Title: Amending Sacramento City Code Section 9.44.370 Relating to Number of Swine, Dogs, and Cats per Dwelling Unit
Summary
The City of Sacramento is considering an amendment to Section 9.44.370 of its City Code, which regulates the number of swine, dogs, and cats that can be kept in residential units. The proposed changes set specific limits: a maximum of three swine, three dogs (or four if all are spayed/neutered and over four months old), and seven cats over eight weeks of age. This amendment aims to enhance animal welfare, reduce nuisance complaints, and ensure public health and safety. It aligns with the city's goals for responsible pet ownership and reflects current best practices in animal care. Additionally, the changes are expected to generate increased licensing revenue for the city.
