BZA approves home‑based dog‑grooming variance on Morton Avenue
Summary
A homeowner was granted a variance to operate a low‑intensity dog‑grooming salon at 2603 Morton Ave., with staff conditions that animals not be boarded overnight and that required permits be obtained for any interior modifications and signage limited to temporary yard signs.
The board approved a use variance allowing a homeowner to operate a dog‑grooming salon from a residential property at 2603 Morton Avenue.
The petitioner described an appointment‑based operation with roughly four to five clients per day, no outdoor kenneling and no overnight boarding. The owner said pickups and drop‑offs would use on‑site driveways and that animals would remain inside the residence during service.
Staff recommended approval on the basis that pet grooming is a low‑intensity, accessory service to a residential structure and that, with conditions, it would not adversely affect neighboring properties. Conditions adopted by the board included a prohibition on overnight boarding, requirement to obtain building permits for any interior changes, and limitation of signs to temporary yard signs; permanent signage would require a separate development variance hearing.
The board motion adopted staff’s findings and the requested variance with the stated conditions.
