7 | Board Member Teague said the planned development amendment is not included as a separate resolution and asked if that would require City Council action. Andrew Thomas, Acting Director of Planning, Building, and Transportation, said they are approving the project with a site specific amendment and are not changing the rules for the broader development agreement. He said approving the final development plan for the project would be sufficient to give force to the amendment. Board Member Teague asked the applicant if a restriction on free running animals in the run area at night would pose a problem. John Lipp, Executive Director of FAAS, said that the animals would all be completely inside at night and only be outside with staff and volunteers during the daytime. President Sullivan asked whether the shade structure on the roof was included in the listed height. Staff Member Sablan said the parapet height was 30 feet and the pavilion was an additional ten feet. He said it was open on one side. Marisa Tye, project architect, said the pavilion encloses the stairs and a storage area. She said there are areas open to the shade, and some covered areas for uses like handwashing and garbage. President Sullivan asked what type of outreach was conducted with the immediate neighbors. Mr. Lipp said they sent letters to the homeowners and knocked on doors. He said they spoke with three of the five immediate neighbors and had good conversations. Board Member Teague asked the applicant whether the project would be untenable if the City Council did not approve the zoning change allowing the outdoor run. Mr. Lipp said they would like to be able to socialize the dogs in groups using the run, but could possibly use the same model as their other facility where they have to take the dogs off of the property for exercise. Board Member Rothenberg asked if the applicant considered using any type of sound wall along the property lines. Mr. Lipp said they want to be a good neighbor and said they are engineering the facility to modern best practices for noise mitigation. He said this is good for the neighbors and for the animals.
