City of Encinitas-City Council Appeal: PCIN 13-165
An appeal hearing in front of the Encinitas City Council is being held on 12/11/2013 at 6pm at City Hall (505 South Vulcan Avenue, Encinitas, CA 92024). The issue is to appeal an interpretation made by the Planning Commission on 11/17/2013.
Pacific Coast Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Inc (511 Saxony Place, Suite 100, Encinitas, CA 92024) is requesting the Council overturn the 3-2 vote against allowing animal dental use in a dental clinic space. The established definitions provided by section 30-04 of the Encinitas Zoning code does not define dental as strictly human treatment and defines clinic as a space for both human and animal uses; with this literal interpretation of the code, animal dental use is allowed.
Another concern for the Planning Commission was the potential noise and smell that is often, incorrectly, associated with a veterinary practice. All possible negative impacts have been thoroughly addressed and mitigated in the lease negotiated with the buildings owners. The clinic is a low volume (2-4 cases per day) specialized dental and oral surgical clinic for animals. Cases include root canal therapy on fractured teeth, jaw fracture repair, oral cancer surgical removal and advanced periodontal therapy. In essence, it is a general dentist, endodontic, periodontist and oral surgeon’s office, rolled into one practice for animals.
Noise and smell will not be an issue, even for those other tenants within the same building.
No animals will be boarded after hours and no routine veterinary care treatments/procedures (spay/neuter, vaccines) will be provided.

I have been busy preparing the formal presentation for the upcoming hearing. It is frustrating that we still have to prove that a quiet dental office for pets belongs in our community.

Seeing this level of support for the clinic makes me feel much more confident about our upcoming hearing. Knowing that so many people understand the importance of this specialized care for our pets gives me real hope for a positive outcome.

This business will provide a valuable service to Encinitas and neighboring communities. The use supports the core thesis of the Encinitas Ranch community, and there are comparable uses in this area of town.
The vet cannot be denied permission to conduct his practice because the reasoning was not in the bylaws.
We NEED a good local Veterinary Dentist!
Typical Encinitas politics
This decision is contrary to your own definition. I'm fair ruling.
Invalid reasons for denial.

Support local businesses that make sense and improve lives. Don't let red tape or other influences get in the way. Just make the right reasonable decision for everyone.
