office will be in the existing structure that was formally used by Valley Trophy. The vans
used for the mobile surface will be parked at the subject site. In -clinic surgeries, dental

conducted a neighborhood meeting on October 3, 2023, at the subject property. The
meeting was attended by 10-11 residents of the neighborhood to learn about the

Site Pictures/Screening to South
Ms. Fischer of has provided a narrative found as Exhibit 1 and below.,
House Paw Home Veterinary Care is a mobile veterinary practice currently based out of
Lake Elmo, Minnesota. We provide house call veterinary services to dogs and cats
throughout the Twin Cities. We are looking to purchase the property at 14231 601h
Street N. in Oak Park Heights.
11 a # _W
Four lots are included with the purchase of this property (Lots 1, 6, 7, and 8). An
existing home/business exists on Lot 8, along with a single staff detached garage. Lots
1, 6, and 7 are vacant We do not plan to make any improvements to the vacant lots.
Lots 1 and 6 will be sold, while Lots 7 and 8 will be retained and likely rezoned into a
single parcel,
W1171=
The structure on Lot 8 is in need of several updates, both interior and exterior. A2
Phase I of our proposed project, we intend to update the interior with more modem
renovations, including new flooring, paint, and appliances, We do not plan to change
the size of the structure. Exterior renovations will maintain a "residential style"
appearance and will likely include new roofing and siding, and a small parking lot The
goal of Phase 1 Is to be able to move our office, storage, and all daily operations to the
building.
Phase 2
As a mobile practice, we see 95 % of our patients in their homes. We travel in cargo
vans, which need a climate -controlled space for overnight parking. In Phase 2 of the
project, we plan to construct a garage on the North side of Lot 8 that will contain enough
space to park four vans. The exterior of the garage will be compatible with the exterior
of the building (i.e,, a residential style). During this phase, we will also extend and pave
the parking lot. Until Phase 2 is complete, two cargo vans will be stored on the lot, in
the parking lot to the West of the building.
Patients On -Site
One of our primary needs for a new property is to accommodate "in clinic" surgeries,
dental procedures, and X-rays. We plan to schedule these on-site procedures one or
IN
two days per week, and we will have between one and three clients dropping off pets
per day. Pets will be dropped off between 8am and 9:30arn and picked up between
noon and 4pm. We do not provide overnight boarding or care. There will be at least
three days per week that we do not see any patients on-site, and we are never open on
weekends. We will begin to see patients on-site once Phase I of construction is
complete.
Ms. Fischer has indicated that Phase 1 will begin the Spdng of 2024, and will begin
Phase 2 in the Fall of 2024 or Spring of 2025. Phase 2 should take approximately four
months to complete.
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as
Residential/Business Transitional on the Proposed Land Use Map. The use of the
property for the proposed clinic is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Zoning Ordinance. The property is zoned R -B, Residential/Business Transitional
District in which clinics are a conditional use. The definition of clinic in the Zoning
Ordinance does not differentiate but allows for both human and animal patients, Lot 1
and Lot 8 (the subject site) are zoned R -B District and the single-family dwellings to the
south are zoned R-1 Single Family Residential.
401.28.E. Conditional Uses: The following are conditional uses in an R -B District:
(Requires a conditional use permit based upon procedures set forth in and regulated by
Section 401.03 of this Ordinance.)
2. Medical offices and clinics, dental offices and clinics, professional offices and
commercial (leased) offices (limited to appraisers, architects, attorneys, certified
public accountants, clergymen, dentists, engineers, manufacturers'
representatives, physicians, real estate agents, mail order businesses, and other
similar uses which have no exterior storage of merchandise, and are service
oriented with no retail sale of goods on the premises), and funeral homes and
mortuaries provided that. -
a. The site and related parking and service entrances are served by an
arterial or collector street of sufficient capacity to accommodate the traffic
which will be generated.
