Zones where a kennel (dog boarding) can go
Anderson's code calls this use “Dog kennels / kennel and animal hospitals”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.
| Zone | Status | Code |
|---|---|---|
| M-1 Light Industrial | Allowed | § 17.24.020 |
| M-2 Heavy Industrial | Allowed | § 17.26.020 |
| R-E Rural Estate | Needs an use permit | § 17.14.030 |
| AG Agriculture | Needs an use permit | § 17.16.030 |
| NR Natural Resource District | Needs an use permit | § 17.30.030 |
What else applies
- M-1 and M-2 uses must be conducted within an enclosed building (S18).
- Not covered here: Zone C-1 allows "Uses permitted in any R district" with a use permit (S13 A): not expanded per use; Chapter 17.02 definitions (family care home, child day care use) are not in the packet. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
