Summary

Planning staff reviewed an application by Marta Arts to expand kennel capacity, add grooming and cat space, and permit event/vendor parking; staff said there have been no complaints in six years and the board scheduled a public hearing for May 7.

County planning staff presented an informational review of CUP 451 for Arts Grid LLC (Marta Arts) to expand operations at the Digwood Dog House in Boulder Canyon. Staff described the proposal as an interior reconfiguration and limited expansion of permitted uses — including grooming, a cat area, additional retail and obedience training space, and permission to allow event and vendor parking on an existing concrete lot. "She would like to expand the number of dogs allowed," Amber said, noting the previous conditional approval capped the facility at 20 dogs and staff had received no complaints during six years of operation.

Board members asked about parking and shuttle logistics during events and discussed potential conditions for future approval. Staff said detailed building plans and code compliance would be reviewed during the building-permit process. The board set a public hearing on the CUP for May 7 to allow public comment and formal action at a later meeting.
