Ordinances

Approval of Ordinance (21-007) An Ordinance of the Village of Bolingbrook, Illinois Imposing a Temporary Moratorium on the Issuance of Licenses for Pet Retailers

Trustees voted to authorize a temporary six (6)-month moratorium on the issuance of business licenses for new pet retailers.  The moratorium will expire August 9, 2021.  This does not affect current pet retail businesses in the Village nor does it affect animal hospitals, animal shelters or retain pet supply stores offering pet supplies and other items ancillary to the ownership of dogs, cats and other domesticated animals.

 

The purpose of the Ordinance is to allow Village staff time to undertake a thorough investigation of the feasibility and necessity of imposing additional licensing or zoning restrictions, in addition to researching the options for regulating the sale of mammals as the surrounding communities have ordinances with varying degrees of regulations and zoning.
