Nampa planning staff presented a conditional-use permit request to let a homeowner keep four dogs at a single-family property at 721 Sunny Lane.

Terry Frond, associate planner for the City of Nampa, told the commission the application is for a noncommercial kennel allowing four dogs owned by Bobby Myers. "These are the 4 sweet dogs we're talking about. Willow, Kylie, Beedi, and Mare," Frond said, noting the animals are spayed females and primarily indoor pets.

The permit is sought because municipal code generally limits the number of dogs to two without a conditional-use permit (staff cited "10-21-3(d)"). Frond summarized the standards staff must find to approve the CUP: that the proposed use be consistent with the comprehensive plan, be adequately served by public facilities and services, and not adversely affect nearby properties by excessive traffic, noise, odors or other nuisances. He said the property appears well maintained and that there is no record of safety, smell or noise complaints tied to the animals.

Frond also explained enforcement and oversight mechanisms: a CUP can be revoked if a credible citizen complaint or a verified code violation is not remedied, and city staff retain authority to enforce property maintenance and animal-control standards. He noted there were no agency comments at the time of his presentation but described recommended conditions, including compliance with licensing requirements.

Commissioners and staff discussed project-specific technical items. A staff memo indicated the development is below local thresholds that would require a traffic-impact study; staff said they would coordinate with the transportation department and the developer if a study later became necessary and that any such review would likely focus on the site's entrance. The fire district "does not oppose this application subject to compliance with other code requirements," staff said. Engineering comments cited standard right-of-way requirements and potential bridge improvements if the property is developed; because of proximity to sewer, septic and drain fields may be required and proof of Southwest District Health approval would be needed prior to any lot split.

During deliberations, one commissioner moved to continue action item 3-4 and another seconded the motion; later a motion was made to post a vote. The provided transcript ends without recording a final decision on the CUP.

Next steps: commissioners signaled procedural motions to continue or advance toward a vote; the transcript does not record the final outcome or any permit conditions formally adopted.
