Title
Amending Sections 28.211, 28.151, 28.032, 28.061 and 28.072 of the Madison General Ordinances to regulate Home Dog Breeding and Sales.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS:  The zoning code does not currently regulate the home breeding and selling of dogs.  This amendment will change that by creating a new use, Home Dog Breeding and Sales, which applies to any home where more than one litter of puppies is bred or sold.  
This amendment allows the home breeding and selling of dogs in the City, but is subject to two specific supplemental regulations, which require that the home is the primary residence of someone who is either a licensed dog breeder under Wis. Stat. ยง 173.41 (applicable to persons selling 25 or more dogs per year) or an American Kennel Club (AKC) sanctioned breeder.  
The practical effect of this ordinance is that home dog breeding and sales of more than one litter will be allowed only homes occupied by a state licensed or AKC certified dog breeder.
