(A) Definition of “kennel”. The keeping of three or more dogs on the same premises, whether owned by the same person or not and for whatever purpose kept, shall constitute a KENNEL; except that, a fresh litter of pups may be kept for a period of three months before that keeping shall be deemed to be a KENNEL. Licensed veterinary clinics, located in non-residential areas are excepted from the definition of KENNEL.
(B) Kennel as a nuisance. Because the keeping of three or more dogs on the same premises is subject to great abuse, causing discomfort to persons in the area by way of smell, noise, hazard and general aesthetic depreciation, the keeping of three or more dogs on the premises is hereby declared to be a nuisance and no person shall keep or maintain a kennel within the City.
(Prior Code, § 901.06) Penalty, see § 91.99