Comment® A traffic study has been provided by the Applicant. The
amount of traffic that is generated by this use should not be an issue for
60th Street and Odell Avenue N. The traffic study is subject to review of
the City Engineer.
b. Adequate off-street parking is provided in compliance with Section
401.15.F, of this Ordinance.
KI
Comment: Adequate parking will be provided for the business, As part of
Phase I some of the stalls will remain as a gravel surface, but the
driveway and parking lot will need to be provided with curb and pavement
in Phase 2.
C. Adequate off-street loading is provided in compliance with Section
401.15.1=. of this Ordinance.
Comment: Adequate area has been provided at the parking lot side of
the building for deliveries and loading/unloading the mobile veterinary
vans.
d. Vehicular entrances to parking or service areas shall create a minimum of
conflict with through traffic movement.
Comment: There should be no issue with the current driveway and
access to Odell Avenue North.
e. When abutting an R-1, R-2, or R-3 District, a buffer area with screening
and landscaping in compliance with Section 401.15.E. of this Ordinance
shall be provided.
Comment: There is a significant amount of tree cover that separates the
site from the single-family dwellings to the south. The Applicant has
indicated that Lot 6 could be sold for another single-family dwelling, further
screening the business. Lot 7 would remain as open space.
f All signing and information or visual communication devices shall comply
with Section 401.15.G. of this Ordinance,
Comment: The Applicant proposes to use the existing monument sign
base,
9. The provisions of Section 401.03.A.7 of this Ordinance are considered
and satisfactorily met.
Conditional Use Permit Criteria. The Planning Commission should consider the
following issues and impacts of the proposed project in making its recommendation,
The conditional use permit criteria, found in Section 401.03.A,7 of the Zoning
Ordinance, are found as follows:
1. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the municipal
comprehensive plan.
Ell
2. The conformity with present and future land uses in the area.
3. The environmental issues and geographic area involved,
4. Mether the use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed.
5, The impact on character of the surrounding area.
6. The demonstrated need for such use.
7. Traffic generation by the use in relation to capabilities of streets serving
the property.
8. The impact upon existing public services and facilities including parks,
schools, streets, and utilities, and the City's service capacity,
9. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained
herein (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Comment: The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance
with a Conditional Use Permit. The impact on the neighborhood should be minor in that
with Phase 1, the appearance of the site will not change. An amended Conditional Use
Permit will be required with Phase 2. Vehicles in and out of the site will access the
driveway that is north of the residential area. There should be no impact on existing
public services and facilities with this use. City Staff have proposed conditions for
review. The Planning Commission and City Council shall comment on the conformance
with the CUP criteria.
Phase 1 and 2. The Applicant has indicated in the narrative that the improvements to
the site will be primarily to the structure in Phase I and the gravel driveway and parking
lot will remain. The portion of the parking lot adjacent to the building will be paved at
this time to accommodate the disability parking space. In Phase 2, a garage to store
the mobile veterinary vans will be constructed and the drivewaylparking areas will be
curbed and paved. No definite plans have been submitted at this time for Phase 2 and
an Amended Conditional Use Permit will be required.
Lots/Future Development. The Applicants purchased lots 1, 6, 7, and 8 of Gregory
Garin and Gray's Addition. Lots 7 and 8 will be retained for the House Paws business,
Lot 6 could be sold for single family purposes, and Lot 1 sold for development into a
compatible R-13 District use. As a condition of approval, the Applicant will be required to
legally combine Lots 7 and 8. The intent of this requirement is to preserve the
separation and screening for the residential properties to the south.
Screening. No additional screening has been proposed for the business, The site is
naturally screened to the south and west, The Planning Commission should comment
on the adequacy of the natural screening.
Parking. The site plan indicates a total of 14 parking spaces for the clinic. The square
footage of the structure is 2,222 square feet requiring the following parking spaces:
RK,222 sq ft x .9 = 2,000 sq ft / 200 = 10 parking spaces require*'
0
The Ordinance requires 10 parking spaces and 14 are provided. The design exceeds
the parking requirement which now, under the new parking ordinance, will require
Conditional Use Permit review. Staff does not have an issue with the number of stalls
proposed versus what the requirement specifies. Definite plans for the parking will be
submitted as part of Phase 2, and the parking requirements will be reviewed at that
time.
