2200 North Maple Street, Suite 309

The applicant has submitted a Major Amendment to a Planned Development Overlay to allow an indoor dog park with on-sale liquor use in the Rushmore Mall. Specifically, the applicant intends to operate the business in Suite 309, located in the eastern end of the Mall. The business, known as “Bar K-9”, will provide an indoor off-leash area for dogs, leashed recreational areas, and a bar serving beer and wine. The subject property is zoned Community Shopping Center-2 District, which lists on-sale liquor use as a Conditional Use within the district. On November 4, 2019, a Determination of Use application to allow an indoor dog park within the Community Shopping Center-2 District was approved by the City Council. The applicant is proposing to relocate the previously approved dog park to an alternate location in the mall. The applicant’s operational plan includes the following details for the business:• A maximum of 30 dogs will be allowed at any one time.• A minimum of 2 to 3 employees will be on site at all times.• The hours of operation will be Tuesday through Friday from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.• Cleaning stations for dog waste will be provided.• “No Barking Allowed” policy will be enforced.• Sound proofed interior walls will be provided. • All dogs must enter/exit through the door directly off the parking lot. • A check-in area and vaccination check station will be provided at the entrance off the parking lot. No kenneling of dogs will be offered or allowed.
