No complaints have been received regarding the conduct of these two previous clinics. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 8-48.2 (c) requires that a Conditional Use Permit be obtained for animal hospitals and kennels. Because the proposed use involves four (4) clinics, it is not considered temporary as it was with the previous appications, and therefore, it is required to have Planning Commission approval. Section 8-94.0 states that conditional uses must be analyzed to determine: 1) whether or not the use is required by the public need; 2) whether or not the use wil be properly related to other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity; 3) whether or not the use will materially affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity; and, 4) whether or not the use will be contrary to the specific intent clauses or performance standards established for the district in which it is located: -1- section 8-94.4 states the approval of a Conditional Use Permit may be valid only for a specified term, and may be made contingent upon the acceptance and observance of specified conditions, including but not limited to the following matters: a) substantial conformity to approved plans and drawings; b) limitations on time of day for the conduct of specified activities; c) time period within which the approval shall be exercised and the proposed use brought into existence, failing which, the approval shall lapse and be void; d) guarantees as to compliance with the terms of the approval, including the posting of bond; e) compliance with requirements -of other departments of the City/County Government. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Categorically exempt NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the August 15, 1983, hearing was published in the Tri-Valley Herald, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: The proposed pet vaccination clinics will take place in the Payless parking lot on four Sundays during the next eight months. The clinics will last approximately 4 hours. Ample parking lot space is available, particularly since the clinics will take place on Sundays, and for a short duration. Two previous clinics have taken place without any problems or complaints, and with the applicant complying with the previous conditions of approval. The low-cost vaccinations appear to have received community support, with 80-125 pets being vaccinated at each clinic. The clinics are an acceptable, limited time, use which will be conducted at a location with ample parking and safety provisions. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION REQUIRED: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing on this request, make a decision on this application and make findings to support the Commission's action. If the Commission approves the Conditional Use Permit, a Resolution should be passed to support that decision (see attached Draft Resolution, which includes the required findings for approval). PRE-HEARING RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that a Conditional use Permit be approved to enable Pet Medical Srvices to conduct four low-cost vaccination clinics, one each, on: September 18, 1983; November 20, 1983; January 15, 1984; and March 18, 1984, subject to the Conditions of Approval as contained in the attached Draft Resolution.
