Council approves two conditional use permits for same 6641 Lake Boulevard property
Summary
The Wyoming City Council approved a conditional use permit for a commercial dog kennel and an interim conditional use permit for a cannabis retailer at 6641 Lake Boulevard; staff said both applications meet standards but only one business may ultimately operate at the site.
The Wyoming City Council on Oct. 21 approved two land-use permits for the same property at 6641 Lake Boulevard: a conditional use permit for a commercial dog kennel (Top of the Valley Pet Resort, applicant Denise McLaughlin) and an interim conditional use permit for a cannabis retail operation (applicant Billy La Veil of 10000 Bakes).
City planning staff explained that a commercial kennel is required where a business houses more than four dogs and that both permit applications met the city’s conditional use standards. Staff described site conditions (a 2.83-acre parcel with an existing ~2,000-square-foot building and a six-stall parking lot), noted room for additional parking and said the planned outdoor fenced area can be screened. During the planning review the city added permit conditions addressing vegetation screening, lighting and noise in response to neighboring property-owner comments.
Council members asked about operational logistics if both permits are approved for the same parcel. Staff said there is nothing in city code preventing two separate applications from being filed and considered; however only one business could operate from the site at a time. If both permits are approved the property owner would later choose which business occupies the site; the city would revoke or terminate the unused permit if the other business begins operations or if the permit remains unused for a year. Staff also confirmed application fees are not refundable.
On the cannabis interim use item council asked about odor control. Staff said the proposal is for a retail outlet (products sold in packaged form) and that odor compliance is part of state licensing and state inspection processes as well as municipal ordinance compliance. Council approved Resolution 25-10-105 (pet resort CUP) and Resolution 25-10-106 (interim cannabis CUP) by voice votes.
Actions and next steps: both CUPs were approved with conditions; staff will follow up on site-specific conditions (landscaping, parking, lighting, noise) and will monitor which business ultimately operates from the property.
