Council adds “pet training” use to General Commercial zoning with supplemental rules
Summary
An applicant seeking to open a daytime pet‑training facility won unanimous council approval Sept. 18 for a zoning text amendment that defines “pet training” and allows it as a special‑exception use in the General Commercial district with supplemental sanitation regulations.
The Village Council unanimously approved a zoning text amendment on first reading Sept. 18 to add a definition for “pet training” and permit pet‑training facilities as a special‑exception use within the General Commercial (CG) zoning district. Planning Director Bradford O’Brien presented the language staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended. The ordinance defines pet training as “daytime training services for pets, including structured obedience and behavioral programs using positive reinforcement techniques with no overnight boarding or kenneling.” Supplemental regulations require an indoor protocol for collection, bagging, cleaning and disposal of pet waste; routine checks of surrounding outdoor areas for pet waste and sanitation of frequent urination areas. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval 08/26/2025 and staff recommended adoption. No public comments were offered at the hearing. Council approved the ordinance on first reading and directed staff to proceed with the code update.
