No person shall keep any animal or fowl enumerated in the preceding section within 1,000 feet of any residence (other than owner's), place of business, or public street, as measured in a straight line from the nearest points on property lines, without a permit from the Animal Control Officer. The Animal Control Officer shall issue a permit only when, in his or her sound judgment, the keeping of an animal in a yard or building under the circumstances as set forth in the application for the permit will not injuriously affect the public health.
