Walkin' the Dog has been in operation since receiving a SRU permit in 2002 from the Town and a renewal granted by the PZC to Walkin' the Dog in June 2024. Marissa Lahman of Walkin' the Dog ("Applicant"), is not requesting any modifications or changes to the existing SRU. Since the original approval, the Town has not received any complaints regarding the business. Additionally, the applicant has noted that they have not received complaints from neighboring businesses or others within the complex, nor have they experienced any noticeable strain on parking availability at Metcalf Commercial Park. Overall, the applicant indicates that the use has integrated successfully into the existing business environment. Since the previous review, the only new criterion is a parking requirement for daily animal care kennels requiring at least two dedicated spaces or an equivalent pull -off for drop-off and pick-up near the entrance. The applicant has confirmed the facility provides three dedicated spaces, including two for drop-off and pick-up, located near the unit entrance, and is meeting this requirement. The 2024 SRU approval authorized the following: • Operation of a dog kennel with daycare hours from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., seven (7) days per week • Accommodation of up to seventy (70) dogs per day (an increase from 50 dog capacity which was approved in 2006); • Overnight boarding of up to twenty (20) dogs (previously no overnight boarding was permitted?); and • Access to the facility's outdoor area between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., seven (7) days per week PROCESS: As a condition of the previous approval, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration, the holder of the special review use permit may apply for a review hearing before the PZC. The PZC shall review the use against the Special Review Use Review Criteria to determine whether the special review use will be allowed to continue. Failure to extend this permit shall require a new SRU permit application approval or result in the cessation of the previously approved use. STAFF PZC ANALYSIS & PUBLIC HEARING REPORT 5/1112026 PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: Notice of the public hearing was published in the May 1, 2026, edition of the Vail Daily in accordance with Sec. 7.16.020(d) of the Avon Development Code ("ADC"), as well as in areas 970-748-4014 cperez@avon.org designated for Town notices (Town Hall, Public Library, Avon Elementary, and Avon Rec Center). Mailed notice is required for Special Review Use applications. The notice was sent to property owners within 100 feet of Walkin' the Dog on May 1, 2026. No public comments have been received for this application. SPECIAL REVIEW USES, REVIEW CRITERIA — ANIMAL FACILITIES Avon Municipal Code includes requirements for Special Review Uses including Animal Boarding, Animal Hospitals, Kennels, and Veterinarian Clinics (AMC §7.24.060(e)).

SRU24001 RECOMMENDED MOTION: " 1 move to approve the special review use pert -nit for Walkin' the Dog to operate a kennel and overnight -boarding based on the findings and proposed conditions as recommended by Staff as outlined in the staff report. " Findings: The application for an animal -service related business, including kennel and boarding, qualifies as a viable use to be reviewed per to §7.16.100 Special Review Use of the Avon Development Code. The proposed business complies with the provisions of (AMC §7.24.060(e)- Special Review Uses — Commercial — Animal Sales and Service) with the exception of the proposed hours and proximity to the anticipated residential development on the opposite side of Metcalf Road. The proposed use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and all applicable provisions of this Development Code and applicable state and federal regulations as conditioned. The proposed business operation represents some consistency with the purpose and intent of the zoning district in which it is located and any applicable use -specific standards in the Development Code. The proposed use is compatible with adjacent uses in terms of scale, site design and operating characteristics. There are no significant impacts to adjacent or on -site uses as conditioned, with the exception of increased dog waste, vehicle and pedestrian traffic to the site. Facilities and services (including sewage and waste disposal, water, gas, electricity, police and fire protection and roads and transportation, as applicable) are available to serve the subject property and will not necessitate upgrades or cause additional demand beyond existing levels of service for this development: and Adequate assurances of continuing maintenance are satisfactory. SRU24001 — Walkin' the Dog Special Review Use Application May 13, 2024 Page 6 of 7 General Criteria Findings: 1. The development application is complete; 2. The development application provides sufficient information to allow the reviewing authority to determine that the development applications comply with the relevant review criteria. 3.

