(Avoca) The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors approved the first consideration of an ordinance that changes the zoning of approximately five acres of land east of Avoca from Class R-2 (Urban Transitional) to Class C-1 (Highway Commercial).
The approval followed a public hearing in which there were no comments against the zoning change.
Jessica Luke told the Supervisors that she plans to build a kennel and a stable on her property located at 45615 Highway 83.
Ray’s DogHouse, founded in 2016, will continue to provide pet boarding, training and handling and eventually branch into the grooming division. The new Jacobsen Equestrian Center will provide expert horse boarding, management, and equine care.
The Supervisors set the date for the second consideration of the ordinance for October 22nd.
The Board also approved the first consideration of an ordinance to amend the Pottawattamie County Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 8.045 Highway Commercial District. Matt Wyant, Director of Planning and Development, said this changes language to allow commercial kennels in the C-1 Highway Commercial District. There were no comments on this change during the public hearing. The second consideration is set for October 22nd.
