When the Zoning Ordinance is amended to restrict or prohibit the maintenance of an animal or bird which was previously permitted under this Chapter, the owner of the affected animal or bird shall have 30 days from the date such amendment is adopted to remove the animal or bird and bring the property into compliance.

Within the thirty-day compliance period, an owner of an affected animal or bird may apply to the Planning Commission for additional time in which to comply. The request shall be made in compliance with the provisions for a Conditional Use Permit contained in this Chapter (Section 30-26) and the request shall include the number of affected animals or birds maintained on the property on the day preceding the adoption of the applicable limitation; the purpose for which the animals or birds are maintained; the length of time the animals or birds have been maintained on the property and the length of time needed to come into compliance with the new ordinance and the private loss that may result from coming into compliance. No fee shall be charged for processing a request for an extension submitted during the thirty-day compliance period.
