Kootenai County Community Development commissioners approved Conditional Use Permit CUP250001 for Bellissimo Shelti’s dog kennel at their Oct. 9, 2025 meeting, voting unanimously to carry the permit.
Planner Joseph Foudy of Kootenai County Community Development handled the item and offered commissioners the executive summary rather than a full presentation. Staff reported a favorable animal‑control review from the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office and told commissioners the county had received no public opposition to the proposal.
Commissioners discussed neighbor impacts as a typical concern for animal‑keeping uses but noted no residents had come forward opposing this application. With those factors, the board moved to approve the conditional‑use permit; the motion carried with all commissioners present voting in the affirmative.
The approval is an action by the county on CUP250001 and ends the matter at this meeting; no additional direction to staff or conditions beyond the normal permitting process were recorded during deliberations.
The meeting then moved on to other agenda items.
