Hollidaysburg Borough Council approved a conditional‑use permit allowing Citrine Holistic Canine Parlor to operate at 208 Union Street, subject to standard conditions including compliance with zoning for any future changes and written acceptance of the conditions by the applicant.

The hearing was held after borough staff confirmed the application, filed May 7, 2025, had been advertised and the property posting and certification met ordinance requirements. Andrew Hladnik, the borough’s director of community development, told the council the application was complete and that the borough planning commission reviewed the request and recommended approval, finding no negative impact on the RV zoning district.

Owner Brogan Harr told the council she operates a “cage‑free” one‑on‑one grooming business, uses U.S.‑made organic hypoallergenic products and typically schedules clients about 30 minutes apart. Harr said the 208 Union Street site has a large parking lot but she expects only one vehicle on site at a time and that the business “won’t alter the character of the neighborhood.”

Attorney Carn (counsel to the borough) and Hladnik proposed conditions the council later read into the record: any change from a dog‑grooming parlor to another use would require a new conditional‑use application; any exterior or building changes must comply with applicable zoning and require separate approvals; signage must comply with the zoning ordinance; and the applicant must sign a written acceptance of those conditions or the approval would be deemed a denial. No members of the public spoke for or against the application during the hearing.

Council members moved to approve the conditional use with those conditions; the motion carried. The council asked counsel and staff to prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law and to present a final decision for the applicant’s signature at the next procedural step.

The approval does not authorize any work beyond the approved use: building alterations, new signage or a change of use will require additional reviews and approvals as required by the borough zoning ordinance.

The council’s hearing record includes the completed application, advertising affidavits and the planning commission’s recommendation.
