ITEM:
Discussion on any and all matters regarding Ordinance No. 358. An ordinance of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona amending the San Luis City Code Title IX, Chapter 95 relating to animals by adding Section 95.03, Personal Dog Kennels; repealing any conflicting provisions; establishing an effective date and providing for severability. (Marco Santana, Police Department Sergeant)
SUMMARY:
The City of San Luis is experiencing problems related to the over-population of dogs. The solution, is to be sure the dogs are well cared for. Where a person in residential zones owns more than six (6) dogs the proposed Ordinance requires a personal dog kennel permit which has kennel requirements for space, sanitation, and elimination of excessive noise. The ordinance proposes an annual permit and ability to revoke the permit if the standards for a personal kennel are not met. Service Animals for the disabled will not be counted towards the maximum six (6) dogs. Puppies up to 3 months of age will not be counted so that if a pet has a litter, there will be sufficient time to find homes for the puppies. There is an emergency provision to protect dogs that are rescued dogs in foster care.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
DISCUSSION ITEM ONLY, NO ACTION.
