The Clawson Planning Commission on Aug. 12 approved a special land use and the site plan for Hamilton Animal Hospital at 1523–1537 North Main Street, contingent on the applicant obtaining a variance for the residential setback and completing agreed site improvements.

The commission voted to approve the special land use and, later, the related site plan. Approvals were conditioned on the Zoning Board of Appeals granting a variance to allow the animal hospital use within 100 feet of a residential boundary (the planner said the measured distance on the submitted survey is about 80.5 feet), and on the applicant sealing, re-coating and restriping the rear parking area. The commission also required that any new or changed signage comply with the city sign ordinance and be processed administratively.
