Informal Ms. Linda Estrada and Mrs. Chris Bennett approached the Board
Hearing regarding the rezoning of a property located at 10342 S. Normandy from
a R1 to a C2. Animal'Welfare would like to purchase this property and keep
the home and the garage there to use for a meeting area and for storage of
all fundraising material. There will be no kennel's, no dog runs, and no one
would be living or staying at this property. They would like to pave the back trailers. Animal Welfare now covers 52 communities and needs this
opportunity to grow. They currently have 3 shifts and 126 employees.
