1 ORDINANCE NO. 62]3 <br /> <br /> 2 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, <br /> AMENDING TITLE 8 OF THE RIVERSIDE MUNICIPAL CODE <br /> 3 RELATING TO ANIMALS BY ADDING TO SAID TITLE A NEW <br /> CHAPTER 8.19 REGULATING POT BELLIED PIGS. <br /> The City Council of the City of Riverside, California, <br /> 5 <br /> does ordain as follows: <br /> 6 <br /> Section 1: Title 8 of the Riverside Municipal Code is <br /> 7 <br /> hereby amended by adding thereto a new Chapter 8.19 to regulate <br /> 8 <br /> pot bellied pigs within the City of Riverside, which new <br /> 9 <br /> Chapter 8.19 shall read as follows: <br /> 10 <br /> "Chapter 8.19 <br /> 11 <br /> POT BELLIED PIGS <br /> 12 <br /> Sections: <br /> 13 8.19.010 Purpose. <br /> 8.19.020 Definition. <br /> 14 8.19.030 Administration and enforcement. <br /> 8.19.040 License, compliance with regulations. <br /> 15 8.19.050 Licensing procedures. <br /> 8.19.060 Issuance, term, renewals. <br /> 16 8.19.070 Regulations. <br /> 8.19.080 Revocation of license. <br /> 17 <br /> 8.19.010 PURPOSE. Miniature pot bellied pigs are <br /> 18 increasing in popularity as domesticated pets and the <br /> keeping of not more than two such animals on any single <br /> 19 family residentially zoned property, excluding the RA-5 <br /> and RC Zones, is permitted in the City of Riverside. <br /> 20 However, as such animals are still livestock <br /> notwithstanding size, the keeping of such animal needs to <br /> 21 be closely regulated and controlled to insure that such <br /> animal does not become a nuisance or danger to the <br /> 22 general public and the neighborhood in which it is kept. <br /> The City Council finds that the keeping of pot bellied <br /> 23 pigs so as not to create a nuisance can be reasonably <br /> accommodated by licensing and other restrictions. <br /> 24 <br /> 8.19.020 DEFINITION. For the purposes of this <br /> 25 chapter, the words 'pot bellled pig' shall mean a <br /> domesticated miniature Vietnamese, Chinese, or Asian pot <br /> 26 bellied or pot belly pig not exceeding one hundred <br /> twenty-five pounds in weight and eighteen inches in <br /> 27 height measured at the shoulder. <br /> <br />Attorney's Office <br />Street <br />CA 92522 <br />782-5567 F: \WPDATA~ORD\95000101.
