Ken Hubbart stated that the applicant is requesting to permit the use of this property for a dog wash business, in addition to a single family residence.

The Neighborhood Commercial District was established to provide for limited commercial uses conducive to a residential setting to operate in typically residential areas throughout Aberdeen. This proposed use is not a permitted use or special exception in the zoning district, therefore, an appeal of the ordinance was heard by the Aberdeen Board of Zoning Adjustment at its’ regularly scheduled meeting on May 11, 2017, at which time the board voted to approve an appeal to permit this use at this specific location. Following discussion Lien moved and Woodward seconded to approve with the stipulation that the property must be rezoned to (C-1/R-4) Neighborhood Commercial/Special Density Residential District at next months’ Planning Commission meeting in order to utilize the property as a residence in addition to the business.
