Request for Special Exception for Private Animal Shelter at Railroad Ave, High Springs

A request is made for a special exception to allow a Private Animal Shelter within an 8.18-acre area on Railroad Ave in High Springs. The site has a history of agricultural classification and was previously cited by Code Enforcement in 2006. After complying with initial conditions, including a limit of 300 cats, a legal challenge arose, and the original special exception was invalidated in 2008. A new application proposes to allow 250 cats, with 280 observed at the last inspection. Planning Commission recommended denial in April 2009, with ongoing public hearings.