The demand for public services or infrastructure exceeding current capacity does not require mitigation. Recommended Conditions: 1. The permit is valid for twenty-four (24) months; at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration, the holder of the special review use approval may apply for a review hearing before the PZC. 2. Hours for outside operations and access are limited to 8am — 5pm, seven (7) days per week 3. Dog waste is cleaned up and removed from the site within twenty-four (24) hours of its appearance; 4.

Approximately one and a half acres fenced yard. 24hour onsite boarding service for up to 20 dogs (of the 70 dog capacity) "this would be a new service at this location. Daycare hours 6am to 8pm / 7 days a week Playyard hours 8 am to 5 pm 'on adjacent land leased for exercising dogs. All services are completely supervised. Dogs never left unattended. All premises kept clean and maintained at the moment of use. Walkin' The dog, which has been in business as a hiking and boarding service since 1997 and a daycare facility in Avon since 2002 is applying for a permit to operate a dog daycare at 281 Metcalf Rd. Metcalf Commercial Park. Merrill and Marisa Lahman are the owners of unit 201 at Metcalf Commercial Park. The services we would like to continue to offer are indoor daycare, outdoor play yard (on the land adjacent to our unit 201 leased from Steve MacDonald since 2006) and overnight care/ boarding within the facility/unit 201, `this would be a new service at this location. Daycare hours of operation would be between 6am and 8 PM. Overnight staffing would include an overnight shift so that no dogs are left unattended providing 24-hour care. The walking area right outside of unit 201 within the Metcalf Commercial Park boundary lines would be utilized for bathroom breaks for overnight clients in an as needed basis for after hours. Playgroups for the dogs at daycare would happen only during the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM. Our lease with Steve MacDonald owner of 111 Metcalf Rd. has language and an understanding that all dogs on that property, the play yard, are supervised at all times. Walkin' The Dog ethos is to always have the dogs supervised. We've had an excellent history and track record of the care we've provided for the Valley residents for 26 years. Due to demand, repeated request, and trends in dog ownership we would like to increase the capacity of dogs to 70 where it has been at 50 since 2006. Our history has proven we are frequently at capacity and turning away request for daycare. Along with the increased amount of "local" residents and second homeowners that are staying in the valley for longer periods of time, combined with the current trend of most household having one pet, if not two, we will be able to utilize the daycare for more clients on a day-to-day basis. Overnight care has always been done in our (Merrill and Marisa's) home and we would like to utilize the facility for our overnight clients. Historically, the pet care operations in the valley are booked during vacation seasons, holidays, and school breaks. With careful consideration, we would like to offer boarding up to 20 dogs per night. The 20 would be part of the 70 in daycare already - not in addition to. As previously stated, we would have supervised boarding, including a shift (not a residency) that would cover the overnight hours. This is Walkin' The Dog's standard to have complete supervision of the dogs to attend to any possible issues that may arise. We also want to point out that Metcalf Commercial Park currently has a myriad of businesses that offer evening hours. This will not be a new concept to Metcalf Commercial Park. Examples are: Black Tie Ski Rentals, Venture Sports, Buzzes Boards, Motion Auto Haus, High Five Media and other businesses that come and go at their own discretion at any time for their private units. We are in compliance with the state of Colorado and have been, successfully, for the past 22 years since acquiring a license to operate dog care facility in the state. We are asking that the TOA recognizes that we have had an established and well run business with no complaints or negative interruptions to any of our nearby residence and workers for many years. In addition, we have maintained a nice relationship with each business at the Metcalf Commercial Park throughout the years and feel that we will be able to continue that even with the additional services we are requesting. We respectfully ask the TOA to consider our track record for providing the best possible care for all the dogs we have been directly responsible for in the past decades to approve this request for our daycare and additional services. We believe it's what the Valley residents would want. Thank you, Marisa Lahman �... i Wi�� t ... w ` `. •RI"� . �1 '�"'t� ^ •� �Y7' My } tT_. �.� ,^�'�✓ Y c•Tl ;' r-_ i$ _tr ..'
