The Puppy Tub has been in operation since 1982 at 325 E Pine,
Central Point, OR 97502. We are applying fox' a Conditional
Use Permit in order to move the business from it's current
location to 237 E Pine, Central Point, OR.
The new site for "The Puppy Tub" is more than adequate in
size and shape to accommodate said use and to meet all other
development and lot requirements of the City of Central Point
zoning district. The new location is about twice the size of
the previous location with approximately 1400 square feet.
The new site has adequate access to Pine Street and that street
is adequate in size and condition to effectively accommodate
the traffic that is expected to be generated. The new site
also has back door access to parking for approximately
9 (nine} vehicles. The previous site had NO back parking or
access.
The proposed use will have no adverse effect on abutting
property or the permitted use thereof. Ail improvements
will be made inside the site with the exception of the signs.
These signs are now in use at the previous site, and will be
located at the new site in accordance with current city
ordinances, as they are now.
The establishment, maintenance or operation of the use
applied for will comply with local, state and federal health
and safety regulations and therefore will not be detrimental
to the health, safety or general zaelfare of persons residing or
working in the surrounding neighborhoods and trill. not be
detrimental or injurious to the property and improvements
in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the community
based on the review of those factors.
xs~:F l~I'i' ! I
The Puppy Tub operates Monday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m.
through 5:00 p.m. As with any business! they have seasons
which are busiY~r than others, but an average, they have
IO-12 clients a day. The Puppy Tub bathes and grooms household
pets. ~nFhen the animals are not being bathed or ;roomed, they
are contained in portable animal carriers. They do not proviae
kennel. services. The animals came and leave during the same
day.
Sorne animals object to bearAg bathed and groomed and there will
occassionally be some barking but the new site has concrete
galls ~,rhich should keep any noise to a minimum. There was
a door from our site to the PPL office which had been covered
that allowed noise to filter through. This has been insulated
and plastered over on our lade and will be done also an the
other side of the ~,rall.
In order to keep any adorn to a minimum, the puppy tub has
ordered a dumpster for any garbage, a new cleaning solution
specifically to combat pet odors and an air falter that
circulates. We have been assured by Doris dunce that any
and all precautions will be made to eliminate any unpleasant
odors. Gorden's Enterprises wall be adding an addendum to
our lease ~•rith The Puppy Tub specifying that the site will
be kept clean and odor free with periodic checks by the
owners to verify this.

Dear City Council Members,
,~s you may know The Puppy's Tub dog grooming business has an excellent
opportunity to expand in our city. We feel this will benefit all members
of our community. Phis service has been provided for nearly ten years
in it's present location and we feel. it shall do an even better service
in the new location in the coming decade.
Mrs. Boris Kunce, the present owner has in the past three years,
doubled the size of her cliental and is sure th at with the new facility
it shall at least expand to that capacity again.
Phis type of service attracts not only members of the local community
but also many individuals from surrounding areas. Mrs. Kunce has clients
from Grants Pass to Ashland, Jacksonville to Eagle Point and pla~ea
inbetween. Some customers come from as far as Klamath Falls, Crater Lake,
and parts of California. Many of these people utilize the other services
our community has to offer while waiting for their pets.
The new facility offers ample off street parking which helps reduce
surface street conjestion, aS well as providing the business with cross
ventilation due to front and rear doors. The rear door also offers alley
access which enables the business to appropriate the services of a refuge
disposal service rather than personally driving to the disposal site,
which will also aide in reduced traffic and air pollution.
The business takes advantage of numerous products to eliminate odors and
freshen the air so as to not offend the clients or neighbors in close
proximity. An electronic air cleaner freshens the air and helps remove
dust particles, also commercial deodorizers are in use. With the help of
Mr. Milton Gordon the unused doorway through the wall to Pacific Power
has been filled with four (~¢~ inches of insulation and sheet racked an
both sides of the wall to eliminate the smells which had penetrated
through the opening while workers installed linoleum and tub board in the
bathing and grooming areas earlier this month.
The Puppy~s Tub also aids the ill and elderly on fixed incomes by
offering special reduced rates to these customers enabling them to maintain
their companions affordably.
