If, upon review by the animal control authority, the animal control authority verifies that the owner/applicant is the owner, or if a tenant has the written permission of the property owner as specified in AMC 6.16.060, and if all of the applicable rules and regulations of the animal control authority have been met, the animal control authority shall certify the exotic animal as properly registered and the owner is lawfully entitled to use the premises for the possession or maintenance of the exotic animal(s) specified in such registration; provided, however, that the animal control authority shall inspect the premises and confinement cage or other proposed confinement device to ensure all standards required for confining exotic animals as required by rule or regulation have been met. If, however, the cage or confinement device is deemed inadequate, the animal control authority may deny the registration. Where appropriate, the owner/applicant may be required to make such changes as necessary to meet the standards required before registration is approved. (Ord. 1105-15 § 1).
