OWNER PROFILE
My name is Jody Meyer and I am applying for a Use by Special Review Permit
to allow me to build a small cat boarding business on my property. I am a native
of Colorado, having grown up in Windsor and resided in Greeley since 1977. In
1985 I applied for and was granted a Use Permit from Weld County and built
Double J Pet Ranch, a large dog and cat boarding kennel on Highway 392. I
enjoyed tremendous success with that business and sold it after 6 wonderful
years.
During the time I owned and operated Double J, I received no complaints about
noise or anything else. In addition, the Weld County Health Department who at
that time inspected kennels, used my facility to train new employees, remarking
how clean and well-kept it was. The business always received a perfect rating
from the Health Department. It is now operated as K-9 Bed and Biscuit kennel.
I have worked with dogs and/or cats for over 20 years in several areas including
boarding, grooming and in-home care. My goal now is to open a "cats only"
boarding business so people in our growing community have another option for
their cats. Cats are obviously very quiet and my proposed business will be
operated unobtrusively to show the utmost respect to my neighbors.
Thank you so much for your consideration.
SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND
USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW (USR) QUESTIONNAIRE
1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property.
The proposed use is to add approximately 500 sq. ft. onto my existing home for the
purpose of boarding cats. The structure will be connected to the back of what is
currently my hobby room. Both the hobby room and new addition will be used for the
cat boarding business. The interior of the 15'X30' hobby room will be remodeled and
will house an entry area, office and 7 or 8 cat condos. The addition will house the
remaining 12 or 13 cat condos as well as a small kitchen, laundry room and half bath.
The addition will match the existing home and will include windows for each cat to sit in
and observe the wildlife outdoors. Twenty cat condos will be built and will far surpass
the Department of Agriculture standards for cat boarding. Each condo will be a
minimum of 3' wide and will extend from floor to ceiling with a window in each and
perches for the cats to climb on and take catnaps on. Some condos will be 4'to 5'wide
to accommodate families with multiple cats.
The interior of the cattery will be beautifully decorated and music will add to the serenity
of the business. Water features, bird houses, bird baths, etc. will be added to make the
yard a sanctuary for the birds, rabbits, and other habitat which currently live in our
neighborhood. The wonderful creatures will provide hours of enjoyment for the visiting
cats to observe from their private windows.
My goal is to operate a very quiet, clean, beautiful and professional cat care facility. It
will be small in scale and will blend in with the neighborhood where I have enjoyed living
for 15 years.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County
Code, Chapter 22 (Comprehensive Plan).
Section 22-2-60.D.A.Goal.4 - Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban residential,
commercial and industrial uses will be accommodated when the subject site is in an
area that can support such development. Such development shall attempt to be
compatible with the region. This goal is intended to address conversion of agricultural
land to nonurban uses. Once converted, this land is less conducive to agricultural
production.
Section 22-2-170.B.C.Goal 2 - Encourage the expansion and diversification of the
commercial economic base.
Section 22-2-170.C.C.Goal 3 -Address the compatibility of commercial land uses with
adjacent land uses.
Section 22-2-170.C.2. C.Policy 3.2 - New commercial development should demonstrate
compatibility with existing surrounding land use in terms of general use, building height,
scale, density, traffic, dust and noise.
The property is located in JB Acres subdivision and is approximately 1.7 acres in size.
Due to the size and location it is unlikely that this site would be utilized for an agricultural
production operation. The addition of a 500 sq. ft. building, for a cattery, would be
compatible with the area as a cattery is not an intensive land use.
The operation will provide a service which is desired by the community and which will be
harmonious with the existing residences in the subdivision. There will be no dust or
noise associated with the business and the traffic increase will be negligible. In addition,
the new structure will match the existing residence.
This proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as described in the goals and
policy outlined above.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County
Code, Chapter 23 (Zoning) and the zone district in which it is located.
The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
Section 23-3-40.H of the Weld County Code allows kennels as a Use by Special Review
in the Agricultural Zone District. The Weld County Code defines a kennel as any place
other than a pet shop, veterinary clinic or hospital where five or more household pets of
one species are kept or maintained. Domestic cats are defined as a household pet.
The future cattery adheres to the section noted above which is consistent with the intent
of the agricultural zone district.
4. What type of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is
consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses.
'JB Acres subdivision is zoned agricultural and there are no covenants. Most people
who live here have dogs and/or cats and several have goats, horses and other farm
animals. Many people have small home businesses and everyone co-exists very well.
My proposed cattery will be very compatible with the uses here and will create very little
traffic, an estimated 2 to 3 cars daily, so I won't disturb anyone's quality of life. There
will be no noise associated with the cats and they will be kept indoors at all times.
5. Describe in detail the following:
a. How many people will use this site?
According to the American Boarding Kennel Association statistics, approximately 42% of
people in the U.S. now own at least one cat. Since the Greeley area has grown to about
100,000 people, 42,000 of those may need to board their cats on occasion. Many
people, especially those with cats, prefer to board their cat in a "cats only"facility. At
present, Loveland has one such facility, Ft. Collins has three, and Greeley has none.
There is obviously a need for this type of business here. I have over 20 years of
experience working with animals and feel certain that this will be a very positive addition
to our community.
b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site?
I will be the only employee as the business will be very small. In the future I anticipate
the need to hire one part-time employee only.
c. What are the hours of operation?
Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday 9:00AM -noon and 4:OOPM-6:OOPM.
Saturday 9:00 AM-noon, and Sunday 5:OOPM-6:OOPM by appointment only.
d. What type and how many structures will be erected (built) on this site?
The only structure to be built will be a 500 sq. ft. addition to the existing home. It will
match the house using wood siding, asphalt shingles and painted to match.
e. What type and how many animals, if any,will be on this site?
Cats will be boarded on site. Twenty cat condos will accommodate approximately 30
cats when completely full, taking into account people who own multiple cats.
f. What kind (type, size, weight) of vehicles will access this site and how often?
The only vehicles using this site will be private customer vehicles. No commercial
vehicles will be needed.
g. Who will provide fire protection to the site?
Union Colony Rescue Authority Station 7 serves this site and is only 1.5 miles from the
location.
h. What is the water source on the property? (Both domestic and irrigation).
North Weld County Water District serves both domestic and irrigation needs on this site.
The proposed business will use very little additional water.
I. What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed).
The property has an existing septic system, and no waste from the cats will be disposed
of in it. The litter box waste will be double-bagged and put into a large 96 gallon trash
receptacle. The receptacle will be kept hidden on the south edge of the property away
from any homes and will be picked up weekly by Waste Management Company.
j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored?
No additional storage or warehousing will be needed to operate the business.
6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be
separately submitted as a landscape plan map as part of the application
submittal.
The property currently has several mature trees and bushes. In adddition I will add a
small parking area for my customers which will be covered in either gravel or recycled
asphalt. One locust tree will need to be removed as it is in the path of the proposed
addition. Two small trees in the parking area will also need to be removed and will allow
for a turn-around area. Some of the existing wood fencing will be removed and replaced
with more attractive vinyl privacy fencing, particularly across the front of the yard on the
south side of the property.
7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by
Special Review activity occurs.
Should the facility be permanently discontinued, it would be marketed under applicable
county planning and zoning regulations to its greatest and best use.
8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site.
The drainage won't exceed historical runoff.
9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and
landscaping is scheduled to begin.
Construction will take approximately six weeks and will begin immediately upon approval
of the Use Permit. Landscaping will begin about three weeks after approval and will
take approximately three weeks to complete.
10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site?
No waste will be stored or stockpiled on the property.
