§ 6.28.020. Application for license.

Application for kennel and pet shop licenses shall be made at either the office of the finance director or such other office or location as shall be designated by the town manager. Each application for a permit under this chapter shall be in writing upon a form to be furnished by the director of animal control and shall contain such information as the director of animal control, by rule or regulation, shall require.

A.

All licenses issued by the town as required by this chapter shall expire on June 30th of each year, unless sooner revoked or suspended, or unless the holder of such license changes the location of their place of business, or sells, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of such business or their interest therein for a period of thirty days. Upon failure to make application for renewal of such license within the time herein provided, the applicant shall pay, in addition to the regular license fee, an additional fee as established by the town council by resolution.

B.

All licenses issued hereunder shall be kept posted in a conspicuous place on the licensed premises.

C.

Upon the filing of each application hereunder, either for an original license or a renewal thereof, the supervisor of animal control or his designee shall make such investigation as he deems proper, which includes at a minimum those subjects listed under subsections A, B and C of Section 6.28.025. He shall then issue a license to the applicant if he finds that:

1.

The keeping of animals, or the conduct or operation of the business for which the license is requested will not violate any law or ordinance of the town, or any law of the state of California; and

2.

The premises and establishment where animals are to be kept is maintained in a clean and sanitary condition and the animals will not be subject to any suffering, cruelty, or abuse; and

3.

The applicant has not had a license revoked within one year prior to the application. (Ord. 200 §2(part), 1990)