Mrs. Kunce has enjoyed providing this service to our community and
looks forward to serving it fox many years to come.
Sincerely yours,

STAFF REPORT
T0: Planning Commission
FROM: George Rubaloff, Administrative Assistant~~
DATE: January 28, 1931
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit Application
The Puppy`s Tub, a dog grooming service, 237 E. Pine
{37 2W 3DD TL 10800}
SUMMARY
Applicant Milton Gorden has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to operate The
Puppy's Tub, a dog grooming service at 237 E. Pine Street located in the C-3
zoning district. The Planning Cn:runission is scheduled to conduct a public
hearing at the February 5, 1391 meeting, after which the Commission can
deliberate on the permit request.
BACKGROU2~13
City records indicate that a Conditional Use Permit was issued to Sandra and
Richard I~oskins in 1382 to operate the dog grooming service at 321 East Pine
Street. This use is classified under the broad category of pet sales and related
supplies, and is considered a conditional use in the downtown business district
{C-3 zone}. Since Conditional Use Permits are reviewed and granted on a site
specific basis, the recent relocation of the business has prompted an application
for conditional use permit.
The proposed dag grooming service would be operated within a 1400{ square foot
store space, located at 237 East Pine Street. The operation would consist of
areas designated for washing, temporary animal containment, grooming, supplies
and office administration. The project does not involve any improvements to the
property or the structure.
Public notices were distributed to property owners within a lOD foot radius of
the proposed site. As of 5:00 p.m. on January 31, 1991, the City has not
rece5.ved any written comments regarding the proposed conditional use permit.
REVIEW DISCiTSSION
Staff reviewed the conditional use permit application in accordance with those
standards outlined in 17.40, 17.60, 17.76 and applicable development sections
of the Central Point Municipal Code. I?lanning Department staff has included
several conditions within this report which should also be attached to any
resolution approving the permit.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT OBSERVATIONS
1. According to County Health Department, dog or pet grooming is not
regulated by the State and does not require any permits outside of
the local jurisdiction.
2. Off-street parking requirements are waived in the C-3 zone for
buildings, lots and uses existing on the effective date of the
ordinance (7/89) provided said buildings, lots and use was legally
established. Moreover, that waiver is not lost since the building
is not being structurally expanded nor is the previous use being
replaced by a more intensive use that will cause greater off--street
parking demands.
Regardless of the off-street parking exemption in C-3 zone, the
applicant is providing off-street parking space for the proposed use
at the rear of the building. Staff estimates that there are
approximately five standard parking spaces, including maneuvering
space available to the proposed business, and to other businesses
which access the rear area. It is staff's understanding that the
off street parking space is allocated by lease to the businesses in
the area (not solely the proposed business}.
3. Customers will be able to enter the dog grooming service from the
front or rear. For convenience, the customers will be encouraged
to drop and pick up dogs at the rear access. The business operator
plans to place more gravel at the rear access.
4. Sign blanketing, when applied to signs projecting over a public
sidewalk, means the partial nr complete shutting off of the view of
the display surface of a sign by another sign, when viewed by a
person standing upon the sidewalk. The applicant intends to relocate
the (Puppy's Tub) sign which is designed to protrude over the
sidewalk.
5. The business operator intends to mitigate odors which are generated
by the dog grooming activities by using odor reduction products, an
aiz purifier unit and improved ventilation at the new site. The
operator also uses a muzzle in those occasions when animals will not
remain quite.
PLANNII~TG TaEPARTMENT CON~]ITIONS
1. Applicant shall provide signage in the rear parking area to orient
customers as to available parking spaces and circulation pattern.
All vehicle maneuvering associated to the off-street parking provided
by the applicant shall occur an--site and shall oat occur in the
public alleyway adjacent to the property.
2. Applicant shall apply far a sign permit prior to installing sign
during which time the applicant and the City can re-evaluate and
resolve any blanketing problems at the new location.
3. Applicant shall report changes in the business license record to the
City business license clerk.
4. Applicant shall continue to mitigate odor and sound generated by dog
grooming and any legitimate accessory use, and thus maintain the
general welfare of adjacent properties and land uses. Inability of
the applicant to control odor, sound and any other such effects may
be cause for revocation of the conditional use permit.
