The applicant is requesting a renewal of a Specific Use Permit for a pet grooming salon to be placed within approximately 800 square feet of leased commercial space located at 801 E. Mid- Cities Boulevard. Pet grooming requires a SUP in order to gauge the appropriateness of a business which may cause a nuisance to surrounding residential properties due to noise of barking animals. The location is an in-line retail shopping center which currently houses a real-estate office and a dry cleaning store. Adjacent uses are a self-service car wash and a convenience store. Undeveloped property containing a gas well pad site exists to the north. The applicant proposes to continue operating the business Tuesdays through Sundays within typical business hours. The applicant specifically has stated that the pet grooming business is for business hours use only. No animals will be boarded overnight within the facility. The business works exclusively on appointments so that no more than one animal will be in the facility at a time with minor exceptions of transitions or late retrievals by the pet owners. In addition to the spa services, there will be a small retail element to the business selling pet grooming products and animal toys. The in-line retail site has adequate parking to hold the demand of the business. The Development Services Group has reviewed the application and has found that it complies with the City of Euless regulations.
