Commission approves expansion of G Canine Kennel with condition that dogs not be kept outdoors overnight
Summary
The Planning Commission approved additional kennels for G Canine Kennel at 215 Aurora Avenue, with staff conditions including setback and wooded buffer preservation and an explicit amendment barring dogs being kept outdoors overnight (6 p.m.–8 a.m.).
The commission approved a conditional use for expanded kennel capacity at a canine training center on Aurora Avenue, subject to staff recommendations that the site plan meet minimum 30‑foot setbacks and preserve a 190‑foot wooded buffer to provide noise mitigation. The applicant operates detection and training services and said the animals are typically held indoors overnight.
During public discussion members asked about outdoor housing at night; the commission amended staff’s recommendation to explicitly prohibit dogs from being kept in outdoor runs between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. The applicant confirmed the kennels will be climate‑controlled and animals will be kept indoors at night; staff emphasized waste management and drainage plans must be provided to mitigate health risks.
The amended motion to approve with staff recommendations carried by voice vote.
