requires a Conditional Use Permit. In an attempt to increase conformity and control, <br />staff has amended restrictions for the allowance of a private kennel to a minimum of <br />one (1) acre of land, and will no longer require residents to obtain a Conditional Use <br />Permit. A private kennel license will be granted only after an inspection reveals that <br />adequate safeguards are present to protect the surrounding neighborhood from <br />nuisances, and to ensure compliance with Chapter 503 and Chapter 1007 (Zoning <br />Ordinance). This amendment can be found in Section 503.10, Kennel Licenses. <br />3. Regulations regarding dangerous and potentially dangerous animals have been <br />revised to be consistent with MN State Statutes. This area is not thoroughly addressed <br />in the existing ordinance. <br />4. Text has been added in Section 503.12 to address the keeping of pigeons, as staff <br />has become aware that a licensed pigeon handler lives in Lino Lakes. <br />5. The current code contains a clause that allows farm animals to be kept as pets in <br />residential neighborhoods. The City has received numerous citizen complaints <br />addressing this issue. In an attempt to reduce the number of nuisance complaints, <br />Chapter 503 has been revised to restrict that farm animals, as defined, will be <br />prohibited in residential districts. Provisions will allow for existing animals to remain at <br />the time of ordinance adoption. This amendment can be found in Section 503.17, Farm <br />Animals. <br />The adoption of revised Chapter 503 will require that certain definitions and sections be <br />amended in Chapter 1007, Zoning Ordinance. Staff will present the amended Chapter <br />1007 to the council following approval of revised Chapter 503. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff is recommending approval of Ordinance No. 03 -08. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
