4. Benton County Code, Chapter 11.50.040 Conditional Use.11.50.040 (a) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- GENERAL STANDARDS. The conditional use permit application process allows the Hearings Examiner to review the location and design of certain proposed uses, the configuration of improvements, and the potential impacts on the surrounding area. The application process also allows the Hearings Examiner to ensure that development in each zoning district protects the integrity of that district. The notice, hearing, decision and enforcement procedures are as set forth herein and in BCC 11.50.050.

Certain uses are classified as conditional uses because of their unusual nature, infrequent occurrence, special requirements, or potentially significant impacts to the environment, public infrastructure or adjacent properties, and/or possible safety hazards and other similar reasons.

Once granted, a conditional use permit may be transferred by a holder thereof after written notice to the Hearings Examiner; provided the use and location must remain the same and the transferee must continue to comply with the conditions of the permit and, if applicable, the requirements set forth in Chapter 11.51 BCC.

11.50.040 (d) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- PERMIT GRANTED OR DENIED. A conditional use permit shall be granted only if the Hearings Examiner can make findings of fact based on the evidence presented sufficient to allow the Hearings Examiner to conclude that, as conditioned, the proposed use:

(1) Is compatible with other uses in the surrounding area or is no more incompatible than are any other outright permitted uses in the applicable zoning district;

(2) Will not materially endanger the health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding community to an extent greater than that associated with any other permitted uses in

Pit Bull Pen, Dog Kennel, CUP 2020-013Page 5 of 11

the applicable zoning district;(3) Would not cause the pedestrian and vehicular traffic associated with the use to conflict

with existing and anticipated traffic in the neighborhood to an extent greater than that associated with any other permitted uses in the applicable zoning district;

(4) Will be supported by adequate service facilities and would not adversely affect public services to the surrounding area; and

(5) Would not hinder or discourage the development of permitted uses on neighboring properties in the applicable zoning district as a result of the location, size or height of the buildings, structures, walls, or required fences or screening vegetation to a greater extent than other permitted uses in the applicable zoning district.

It is the applicant's burden to present sufficient evidence to allow the above conclusions to be made. If such evidence is not presented or all necessary reasonable conditions are not identified by the applicant so as to allow the Hearings Examiner to make the conclusions required above, the conditional use application shall be denied.

The Pit Bull PenWhat we do

The Pit Bull Pen is a 501c3 all volunteer organization focusing on the pit bull breed. The Pit Bull Pen does accept other breeds into our program if we can help the dog and no other rescue group has stepped up. Our dogs come from many sources including animal control agencies, owner surrenders, found dogs, abuse intervention, or born in custody to mention a few.

The Pit Bull Pen does not accept dogs with a history of aggression towards people or behavioral issues that we are not able to address. We have several trainers and many volunteers capable of working with less than perfect dogs. Although we try to screen the dogs before we take them into our program, we cannot always be 100% knowledgeable about their history. Getting the dog into a safe environment, necessary vet care, and a reliable meal is our first concern when we learn about a dog in danger.

The Pit Bull Pen is asking to be able to house up to 20 dogs on the premises. We are foster based and we value the ability our fosters have to provide a much more homelike environment while our dogs decompress and learn how life can be instead of what it has been. Our intention is not to keep 20 dogs on site, but to alleviate the risk of being over our allowed number if we temporarily take extra dogs or have an adoption event, play date, training or other dog involved activity. We get a lot of calls for help when animal control services are closed, during storms, holidays where there are fireworks or other loud commotion and pets get scared and lost. The Pit Bull Pen understands that we are NOT animal control, nor do we want to be, but we can provide temporary help to the animals in need when these services are not available.

Our Process

INTAKE-The Pit Bull Pen receives requests to take dogs from the public, other rescues, animal control (not local), humane societies, networkers trying to save death row dogs. We have received dogs from California, Texas, New Mexico, Oregon, Idaho and all over Washington. Individuals wishing to surrender their dog fill out a surrender application, and then an assessment on the dog is completed. The dog is taken into our program if space or a foster is available, ffif space is not available, the dog is entered into our Responsibull Rehoming program where the dog remains with owners until they get adopted, a space at the site opens, or a foster is able to take them.

Animal control, shelters, other rescues or organizations will transfer dogs to us. A team of individuals, that often including trainers, assesses the dogs physically, mentally and behaviorally. We accept medical cases immediately if necessary and provide the care needed to sustain life while we get a foster established.Dogs housed at The Pit Bull Pen rescue centers are normally those being worked with on

behavioral issues, medical cases, or moms with puppies. Our goal is for no dog to be on site longer than 3 days and for our dogs to be adopted within 30 days, but some dogs need more than can be provided in that timeframe.

