The Planning Commission recommended approval of CU 26-05, a conditional use permit requested by Josh Horn to operate a dog training, breeding, boarding and grooming business on a 10-acre Rural Residential property east of SW Prairie Creek Road. Horn told commissioners a practical limit would be "approximately 20 dogs on the property" because he is a single trainer and described operational practices intended to limit barking and roaming.
