• <br /> Dog and Cat Ordinance Survey S <br /> August 8, 1997 <br /> Page 2 <br /> 2. All indoor facilities are constructed of concrete floors and chain link fences. <br /> 3. All the kennels lock their animals inside at night for both the pets protection and to avoid <br /> the possibility of disturbing the neighbors. <br /> Next Steps: The Planning Commission held a discussion session on this issue on July 16, 1997. <br /> At that time, staff presented a preliminary proposal which would: <br /> • Amend Chapter 701 to require licensing of both dog and cat commercial kennels. <br /> • Distinguish between pet keeping and kennels. Allow for any combination of dogs and cats <br /> which add up to four animals as pets in residential districts. <br /> • Require a conditional use permit for kennels. Allow kennels in the R-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, <br /> and I-1 districts on any property having at least one acre, with approval of a conditional <br /> use permit <br /> This proposal seemed reasonable to the citizens in attendance at the meeting. There was some <br /> sentiment that kennels should be prohibited in any residential district. <br /> • <br /> The City may want to consider reducing the lot size requirement in the business and industrial <br /> districts, if the property does not abut residential, given the cost of commercial land. <br /> Staff will be preparing an ordinance amendment for discussion by Planning Commission and by <br /> City Council. We do not have a time line for when this will be before City Council because of <br /> staff changes. <br /> N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\SPECPRO]\SP054.971SURVEY.MEM <br /> • <br />
