Background
Ross Elton is proposing to open a new veterinary clinic on the southeast corner of Aberdeen Street and 125th Avenue. The clinic will be located within a tenant space in an existing multi-tenant building. The tenant space that he will take over was previously a gas station and is on the west end of the building.
There will be no boarding of dogs at this location unless medically necessary. The hours of operation will be Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. There will be 3 employees at the clinic along with Dr. Elton.
Parking would generally be the City's main concern with a use such as this but this center has an adequate number of stalls for this use and the other retail uses in the building.
The building currently has a fire suppression sprinkler system however some modifications may be required.
As a reminder all signage and temporary signage is issued under a separate permit.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
