For the reasons set forth herein, it will be <br /> appropriate for the Commission to grant approval of the Application upon reconsideration. <br /> The Staff Report provided by Chuck Marohn of the Community Growth Institute prior to the <br /> June Meeting advised the Commission that an animal boarding facility is a conditional use <br /> within a Rural Residential zoning district—the zoning district in which the Garlands' property is <br /> situated. Mr. Marohn also recommended approval of the Application, stating as follows: <br /> L:\Open matters\Garland,LaRee\3474-004 CUP Appeal\Correspondence\Out\07-07-10 ltr to City Planning Commission re denialof CUP <br /> application.doc <br />
