Public hearing on a request for a conditional use permit regarding approximately 2.0 acres of land in the WW Byers Survey, Abstract 29 Tr 20A, County of Johnson, Texas, located at 813 W. FM 917 to allow for the use of a dog grooming and boarding salon. Staff Presentation Owner’s Presentation Those in Favor Those Against Owner’s Rebuttal Commissioner Gibson opened the public hearig at 7:31 pm. Aaron read the following statement: The structure that will be used for the business is an original farmhouse dated pre-1920 and sits Northwest of the primary residence. The building is approximately 800 sq ft. This property is zoned (A) Agricultural District. The conditional use permit is to allow for the use of a dog grooming and boarding salon. The purpose of the Conditional Use Permit is to allow for review of uses which would not be appropriate generally without certain restrictions throughout a zoning district, but which if controlled as to number, area, location or relation to the neighborhood would promote the health, safety and welfare of the community. Such uses include colleges and universities, institutions, community facilities, zoos, cemeteries, country clubs, show grounds, drive-in theaters and other land uses as specifically provided for in this ordinance. To provide for the proper handling and location of such conditional uses, provision is made for amending this ordinance to grant a permit for a conditional use in a specific location. This procedure for approval of a Conditional Use permit includes public hearings before the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. The amending ordinance may provide for certain restrictions and standards for operation. The indication that it is possible to grant a Conditional Use Permit as noted elsewhere in this ordinance does not constitute a grant of privilege for such use, nor is there any obligation to approve a Conditional Use Permit unless it is the finding of the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council that such a conditional use is compatible with adjacent property use and consistent with the character of the neighborhood.

Baird Survey, Abstract No. 40, County of Johnson, Texas located at 248 Ranch Road. Aaron read statement: 1A was platted in 2022 and Lots 2 and 3 have never been platted.
