The Metropolitan Planning Commission in Junction City has recommended approval for a special use permit for a new veterinary clinic on the west side of Junction City, pending some site plan modifications.

The Planning Board endorsed the project proposed by Dr. Theresa McCreath for a site at the intersection of Strauss Boulevard and South Spring Valley Road.

The facility will serve only small animals. McCreath explained the plans include runs inside for larger dogs. “There will be kennels inside for smaller animals for treatment, for sick, keeping things like that.” As far as outside runs are concerned she indicated it will be off the back west door on the northwest corner of the building. Those would be small enclosed-in pens.

Public testimony during the Planning Board meeting was supportive of the proposed project. The special use permit request now goes to the Junction City Commission for consideration.
