A pet day care facility is a business for the temporary boarding and care of common household pets during daytime hours only. Pet day care facilities may provide related services such as grooming or training, but no animals may be bred or sold at a pet day care facility unless the pet day care facility is accessory to a principal retail use. Pet day care facilities are subject to the following requirements:
(a) Vehicular Circulation. On-site vehicular circulation shall be configured to accommodate vehicles within the boundaries of the site. In no case shall vehicles awaiting drop-off or pick-up of a pet be allowed to encroach onto a public or private street.
(b) Odors. Pet day care facilities shall be constructed, maintained, and operated so that the sounds and smell of animals cannot be discerned outside of the building. Outdoor runs shall be maintained so that no odors are discernible from adjacent properties.
(c) Outdoor Runs. Outdoor runs where pets will be permitted either on or off-leash shall be set back a minimum of 100 feet from any adjacent residentially zoned or used land. The 100 foot setback notwithstanding, outdoor runs shall be located as far as practicable from any adjacent residential zoning district. Any outdoor runs where pets will be permitted off-leash shall be surrounded by a minimum 54-inch tall fence. If the fence will be visible from any adjacent residential district or road right-of-way, the fence shall be decorative in nature.
(d) Landscaping. The Planning Commission may require a landscaped buffer or solid wall to be provided between the outdoor run and any adjacent district if the location of the proposed outdoor run could negatively impact adjacent land.
