Performance standards provide the criteria for evaluating requests submitted through the Administrative Use Permit process (see Section 9269 of this Code), certain other use permits, and specific allowed uses that require minimal discretion and review. The performance standards listed in this Article are intended to explicitly describe the required location, configuration, design, amenities and operation of specified uses. The performance standards also mitigate potential adverse impacts on the neighborhood and maintain harmonious uses in the area. The performance standards are consistent with the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan. (Ord. 1257, §15, adopted 2025)

A.    Purpose and Applicability. The provisions of this Section establish performance standards for the noncommercial keeping of certain animals within the City of Ukiah.

All other animals commonly kept as pets or for personal enjoyment (e.g., fish, dogs, cats, potbellied pigs, reptiles, birds, hamsters) are exempt from these standards unless separately regulated by the Ukiah Municipal Code or determined by the Community Development Director to pose a nuisance or health risk.

This Section does not apply to commercial livestock operations, which are governed by Division 5, Chapter 2 of the Ukiah City Code.

Furthermore, roosters, turkeys, ducks, geese, and swine, are prohibited in all zoning districts within the City except for the Agricultural Exclusive (AE) and Combining Agricultural (-A) zoning districts, in which this use is subject to the permitting requirements set forth in Article 10 or Article 13 of this Chapter as appropriate.
