Document Description
After-the-Fact Coastal Development Permit, Planned Agricultural District Permit, Architectural Review Permit, and Kennel Permit to allow a dog walking operation for a maximum of 75 dogs per day within a fenced 23-acre portion of a 150-acre parcel located in San Gregorio. The project includes legalizing a five-stall carport structure and three cargo storage containers that support the dog walking operation. No grading and no tree removal is involved. The CDP is appealable to the California Coastal Commission. An existing legal cottage onsite is being redesignated as an affordable housing unit in the northern portion of the property to relinquish a density credit for the Smilin Dogs operation; no physical site or building changes are proposed for the living unit redesignation.
