Planning staff recommend conditional rezoning for Club Pups kennel on Cayuga Drive with interior kennels and limited outdoor play yards
Summary
Town staff recommended approval of a conditional rezoning (CZ‑2025‑03) to allow Club Pups to operate a kennel and pet boarding facility on a 2.39‑acre industrial parcel, with proposed use standards keeping kennels inside and play yards set back 10 feet.
Mooresville planning staff recommended approval of a conditional zoning application to allow a kennel and pet boarding facility, Club Pups, to locate at 264 (transcript: "Koga") Drive, a 2.39‑acre parcel within an industrial park.
Sandy (planning staff) presented the case, CZ‑2025‑03, saying the applicant (John Darden; owner listed as Junior James Holdings LLP) seeks conditional zoning to apply current permitted‑use standards that would require kennels remain indoors and allow a 10‑foot perimeter buffer for outdoor play yards. Sandy said the site sits across from Casey Caine’s racing facility and that the closest residence is over 600 feet away; the site is bounded by industrial uses.
Staff reported the parcel is a legacy conditional general industrial district (02/2006) and that the proposed concept plan meets modernized use regulations, stream buffer constraints and impervious‑cover thresholds. The planning board voted unanimously to recommend approval on March 25, and staff recommended approval to the board of commissioners.
Commissioners asked about neighborhood covenants and whether property owners had raised objections; Sandy said the applicant addressed covenants during a neighborhood meeting on June 30 and that staff had received no follow‑up calls or emails after that meeting. Commissioner DeWeese and Commissioner Walz asked about proximity to residences and covenant review; Sandy said the applicant could address covenant compliance during its presentation.
Staff noted conditions would place kennels inside the building and limit outside play yards to the designated setback; the applicant’s concept plan locates the kennel area away from residential areas and within the industrial park. No formal vote was recorded during the pre‑agenda presentation.
Clarifying details: subject lot size 2.39 acres; closest residence over 600 feet away; planning board recommendation unanimous; legacy conditional zoning from 02/2006; applicant John Darden, owner Junior James Holdings LLP.
