The amendment. is proposed to: . - <br /> 1) eliminate inconsistencies between the Animal Control <br /> Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance, and <br /> 2) to expand the definition of kennel to include provisions <br /> for the rehabilitation of wildlife. <br /> Inconsistency with Animal Control Ordinance <br /> The current definition of kennel provides for the lodging and <br /> boarding of domestic pets. There is no reference in the <br /> _ ordinance pertaining to breeding of animals. Because land <br /> uses not expressly permitted by the Zoning Ordinance are <br /> • prohibited, the effect of the Ordinance is to prohibit <br /> breeding kennels in the zoned townships. The Planning <br /> Department believes that this was not an intent when the <br /> ordinance was adopted. <br /> Two classes of kennel permits are issued by the Department of <br /> Animal Control: <br /> • <br /> Class I - For persons owning or keeping six (6) to <br /> nineteen (19) animals for: <br /> A. Showing, competition, hunting or sport. <br />
