Summary

The committee moved to introduce Ordinance 14 O 26, a request for a special use to allow a domestic animal daycare and kennel at 1710 Maple Avenue in the RP Research Park District; the motion passed on a voice vote with no nays or abstentions recorded.

The Evanston Planning and Development Committee on Feb. 9 moved to introduce an ordinance that would grant a special use to operate a domestic animal daycare and kennel at 1710 Maple Avenue in the RP Research Park District. A committee member moved to introduce Ordinance 14 O 26 as listed on the agenda; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote after the chair called for those in favor to say "aye." No nays or abstentions are recorded on the audio.

The agenda description identifies the request as a special use for a domestic animal daycare center and kennel at 1710 Maple Avenue in the RP Research Park District. The committee record contains no staff presentation, site plan discussion, conditions, or public testimony on the audio beyond the emailed comment distributed earlier concerning animals and traffic from Gulaga, president of the Optima Views Condominium Association.

The transcript includes inconsistent spellings for the council member listed as the seconder (appearing as both "Hetikares" and "Henrikatas" in different lines). Because the audio record is not clear on an authoritative spelling, the committee’s audio shows the motion was seconded but does not supply a reliable spelling or further debate on the ordinance text. The item was advanced as an introduction for further consideration by the council.
