CITY REQUIREMENTS <br />Shoreview No person shall keep more than 3 dogs, 3 cats, <br />3 Vietnamese Pot Bellied Pigs or 4 chickens on <br />residentially zoned property. The total number <br />of combined licensed animals per residentially <br />zoned property shall not exceed 4, with <br />chickens considered as 1 licensed animal. <br />Spring Lake Park Allows 3 dogs over the age of 6 months. If <br />they want more than 3 dogs, then they must <br />apply for a kennel license. <br />Vadnais Heights No person shall keep more than 3 <br />domesticated animals (of which 2 are dogs) on <br />the same premises, unless a kennel license <br />has been obtained. <br />Woodbury The City of Woodbury allows 3 domesticated <br />animals. Woodbury does not have a <br />Residential Kennel License provision in their <br />Code. <br /> <br /> <br />The City currently has six (6) Residential Kennel Licenses, and one (1) Commercial <br />Kennel License. Of the six (6) Residential Kennel Licenses, five have three (3) dogs on <br />the premises, and one has four (4) dogs on the premises. <br /> <br />Items for Discussion <br /> <br />Below are some initial findings that Staff feels may interest the City Council. <br /> <br />• Many cities require cats to be licensed. There are no provisions in the Mounds <br />View City Code pertaining to licensing cats. Would the City Council be interested <br />to add the provisions of licensing cats in the City Code? <br /> <br />• Many cities allow 3 domesticated animals in a residential area. Some cities <br />require a Residential Kennel license after 3 dogs/domesticated animals, and <br />some do not allow Residential Kennel Licensing at all. Would the City Council be <br />interested in allowing more that 2 dogs in a residential area without a special <br />license or permit? Would the City Council include cats in the number? <br /> <br />• Would the City Council be interested in only allowing a certain number of <br />dogs/cats without any Residential Kennel provisions? In other words, the City <br />could authorize only 3 dogs/cats without allowing residents the option for more <br />dogs/cats by applying for a Residential Kennel License. <br /> <br />If the City Council wishes to revise the City Code pertaining to Residential Kennel <br />Licensing, then Staff could have an Ordinance available for a first reading as early as <br />June 22nd City Council Meeting. Attached is the City Code Chapter 701 for your <br />reference. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Desaree Crane <br />
