Planning department presents kennel-use zoning amendment; public raises concerns about animals in industrial areas
Summary
City planning proposed amending zoning code to allow kennel (boarding and care) uses in light- and general-industrial districts with a conditional use permit; opponents at the hearing objected to allowing animals outdoors or in industrial settings and asked for clearer restrictions.
The Omaha City Council heard a public hearing on an ordinance to amend Chapter 55 of the Omaha Municipal Code to expand where kennel use (defined as boarding and care services for four or more animals) is allowed. The planning department described the amendment as adding kennel use to LI (Light Industrial), GI (General Industrial) and HI (Heavy Industrial) districts with conditional use permit approval.
