A. The application for a permit shall contain the name of the applicant, his or her address, the address of the proposed location of the animal, if different from the applicant's, and a brief description of the applicant's plan for keeping the animal which shall include the specie or species of animal, the number of individuals of each specie and a description of the housing facilities for the animal.
B. The initial fee for the issuance of each permit shall be established by resolution of the city council and shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of its issuance unless revoked or suspended. Such fee shall cover either one animal or a collection, and the maximum number of specimens permitted to be kept shall be specified in the permit. Whenever a new animal or collection is added so as to exceed the maximum number permitted, a new permit must be secured and a new fee must be paid subject to the exceptions in Section 9.44.400 of this chapter. The fee shall be due and payable at the time of issuance of the permit and shall be a prerequisite of such issuance. Whenever, in any given permit year, there are new animals in a collection due to the reproduction of members of the collection or due to trade, exchange or replacement in the same number and of the same zoological order as the members of the collection traded, exchanged or replaced, such new animals shall not require an additional permit during that year, provided the animal care services manager is notified in writing of such new animals within thirty (30) days of acquisition.
