Lawrenceville narrows definition of kennel

The Lawrenceville City Council voted recently to change some of the language in the definition of a kennel. Based on Planning Commission recommendations, the city zoning ordinance will no longer define a kennel as containing “5 or more dogs.”

Under the change, a kennel is now defined as an establishment for the breeding or boarding of dogs where there are 4 or more dogs over the age of three months kept, maintained or housed, “regardless of whether such dogs are kept for business or profit purposes.”