Once a dog is evaluated, we vaccinate, microchip, worming, spay/neuter, provide training, and provide them with healthy, good food. ALL our dogs receive these services as well as any temporary strays or found dogs. In addition, if we see any signs of parasites we treat for those as well. Medical supplies are kept on site and provided to our fosters so that minor wounds so minor medical treatment can be provided immediately upon arrival. Any dogs needing more than basic care is taken to one of our local veterinarians. The Pit Bull Pen has worked with Menks Mobile, VCA, Banfield, Paws Claws and Hooves, Animal Hospital of Pasco, Mid-Columbia Medical Emergency Services, Pet Medical Center, and Horse Heaven Urgent Care.

ADOPTION- Adoption applications are processed through our website. 5-7 board members review each application. Background checks are conducted. Interviews are conducted if we have any concerns or need more information. A home check is done through pictures or video with the COVID limitations and will be done in person when allowed. A meet and greet is scheduled and if it is a love match, the dog leaves to go live with his new forever family.

FOLLOW UP- Once a dog is adopted, The Pit Bull Pen requires weekly check ins to ensure the dog is adjusting well to their new home, is being provided for, and is safe, happy, and healthy.IF the dog is not adjusting well to the new environment, we may recommend training or remove the dog so a better suited home can be found for the dog. IF an owner is not providing appropriate care, The Pit Bull Pen will immediately remove the dog from the home and take the dog back into our program.The Pit Bull Pen is in this for the life of the dogs we place into homes. Any of our dogs can be returned at any time for any reason.

Facility

The Pit Bull Pen facility consists of a 2.5-acre parcel of land with a 48x48 building being remodeled to suit rescue needs. This building will allow adequate space for up to 20 5x5 portable kennels if we use the large training room. Details are on the building plan as well as outlined below.

OutdoorsThe Pit Bull Pen has an existing 6' chain link fencing around the areas of the property where the dogs are allowed to exercise and be off leash. We have 5 separate yards with the ability to cross

fence to create more safe areas for future growth. We will complete fencing across the front of the building this summer. We are able to keep dogs from reaching the road or other properties if a dog should escape from a smaller secured area. This has proven effective. More fencing will be added until the entire property has a 6' fence.

The property is about 50% used with more area in the back to allow expansion of play areas.No dogs are to be housed outside in the play areas. Dog houses are located in each area for shade and quiet time, but mostly the dogs sit on top of them for a better view. There are pergolas being fabricated for additional shade as well as plans for agility equipment, interactive toys, and an area for water play.

We have a yard completely separated from any other yard for difficult dogs that can't be near others without proper training or socialization. Once the dog has been properly trained or socialized, the dog will be integrated into larger play groups.

Sod is being placed in the yards with rock around the edges for potty areas that will be cleaned daily as described below.

IndoorsThe Pit Bull Pen building is a stick built 48x48 foot structure with ten foot high ceilings. There will be an approximately 21x24 foot area that is designated for personal use as we are only allowed to use 1800 square feet.We have divided this into the following areas per the floor plan but please keep in mind that our 5x5 foot kennels are portable and can be configured in an unlimited number of ways, but for this purpose I am showing the use of 10 kennels. When we have fewer dogs they can have larger spaces.The 5x5' kennels are a welded wire panel that is more secure than chain link panels. We have found that some chain link is easy for a fat headed pit bull to push through essentially bulldozing his way out. Our outdoor fencing is all heavy duty chain link with a wire at the bottom to prevent them from pushing through and we test them with Trish TickiT's dog Lucky who is a skilled escape artist.We also have 20 smaller kennel units that stack on a wall to create a "kennel bank", and can be used for smaller dogs, puppies, injured dogs, or to quarantine a sick dog. They range in size from approximately 2'x2' up to 2'x6'. Each is a separate unit and they can't be combined like the 5x5' kennels can be. These will be installed on the front wall of the main kennel room.The 14x24 back room will hold 2 kennels, kennel bank in between as well as a sink, bathtub, refrigerator, counter space, supply storage for medical and other supplies.The lobby is 16x24 and will have an intake kennels for dogs coming in and/or going out for adoption or foster. This arrangement keeps everyone safe and in control and will eliminate

inappropriate dog interactions in the lobby area. There will be chairs, counters, merchandise area ,and control access to the kennels and play areas so that nobody can enter without coming through the lobby.Behind the lobby is a large room 25x24' that can be used for training classes, adoption events, kennels if needed temporarily for extra dogs, socializing space, meetings and more.

Emergency Plan

Escaped dogs- First step is to confirm if the dog is still on the property. If the dog is still on the property, all gates will be checked to ensure they are closed so the dog will be contained on the property. Next, calmly locate the dog and contain it inside a play yard or the building depending upon the situation, even inside a car, until the dog can be leashed and returned to its appropriate area.

If the dog has left the property, the first step will be to determine which direction the dog is traveling in. All board members will be contacted to help in the search efforts. In addition, a Facebook post may be made to ask for assistance in helping search for the escaped dog. The Pit Bull Pen has a good network of volunteers who are willing to help search and catch dogs. Last, the dog will be labeled a flight risk and a GPS collar will be placed on it.