Traffic. The Applicant has provided traffic numbers based upon the opening of Phase I
as the initial traffic and secondly the projected traffic after two additional employees are
added. Lee Mann, the City Engineer, and I have discussed the initial and projected
traffic numbers and anticipate that this use will not generate any more traffic than if the
subject area were developed with single family homes.
Lighting. There are no changes planned to the existing site lighting in Phase 1. The
Applicant has stated that security and exterior will be updated and installed as part of
Phase 2.
Signage. The Applicant has indicated that the existing monument sign will be used.
No wall signage is planned at this time.
Animal Restrictions. Overnight boarding of animals will not be allowed as part of the
Conditional Use Permit conditions. Additionally, no outdoor runs for animals will be
allowed. All animal waste shall be disposed of in sealed containers and removed from
the site on a regular basis so as not to create issues with odor. Animals shall always be
leashed or in a carrier when they are outside of the building.
Trash/Recycling. Trash and recycling will be stored in the detached garage at the
south end of Lot 8. Surgeries and dental procedures do not produce waste that
requires special handling or disposal.
Design Guidelines. The Applicant is proposing minor maintenance including new
siding and roofing. These improvements do not require a Design Guidelines/Site Plan
Review. If an additional garage structure is added as part of Phase 2, the design and
site plan review will be required.
Subject to the requests for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for House Paws Home
Veterinary Care at 14231 60th Street North, City Staff would suggest consideration of
the following listed requests subject to the conditions as follows,
® Conditional Use Permit for an Animal Clinic

House Paw Home Veterinary Care is a mobile veterinary practice currently based out of Lake
Elmo, Minnesota. We provide house call veterinary services to dogs and cats throughout the
Twin Cities. We are looking to purchase the property at 14231 60th Street N in Oak Park
Heights.
Division of Lots
Four lots are included with the purchase of this property (Lots 1, 6, 7 and 8). An existing
home business exists on Lot 8, along with a single -stall detached garage. Lots 1, 6 and 7 are
vacant. We do not plan to make any improvements to the vacant lots, Lots I and 6 will be sold,
while Lots 7 and 8 will be retained and likely rezoned into a single parcel.
The structure on Lot 8 is in need of several updates, both interior and exterior. As Phase I Of our
proposed project, we intend to update the interior with more modem renovations, including new
flooring, paint, and appliances. We do not plan to change the size of the structure. Exterior
renovations will maintain a "res identia I -sty le" appearance and will likely include new roofing
and siding, and a small parking lot. The goal of Phase I is to be able to move our office, storage,
and all daily operations to the building.
Parking for our staff and clients will be located along the West side of Lot 8, hidden from view
from the street. The primary entrance to the building will also be located on the West side of the
building. Our goal is to maintain a quiet operation that will not disrupt the neighboring residents,
and to keep all vehicles out of sight on Lot 8.
As a mobile practice, we see 95% of our patients in their homes. We travel in cargo vans, which
need a climate -controlled space for overnight parking. In Phase 2 of the project, we plan to
construct a garage on the North side of Lot 8 that will contain enough space to park four vans.
The exterior of the garage will be compatible with the exterior of the building (ie. a residential
style). During this phase, we will also extend and pave the parking lot. Until Phase 2 is complete,
two cargo vans will be stored on the lot, in the parking lot to the West of the building.
Patients On -Site
One of our primary needs for a new property is to accommodate "in -clinic", surgeries, dental
procedures, and X-rays. We plan to schedule these on-site procedures one to two days per week,
and we will have between one and three clients dropping off pets per day. Pets will be dropped
off between 8arn and 9:30arn, and picked up between noon and 4pm. We do not provide
overnight boarding or care. There will be at least three days per week that we do not see any
patients on-site, and we are never open on the weekends, We will begin to see patients on-site
once Phase I of construction is complete.
