RESOLUTION NO. ,
RESOLUTION DENYING A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO
ROBIN RUBEN FOR AN EQUESTRIAN
CENTER FOR BOARDING AND TRAINING, RIDING
AND RIDING INSTRUCTION AT 4555 PIONEER TRAIL
WHEREAS, Robin Ruben (Applicant), with the consent of Tom Kellin
(Owner), has applied for a conditional use permit to operate an equestrian center
on the property located at 4555 Pioneer Trail (Property); and
WHEREAS, the Applicant proposes to board and train up to forty horses,
allow the owners of such forty horses to ride at the facility and to offer riding
instruction to the horse owners and others at the Property; and
WHEREAS, the Property is zoned rural residential; and
WHEREAS, use of the Property to board and train horses, allow up to forty
owners to ride their horses and offer riding instruction constitutes a commercial
riding stable, not a stable for the owners' personal use and not a personal horse
farm, and is not permitted by the City's zoning ordinance in the rural residential
zone; and
WHEREAS, "farms," including horse farms, are a permitted use in the rural
residential zone; and
WHEREAS, "kennels and riding stables" are permitted by conditional use
permit under the City's zoning ordinance in the rural residential zone but only for
the private, noncommercial use of the property owner; and
WHEREAS, the City does not grant conditional use permits for commercial
kennels or riding stables in the rural residential zone; and
WHEREAS, the Property is currently under a 1986 conditional use permit
requested by the Owner which explicitly confines the use of the horse facility to
the property owner and requires that all horses kept on site be owned by the
property owner; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant did not demonstrate the adequacy of the site with
regard to the matters of concern to the Medina planning commission as outlined in
the minutes of the April 10, 1990, planning commission meeting attached hereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Medina that the Applicant's request for a conditional use permit is hereby denied,
for the following reasons:
1. The Applicant's proposal to use the Property to board and train up to forty
horses, to provide a riding area for the owners of such horses and to offer
riding instruction to such horse owners and other customers constitutes the
operation of a commercial riding stable;
2. A commercial riding stable is not permitted as of right or by conditional use
permit in the rural residential zone; and
3. There exist substantial and unresolved questions regarding the adequacy of
the existing on -site septic system, the availability of a viable alternative
septic site as required by city code, parking and numerous other site
problems if it were to be put to a commercial use.
