The city of Cedar Park is considering a new ordinance to limit the number of pets a homeowner can legally have reside in their residence. Right now there isn't a limit, but officials point to a rise in animal hoarding in Central Texas and with the advise of animal advocates are considering a limit to number of pets along with the below changes to the ordinance. The proposed limit is a maximum of seven pets.
Residents can voice comments and concerns to officials during a community input meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Cedar Park Recreation Center, 1435 Main St.
Additional changes to the ordinance:
- prohibit animals indoors at food establishments with exception of service dogs
- expand dog and cat registration opportunities
- make the language in line with existing state law
- clarify definitions of language in the laws including clearer definitions for improper treatment, cruelty to animals and dangerous animals
- provide proper legal language regarding enforcement
