Chapter 7.28 - Licensing and Impounding Fees The proposed ordinance simplifies this chapter in light of the suggested revisions to the definition chapter (7.04) as discussed above. The proposed ordinance deletes §7.28.030 because this provision is addressed in Chapter 7.12. The proposed ordinance revises (and re-numbers) the current §7.28.040 to use the term "service dog" in lieu of "seeing eye dog" to reflect that service dogs provide assistance in ways other than helping a person who is visually impaired. Chapter 7.32 - Rabies The proposed ordinance simplifies this chapter in light of the suggested revisions to the definition chapter (7.04) as discussed above. Chapter 7.36 - Miscellaneous Animal Regulations The proposed ordinance simplifies this chapter in light of the suggested revisions to the definition chapter (7.04) as discussed above. The proposed ordinance deletes §7.36.050. This revision would allow pet stores to sell baby chicks, rabbits, ducklings or other fowl as pets. Pet stores often do not sell baby chicks, rabbits or ducklings at Easter, or puppies or kittens before Christmas, in order to ensure that the animals will be cared for on a long term basis, rather than for a short tenn. Chapter 13.08 - Parks and Recreation Facilities The proposed ordinance amends §13.08.080 to specifically address dogs in the various public parks in Pleasanton, including the Softball Complex, Val Vista soccer fields, dog exercise facilities and Augustin Bemal Park. Section §13.08.080(B) in the proposed ordinance includes the Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation that dogs (leashed or unleashed) be prohibited from the fenced soccer fields at Val Vista Community Park. Dogs on a leash and accompanied by an owner would still be allowed in other areas of the park, including the small, unfenced, informal field that is used for soccer practice and casual recreation. The proposed ordinance also prohibits dangerous dogs, as defined, in Augustin Bemal Park and other public parks. When the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance, it recommended that the term "trails" be explicitly referenced in the Code in order to expressly address dogs at large on trails because a number of trail users have been observed with their dogs (on and off leash). Sections 13.08.020 and 13.08.080(A) of the proposed ordinance make explicit that dogs may not be at large on trails tmless an exemption applies. SR:05:163 Page 4 of 5.
