Title
NEWPORT ANIMAL HOSPITAL EXPANSION (PA2019-268)
Site Location: 21159 Newport Coast Drive
Recommendation
Summary:
A request for a conditional use permit for the expansion of an existing 1,766-square-foot animal clinic for domestic pets into a 1,500-square-foot adjacent suite. The expansion will result in a 3,266-square-foot clinic. The hours of operation are from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., daily. Animals no larger than the largest breed of dogs will be given medical and surgical treatment and the facility is primarily for the treatment of outpatients. Only critical patients will be kept longer than 24 hours and boarding is not proposed. The applicant expects to assist 10 to 40 clients per day. If approved, this conditional use permit would supersede Use Permit No. UP2010-026, which would be rescinded.
Recommended Action:
1. Conduct a public hearing;
2. Find this project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 under Class 1 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and
3. Adopt Resolution No. approving Use Permit No. UP2019-060.
