VICINITY MAP
Project Proposal: A conditional use permit to operate a pet grooming salon as a Level
II Home Occupation.
Tax Map ID: 0102-001-000-280 Existing Zoning: R-10s, Residential
District
Property Address / Planning Area: Existing 2035 Land Use Plan
3001 Brittany Way / Western Branch Designation: Low-Density Residential

Property Owners: Project Planner:
Crystal & Michael Jones Aaron Bell, Senior Planner
The applicant seeks approval of a conditional use permit to operate a pet grooming salon
as a Level II Home Occupation at 3001 Brittany Way in the Western Branch area of
Chesapeake. The pet grooming salon would be located inside the existing single-family
residence and does not propose using an accessory building or outdoor area for the
business. The applicant has stated that the pet grooming salon would operate by
appointment only and be limited to one customer at a time. The pet would be dropped off
to be groomed and notified when ready to be picked up. The applicant has proposed to
operate the business from 9:00 am. to 6:00 pm., Monday through Saturday, and the
applicant, who resides at the residence, would be the only employee.
The proposed conditional use is located in Brittany Woods, a single-family residential
neighborhood zoned R-10s, Residential District, in Western Branch. As the use does not
propose any outdoor area to be utilized for the business and the hours of operation
generally correspond with the time when people are generally at work.
The space occupied by a Level
II Home Occupation shall not
exceed twenty-five percent
(25%) of the gross floor area of
the residence. According to the
City Real Estate Assessor’s
record, the residence is
approximately 3,522 square
feet; thus, the proposed pet
grooming salon can occupy a
maximum of 880 square feet of
the residence and the applicant
proposes to utilize only 132
square feet of the residence.
The proposed use requires one
(1) parking space in addition to the two (2) that are required for the residence, and the
existing driveway accommodates four (4) vehicles.
The request was heard at the July 14, 2021, Planning Commission Public Hearing where
it was recommended for approval. The applicant was present to answer any questions
from the Commissioners, and the Commission discussion included questions of staff
regarding the number of customers allowed on site at one time.
No one spoke in in opposition to the project, and the Planning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the request.
Staff is not aware of any updates since Planning Commission and recommends approval
of this request as it is currently presented.

STAFF ANALYSIS:
One of the objectives of the Economy Section of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan is to
expand the diversity of the City’s economic base. The City has identified action strategies
as part of this objective to support the growth of the small business community and create
safe working environments. Home Occupations are one way to operate a small business
in a cost-effective manner that also provides safe workplace conditions, and with the
proper conditions, have little impact on the surrounding community.
The proposed conditional use is located in Brittany Woods, a single-family residential
neighborhood zoned R-10s, Residential District, in Western Branch. The 2035 Land Use
Plan designates this area for Low-Density Residential and is in the Suburban Overlay
District. The 2035 Comprehensive Plan contains a land use strategy that states each land
use should be located only on an appropriate site in terms of size, access, environmental
conditions, community facilities, and compatibility with its neighbors. The proposed pet
grooming salon has been reviewed by the City’s reviewing department members and is
determined to have the proper size and access, is served by adequate facilities, and no
adverse environmental issues exist on site. As the use does not propose any outdoor
PLN-USE-2021-012 Rufflections Pet Grooming Page 4 of 69
area to be utilized for the business and the hours of operation will correspond with the
time when people are generally at work, staff finds that the use will be compatible within
a residential neighborhood.
Section 14-302.B of the CZO provides operational standards for home occupations to
assure Level II Home Occupation uses are compatible with residential neighborhoods.
The standard hours of operation for a Level II Home Occupation are from 8:00 A.M. to
6:00 P.M., Monday through Saturday, or as specified by City Council, and the applicant
has proposed to operate the business within these hours. The space occupied by a Level
II Home Occupation shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the gross floor area of
the residence. According to the City Real Estate Assessor’s record, the residence is
approximately 3,522 square feet; thus, the proposed pet grooming salon can occupy a
maximum of 880 square feet of the residence.
In compliance with the
Zoning Ordinance, the
Floor Plan dated May
11, 2021, shows the
proposed pet grooming
salon will occupy
approximately 132
square feet of the
residence. The
proposed use requires
one (1) parking space in
addition to the two (2)
that are required for the
residence. The existing
driveway
accommodates four (4)
vehicles and while the
driveway is not buffered from adjacent residences, the pets will be dropped off and picked
up and be limited to one (1) customer at a time, as stipulated.
The Department of Public Utilities reviewed the proposal and have asked that the
applicant install a backflow preventer on all water systems to prevent contamination
getting into the City’s water lines. Staff has added a stipulation to address this.
The applicant was very receptive to the departmental review comments and agreed to all
the stipulations that staff suggested to ensure the use will comply with the CZO standards
for Level II Home Occupations.
Based on the findings and comments received, staff finds that the proposed use with
stipulations would be consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan, compatible
with the surrounding community, and will have no more adverse effects than would any
other use generally permitted in the same district. Therefore, staff recommends approval
of the request with stipulations.
