A. The City finds that animals kept or controlled by patrons of commercial campgrounds, travel trailer parks, carnivals and similar outdoor events open to the general public, present a special hazard to other patrons and guests using those facilities even if the animal is otherwise restrained by leash or tether.
B. No person staying as a renter, guest or invitee at any camping space or pad at any campground or travel trailer park, or other place or event described in subsection A of this section, which is located in the City, may have charge, care, custody or control of any animal at such place unless that animal is totally enclosed within a solid structure, such as a portable kennel, run, cage or similar enclosure or in a motor vehicle which is adequately ventilated or is on a leash or tether physically controlled by that person. The fact that the animal in question is otherwise tethered or not violating any other provisions of this title at the time in question shall not be a defense to a charge of violating this subsection.
C. Any animal being kept at any campground, travel trailer park, or other place described in subsection A of this section, in violation of this section may be impounded by any police officer or a City designee at any time a violation occurs without prior notice to the person having charge, care, custody or control of the animal.
