The Bourne Planning Board has deferred making a decision on approving a dog training facility in downtown Buzzards Bay. Board members decided to continue the matter until a site visit could be held that would provide members with additional information about the business and its location.
The matter was taken up by the planning board during its remote Zoom meeting May 27. The business, To the Rescue Canine Training, would open in the building at 10 St. Margaretâs Street in Buzzards Bay. The building currently houses Bubbaâs Motor Sports.
Assistant town planner Jennifer Copeland explained to the board that the use table for the downtown business district does not include dog training facilities. Ms. Copeland added that, if the board were to permit the use of the building for the business, it would have to determine that the use âwill not be detrimental to other uses within the district or to the adjoining land uses.â
