Criteria for permitting the increase are as follows: 1. All cages, pens, runs and similar structures can be constructed in accord with Chapter 18.27 (Building Permits may be required). 2. Odors and smells can be contained along with noise levels in accord with Section 9.52.060. 3. The facilities must be in accord with accepted standards of animal care. 4. The facilities must not allow animals to roam or fly to adjacent properties. The Planning Director will impose such conditions upon the permit as may be necessary and will require that all cages, pens, runs, and other structures be maintained in a safe and sanitary condition, free from odors and smells and of such structural soundness that animals will, under normal circumstances, be unable to escape. A yard enclosed by a fence at least six feet in height and resistant to tunneling will normally be considered proper enclosure for dogs. The facilities must be maintained and constructed so as to protect animals from injury and illness. Facilities must regularly be cleaned, food supplied, bedding changed, and waste disposed of so as to maintain the premises in a clean and sanitary condition, free from insects, rodents, weather and odors at all times. Structures must be constructed so as to protect all animals from the elements. There must be facilities for appropriate exercise, movement, and sleeping. There must be adequate drainage to prevent the ponding of water and mud. Manure, excreta, and other animal waste and carcasses must be disposed of in a sanitary fashion. Conditions may be imposed which will result in the construction of easily maintainable, sanitary facilities.
