A. Commercial Permits: It is unlawful for any person to operate or maintain a kennel, cattery, pet shop, groomery, riding stable, veterinary clinic, animal hospital or any similar establishment unless such person first obtains a regulatory permit from the City, in addition to all other required licenses. All applications for permits to operate such establishments shall be submitted, together with the required permit fee, on a printed form provided by the City or its designee. Before the permit is issued, approval must be granted by the Salt Lake Valley Health Department. The City or its designee must review the permit application for compliance with the City's planning and zoning ordinance.
B. Display Of Permit: A valid permit shall be posted in a conspicuous place in each establishment, and the permit shall be considered as appurtenant to the premises and not transferable to another location. The permittee shall notify the City within thirty (30) days of any change in the establishment or operation which may affect the status of the permit. In the event of a change in ownership of the establishment, the permittee shall notify the City immediately. Permits are not transferable from one (1) owner to another.
C. Renewal Of Permit: Any permit issued pursuant to this section shall automatically expire on December 31 immediately following date of issue. Within two (2) months prior to the expiration of the permit, the permittee shall apply for a renewal of the permit and pay the required fee. Any application made after December 31, except an application for a new establishment opening subsequent to that date, shall be accompanied by a late application fee in addition to the regular permit fee.
D. Exemption: Research facilities where bona fide medical or related research is being conducted, and other animal establishments operated by State or local government or which are licensed under Federal law are excluded from the licensing requirements of this chapter.
E. Inspections: All establishments regulated under this chapter shall be subject to periodic inspections by the City or its designee.
