Every person or entity desiring to own or possess more than four dogs or four cats, or any combination thereof, shall first make application to the City Clerk, on an application form furnished by the City Clerk, for a license, and shall, at the time of submitting the application for approval, submit a petition signed by 80% of the property owners located within 300 feet of the kennel’s location, granting approval of the kennel and its location. It is the duty of the City Clerk, upon receipt of such application and petition, to notify the City Inspector or the designated representative appointed by the Business Manager that the application has been filed. The City Inspector or designated representative appointed by the Business Manager shall inspect the location site of the kennel, and shall determine whether the kennel complies with all ordinances of the city, county, state, and federal laws or regulations, including health and safety. If the application, petition, and investigation are deemed satisfactory and acceptable, the applicant shall be notified and shall pay a license fee of $10, at which time, a kennel license shall be issued.
