this is inaccurate. according to the municipal code:
19.08.425 Kennel, commercial.“Commercial kennel” means any lot or building in which four or more dogs and/or cats, at least four months of age, are kept commercially for board or propagation or treatment. No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind shall be kept, raised or bred on a lot except that dogs, cats or other household pets may be kept, provided they are not kept, bred, or maintained for any commercial purposes.
