DOGTOPIA 
2026 Application" to "Use Permit Application for Continued Operation of Existing 
Outdoor Dog Play Area4901 S. Arizona Avenue, Suite 7 
Chandler, Arizona 
2026 Application 
A. PROJECT OVERVIEW 
Dogtopia of South Chandler is an existing dog daycare and boarding business located within 
Suite 7 of the Shoppes at Chandler Heights shopping center at the northeast corner of Arizona 
Avenue and Chandler Heights Road in Chandler, Arizona. 
The site is zoned Planned Area Development (PAD) for Community Commercial (C-2) uses and 
permits indoor animal daycare and boarding operations. The facility consists of approximately 
5,904 square feet of indoor space and an existing outdoor dog play area located behind the 
building. 
The outdoor dog play area was originally approved by the Chandler City Council in December 
2019 through Use Permit Case No. PLH19-0021. A subsequent extension was approved in 2021, 
followed by approval of Use Permit Case No. PLH22-0041 in 2022, which authorized continued 
operation of the outdoor play area for a four-year period. 
Since construction and commencement of operations in 2020, Dogtopia has continuously 
operated the outdoor play area in compliance with City approvals and conditions. The business 
has maintained the site in a clean and orderly manner, actively supervised all outdoor activities, 
implemented sound management practices, and operated compatibly with neighboring residential 
and commercial properties. 
The outdoor play area has now been operating successfully for approximately five years and has 
demonstrated long-term compatibility with the surrounding area. During this period, the facility 
has not generated any complaints regarding the outdoor play area and has consistently complied 
with all conditions of approval and applicable City requirements. The City's 2022 staff report 
specifically noted the absence of complaints and recognized the successful compatibility of the 
operation with adjacent residential uses. 
B. REQUEST 
The applicant requests approval of a Use Permit to allow the continued operation of the existing 
outdoor dog play area accessory to the Dogtopia daycare and boarding facility.

No expansion, modification, intensification, or operational changes are proposed as part of this 
request. The application seeks approval for continuation of the existing outdoor dog play area 
and its associated operations. 
No changes are proposed to the approved site plan, outdoor play area footprint, fencing, 
occupancy limits, operating hours, parking, circulation, landscaping, or building improvements. 
Given the facility's demonstrated record of compliance, compatibility, and successful operation 
over multiple approval periods, the applicant respectfully requests approval without a future 
renewal requirement, or alternatively approval for the longest duration permitted by the City. 
C. PROPOSAL 
The existing outdoor dog play area consists of approximately 1,000 square feet of artificial turf 
enclosed by an eight-foot privacy fence. The area includes shade structures and dog play 
equipment and is directly accessible from the interior daycare facility. 
The outdoor area is utilized for supervised exercise, enrichment activities, training exercises, and 
socialization opportunities for dogs enrolled in daycare and boarding programs. 
All outdoor activity is supervised by trained staff members, and dogs are never left unattended in 
the outdoor play area. 
The applicant proposes to continue operating the outdoor play area under the currently approved 
operating parameters:

Supervision

No physical improvements or site modifications are proposed. 
D. USE PERMIT APPROVAL CRITERIA 
1. Consistency with the General Plan 
The proposed use is consistent with the Chandler General Plan and applicable zoning 
regulations. The property is designated and zoned for commercial uses, and animal daycare and

boarding operations are permitted within the zoning district subject to Use Permit approval for 
the outdoor activity area. 
2. Ingress and Egress 
The existing site provides adequate vehicular and pedestrian access and continues to comply 
with applicable fire and life-safety requirements. 
3. Off-Street Parking and Loading 
Existing parking remains adequate for the use and no modifications are proposed. 
4. Compatibility with Adjacent Properties 
The outdoor dog play area has demonstrated compatibility with surrounding commercial and 
residential properties through approximately five years of successful operation. 
The outdoor area remains screened by existing site design features, perimeter walls, landscaping, 
and privacy fencing. Operational controls including limited outdoor hours, continuous 
supervision, and sound management practices minimize impacts to neighboring properties. 
The City's prior approvals found the outdoor play area to be compatible with adjacent residential 
uses, and the continued absence of complaints demonstrates that those findings remain valid 
today. 
The successful operating history and absence of complaints demonstrate that the use is not 
detrimental to nearby residents, businesses, or the public welfare. 
5. Impact on Public Services 
The use places no additional burden on public facilities, utilities, schools, parks, or municipal 
services. 
6. Screening and Buffering 
Existing screening, walls, landscaping, and fencing provide appropriate buffering between the 
outdoor play area and surrounding properties. 
7. Signage 
No signage modifications are proposed. 
8. Exterior Lighting 
No changes to existing lighting are proposed.

9. Stormwater Retention and Landscaping 
No modifications are proposed to existing drainage or landscaping systems. 
10. Site and Building Design 
The site and building remain fully developed and continue to comply with applicable City 
standards. 
E. CONCLUSION 
The outdoor dog play area has successfully operated for approximately five years under City 
approvals and has demonstrated long-term compatibility with surrounding land uses. The facility 
has maintained compliance with all applicable conditions, operated responsibly, and avoided 
impacts to neighboring properties. 
The absence of complaints, combined with the successful operation of the facility through 
multiple approval periods, demonstrates that the outdoor play area continues to function as 
intended and remains compatible with adjacent residential and commercial uses. 
The request is consistent with the General Plan, zoning regulations, and applicable Use Permit 
criteria. Continued operation of the outdoor dog play area will not be detrimental to surrounding 
properties, nearby residents, businesses, or the public welfare. 
For these reasons, Dogtopia respectfully requests approval of this Use Permit application and 
approval without a future renewal requirement, or alternatively approval for the longest duration 
permitted by the City.
