Request of Applicant
Pam Sapetto, representing Buff Dog Kennel, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit in
order to allow a dog kennel at 2110 South Yale Street. Specifically, the applicant is requesting a
conditional use permit per Section 41- 472.5(e) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) to allow a
kennel for the temporary care and lodging of dogs and other domesticated household animals in
the Light Industrial (M -1) zoning district.
Project Location and Site Description
The Buff Dog Kennel is proposing to locate on a 1.22 acre, rectangular shaped parcel of land located
at 2110 South Yale Street. The parcel contains a single -story, 13,440 square foot industrial building
that is currently vacant. A total of 28 parking spaces are located on the site. The project site is
surrounded by industrial land uses to the north, south, east and west (Exhibits 1, 2 and 3).
Project Description
The Buff Dog Kennel is a dog training and exercise facility that is proposed to be located within an
existing warehouse building. In order to accommodate the proposed use, minimal improvements are
needed to the site. Interior improvements will be made to the restrooms to bring them into
compliance with handicap access standards. Exterior improvements are limited to minor repair to
Yale Street and new signage for the proposed use.
Buff Dog will have approximately three trainers who will work with the dogs during exercise or training
sessions, which last about 45 minutes each. Sessions will include obedience training, non-
competitive agility /fly ball and fearful fido classes, with classes having up to eight dogs. It Is expected
that most dogs will remain in the facility for up to two hours. The sessions are designed to either have
the dog owners participate with their dog or drop -off and pick -up after class (Exhibits 4 and 5).

The facility will also include jogging rooms for dogs that have limited exercise facilities at home as well
as a Puppy Clean Room that will be used to introduce puppies to other puppies for socialization and
training. A Holding Room also will be established that will be used for dogs that need to be separated
from the group during class sessions. The facility will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., seven
days a week.
Parking for the kennel is two spaces per 1,000 gross square feet of floor area. Based on this
requirement, a total of 27 parking spaces are required while 28 have been provided.
Proiect Background
Buff Dog Kennel is a new concept established by the business owner, Michelle Howard, to keep dogs
healthy. Her concept involves ensuring dogs stay healthy by providing a venue for teaching dogs and
their owners new methods for staying active and getting regular exercise.
The subject building was constructed in 1977. The building been occupied by a variety of wholesale,
warehouse and manufacturing uses since it was completed.
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The General Plan land use designation for the site is Industrial (IND). Industrial land use districts are
those areas of the City which are primarily developed with manufacturing and industrial uses.
Additionally, these districts allow non - industrial uses that provide support services to the industrial
base or that are more compatible in an industrial setting. The project site is consistent with this
General Plan land use designation.
The parcel is located within the Light Industrial (M -1) zoning district. The M -1 zoning district allows
kennels subject to a conditional use permit, making the proposed use consistent with the zoning
designation.
Proiect Analysis
Conditional Use Permit requests are governed by Section 41 -638 of the SAMC. Conditional Use
Permit requests may be granted when it can be shown that the following can be established:
• That the proposed use will provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well
being of the neighborhood or community.
• That the proposed use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to
the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity.
• That the proposed use adversely will not affect the present economic stability or future economic
development of properties surrounding the area.

Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -42

That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Chapter 41 for
such use.
That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of the city or any specific plan
applicable to the area of the proposed use.
If these findings can be made, then it is appropriate to grant the conditional use permit. Conversely,
the inability to make these findings would result in a denial. Using this information staff has prepared
the following analysis, which, in turn forms the basis for the recommendation contained in this report.
In analyzing the conditional use permit request, staff believes that the following findings of fact
warrant approval of the conditional use permit.
The proposed kennel meets all of the requirements specified in the Light Industrial (M -1) zoning
district relating to the proposed use. The subject property is in compliance with the development
standards for the M -1 zone, including setbacks, landscaping and parking. Additionally, appropriate
conditions of approval have been included for this project that will ensure it remains in compliance
with the provisions of the zoning district and does not become an attractive nuisance or disrupt the
surrounding industrial uses found in the area. The proposed kennel at this location supports several
General Plan Goals and Policies, including Land Use Element Goal 1, which promotes the balance of
land uses to address basic community needs; Goal 2, which promotes land uses that enhance the
economic viability of the City; and, Goal 3, which aims to allow uses that preserve and improve the
character and Integrity of neighborhoods. This project will provide a use that will assist in diversifying
the range of services available to residents of Santa Ana.
The Buff Dog Kennel will provide a service that will contribute to the general well -being of the
community. The proposed dog kennel will contribute to the well -being of the community by
assisting in diversifying the range of services available to residents, especially those residing in
the south and west sections of the City. Further, the proposed kennel is best suited within a larger
building that is typically found in the City's industrial zoning districts.
The proposed Buff Dog Kennel will not be detrimental to those working in the area as the kennel
will operate within a completely enclosed building, thereby minimizing potential impacts such as
noise on the surrounding tenants. Conditions of approval have been incorporated into the project
approvals that will minimize impacts to the surrounding industrial properties.
The expansion project will not adversely affect the economic viability of the area. The proposed
dog kennel will result in a positive addition to the surrounding area and will complement and
improve the economic viability of the area as the use will reoccupy a vacant industrial building,
thereby reducing the vacancy rate of the area and identifying the area as a stable location for
economic investment.
The proposed project will be in compliance with all applicable provisions of Chapter 41 of the
Santa Ana Municipal Code and all other provisions that are applicable to a kennel use.

The proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan. The Buff Dog Kennel is
consistent with the General Plan's Land Use Element goals and policies. Goal 1 promotes a
balance of land uses to address basic community needs, Goal 2 promotes land uses which
enhance the City's economic and fiscal viability, and Goal 3 promotes development that
preserves and improves the character and integrity of neighborhoods.
Public Notification
The project site is not located within the boundaries of a neighborhood association. The project
site was posted with a notice advertising this public hearing, a notice was published in the Orange
County Reporter, and mailed notices were sent to all property owners and tenants within 500 feet
of the project site. At the time of this printing, no correspondence, by phone, written, or electronic,
has been received from any members of the public.
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act the recommended action is exempt for
further review per Section 15301. The Class 1 exemption allows the licensing of existing facilities
with no expansion of the existing use. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. 2013 -69
will be filed for this project.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis provided within this report, staff recommends that the Planning Commission
approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2013 -42 as conditioned.
