<br />commercial kennel license.
<br />(c) It is unlawful for any person to operate

<br />mercial kennel license.
<br />(d) It is unlawful for any person to construct,
<br />keep, maintain or use a kennel structure for one
<br />or more dogs without a valid residential or
<br />commercial kennel license; except that kennel
<br />structures used for not more than two dogs over

<br />(Code 1984, § 5.36(2); Code 2003, § 62-181; Ord.
<br />No. 208(2nd series), § 2, 10-22-2001)
<br />Sec. 5.28.720. Standards.
<br />All kennel licenses are permissive only, grant-
<br />ing limited authority to the licensee according to
<br />the provisions of each license. Kennel licenses
<br />may be issued by the city clerk only after review
<br />and approval by the council. The council shall
<br />review each kennel license application for
<br />pertinent facts and circumstances, including, but
<br />not limited to, location in the city, zoning, lot
<br />size, number of animals, existing or proposed
<br />kennel facilities, including location on the lot,
<br />kennel maintenance, sanitation, keeping too many
<br />animals, nuisance complaints, excessive noise,
<br />running at large, odors perceptible beyond the
<br />property line, commercial activities occurring at
<br />a residential kennel or any previous animal or
<br />kennel license violations by the applicant.
<br />(Code 1984, § 5.36(4); Code 2003, § 62-182; Ord.
<br />No. 208(2nd series), § 3, 10-22-2001)
<br />Sec. 5.28.730. Residential kennel license
<br />standards and require-
<br />ments.
<br />Residential kennel licenses are intended as a
<br />special privilege to be granted upon a showing
<br />that the keeping of more than the allowed
<br />§ 5.28.750
<br />amount of animals and/or a kennel structure
<br />location will not be a public nuisance or otherwise
<br />adversely affect neighboring persons or property.
<br />The council shall have the authority to limit the
<br />maximum number of animals kept at any
<br />residential kennel based upon the kennel
<br />standards listed in section 5.28.720. No residential
<br />kennel license shall be granted unless the property
<br />contains a proper kennel structure or is otherwise
<br />fenced to prevent the dogs from running at large.
<br />Nothing in this chapter shall preclude the breed-
<br />ing of licensed dogs kept at a residential kennel,
<br />the sale of offspring, the occasional sale of licensed
<br />dogs, or the private grooming, training or medi-
<br />cal care of such dogs on the premises.
<br />(Code 1984, § 5.36(5); Code 2003, § 62-183; Ord.
<br />No. 208(2nd series), § 4, 10-22-2001)
<br />Sec. 5.28.740. Commercial kennel license
<br />standards and require-
<br />ments.
<br />New commercial kennel licenses shall be issued
<br />only for property that is properly zoned for
<br />business purposes or for rural residential property
<br />of sufficient acreage to comply with chapter 6.12.
<br />No commercial kennel license shall be granted
<br />unless the property contains a kennel structure
<br />and other enclosed buildings sufficient to oper-
<br />ate the business without nuisance or other adverse
<br />effects on neighboring properties.
<br />(Code 1984, § 5.36(6); Code 2003, § 62-184)
<br />Sec. 5.28.750. License period.
<br />All kennel licenses shall expire on December
<br />31 of each year. Application for renewal of an
<br />existing kennel license shall be made to the city
<br />clerk at least 30 days prior to the expiration
<br />date.