Bites- Separate the offending dog from the injured party, secure dog away from others dogs and people until an assessment can be made.Assess injury and determine if medical attention is needed.If medical attention is required take injured person or dog to the medical facility or vet for treatment.If no medical attention is needed then we discuss what happened, why and how to prevent it from happening again.If the bite broke skin, the dog is placed on a 10 day hold, a report is made to the BF Health Department. The Pit Bull Pen then evaluates why the event happened, the risk of the event reoccurring, and what steps can be implanted to stop the reoccurrence of the event.

If the dog is aggressive towards humans and no other remedy is acceptable or the bite is bad enough with no fault to the human, we discuss training options, transferring the dog to another rescue group better suited to handle the behavior issues, or discuss euthanizing the dog.

Natural Disasters- Fire, Flood, Wind storm, etc.

Assess the dogs and secure them first. We have enough portable crates to have one per dog plus more if needed. We also will have small 2x2 kennel banks for smaller dogs and there are

20 of those.Check the grounds for damages, if damages are present then begin repairs to secure everything.Consult with authorities about what to do if it is more than we can manage.If dogs are in danger get them moved to a safe location like Petsmart or a building where dogs can be in crates or kennels. We are already set up with Tammy Falkner for disaster situations to use crates or get supplies during any given situation. She does Red Cross disaster relief and always checks in with us during any event such as a fire.

Volunteers

Our volunteers screened through applications, background checks, and interviews are conducted at the site. Those we do not understand how to appropriately interact with our pit bulls are not allowed to do so without supervision. We have 10 individuals who are relaxed with and capable of handling any dog on sight once introduced properly.

There are many activities needing done that do not involve working directly with the dogs and there are usually puppies or other breeds available for volunteers to work with.We have always offered group training as well as individual sessions with our trainers for fosters, volunteers, and board members. Once our building is complete and depending upon COVID-19 procedures, we hope to be using the training room for volunteer orientations as well as training classes with several different trainers from Petco, Mattox Training and others we have worked with.Volunteer training will be REQUIRED for all volunteers, as we are always learning something new. We are putting together a volunteer packet with information about the rescue as well as policies and procedures manuals so that everyone is as safe as possible while at the site or in the community representing The Pit Bull Pen.

Waste Disposal

Indoor waste is always cleaned up with an appropriate cleaner and rags or paper towels depending upon the volume & viscosity. We use potty pads with dogs who are not potty trained yet. All waste and materials used to clean soiled areas is deposited into a garbage bag or other plastic bag and placed into the trash receptacle provided by waste management then picked up once a week. We currently have 2 large receptacles on sight. This procedure has been cleared by Benton Franklin Flealth Department as well as the Department of Ecology.The septic tank for the home will be moved outside the well radius of 100 feet and is outlined on the site plan. Group B water system approval is conditional upon this modification and has been applied for. Septic modification application will be made as soon as we're set with a contractor and drainage for the sink, tub and washer in the shop will be discussed with BFFID at that time.

Just Some StatisticsMany of our adopters have adopted more than once from us. We have placed dogs in California, Canada, Oregon, Idaho and Washington with about a 2% return rate. In 2019, The Pit Bull Pen placed 150 dogs into their forever homes. Over 500 dogs and a couple cats have passed through our care with 99% of them still in loving homes. Every board member, volunteer and supporter invests emotionally, monetarily and physically in The Pit Bull Pen. Our heart, and mission is to build a safer community for the pit bull dogs that are too often feared, discarded by society, and misrepresented by the media.The Pit Bull Pen is one of the top local rescues and we are quickly approaching 10,000 followers on Facebook, can generate funds for expensive medical cases, and followers send us supplies when we need them. The Pit Bull Pen has arrived!!!Now we need to get this facility up and running, so we continue in our mission to help a greater dog of dogs in need.

Not sure why this has drug out so long.

Greg, Rod, Steve, Clark & Dale -

As you're all aware, Pit Bull Pen (Trickit) is pursuing a CUP for their operation at this time. From the materials submitted, it appears their plans and application are in good order.

Based on our (pre-application) discussions amongst county staff, we understand the building to be only partially complete to conditions that were provided through priori CUP efforts. I had mentioned to both Trickit and our staff when anticipating the CUP application, that it may be necessary to complete on on-site visit to determine the current status of building and any conditions that may be required.

I'm curious if any of the county staff feel the need to schedule a time to visit Pit Bull Pen? I do want to also mention the email (below) received last week. I have responded to Ms. Trickit to hold on her efforts until she hears response from us.

At this time, CUP materials are out for agency review - Comments due 8/28 (next Friday).

Please grab my attention and let me know if you feel a visit is desired, or shoot a "reply all".

Thanks -

Brian
