Upon the date set for hearing or the date to which said hearing may have been continued, the Board of Supervisors, after having afforded to all persons interested an opportunity to be heard, shall review all findings and evidence in the matter and if said Board of Supervisors is then satisfied that the maintenance of a commercial hog ranch as proposed in said application would not be a menace to public health, safety and the general welfare, or animal health, or be a potential nuisance in the neighborhood, or constitute a potential water pollution problem, said Board may, in the case of a commercial hog ranch where garbage is not to be fed, issue a permit which may be revocable for cause; and in the case of a commercial hog ranch where garbage is to be fed, the Board of Supervisors may issue a construction permit for a period of 60 days, pending the installation of feeding and other equipment. When equipment shall have been installed within said 60 day period such fact shall be transmitted in writing to the County Health Officer, who shall cause an inspection to be made of said equipment and a general re-inspection of the premises. If such inspection shows that satisfactory equipment conditions exist, the Health Officer shall so report in writing to the Board of Supervisors and said Board shall then issue a permit, which shall be revocable for cause. Violation of any provision of this Chapter or the operation of a licensed premise in such a manner as to constitute a nuisance, shall be and constitute sufficient cause for the revocation of any permit issued hereunder. All permits shall specify the maximum number of swine to be allowed thereunder. A permit granted under this Chapter shall not be transferable.
Special pasturing permits for pasturing hogs or swine on premises not included in any commercial hog ranch, may be granted by the Board of Supervisors for a period of not to exceed six months, during any calendar year, provided no garbage shall be fed to such swine while being so pastured. The application for such permit shall be filed with the Board of Supervisors showing the name and address of the owner of the swine to be pastured; the owner of the property upon which said swine are to be pastured; the number of swine; and the location and acreage to be pastured. The fee for issuing a special pasturing permit shall be $1.00.
