Except as provided herein, all authority and provisions of Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of this Environmental Health Code (E.H. Code) shall apply to this Article. Prior to placement of an educationally oriented animal husbandry project as specified by the San Bernardino County Development Code § 84.03.030(b), a completed application from the Department of Environmental Health Services (DEHS) of the County of San Bernardino for a permit to operate an animal project within this jurisdiction shall be filed with that amount listed in the San Bernardino County Code Schedule of Fees as an application fee paid to DEHS. On the DEHS application form, the applicant shall submit the following information: (1) Signature of applicant’s parent or guardian; (2) Signature of applicant’s youth organization advisor or counselor; (3) The signatures of all residents within a radius of 300 feet from the perimeter of the proposed animal project location. Such signatures shall indicate that the applicant has provided notification of the animal project proposal to each resident; (4) A plot plan to indicate location of the animal project, proposed structures, and surrounding residential structures; (5) The application shall include a proposed expiration date; however, the Director of DEHS reserves the right to make the final determination on the length of time for which the permit will be issued, after which the permit shall be automatically revoked and the project shall discontinue operation. The applicant may request an extension of up to six months as approved by the Director and also may submit a new application. After the Director of DEHS has given the application an initial review, and determined that the applicant can comply with the effective provisions of this Article and the provisions of the San Bernardino County Development Code, a notice of intent to issue a permit to operate shall be forwarded to those neighborhood residents within 300 feet of the project, notifying them that a permit will be issued within 14 days unless otherwise appealed to the Director. During this 14-day period, any resident within 300 feet may file an appeal to the Director. This appeal shall be heard by the Planning Commission Subcommittee of the County of San Bernardino. If the appeal of the denial of the issuance of the permit is sustained by the Planning Commission Subcommittee, that decision shall be forwarded to the Director and a permit to operate shall not be issued. There shall be no further administrative appeal to the denial of issuance of the permit to operate. In the event the Director’s initial review indicates the applicant cannot meet the said provisions of this ordinance, the Director shall deny the permit. The applicant may appeal this denial to the Planning Commission Subcommittee by filing a written appeal with the Director within ten days of the denial date. If at any time the animal project is deemed to be in violation of applicable Environmental Health or Development Code regulation of this jurisdiction, the Director of DEHS or authorized representative shall issue the permit holder or the parent or guardian thereof a written notice to appear before a hearing officer of DEHS to show cause why the permit to operate should not be revoked. After evidence has been presented to the hearing officer of compliance or noncompliance, the Director shall make a determination and may order the permit to be revoked if sufficient cause is shown. Administrative hearing procedures shall generally follow those set forth in Chapter 2 of this E.H. Code. (Ord. 3105, passed - -1986)

It shall be unlawful for any person or entity to violate any provision of this Article. Except as provided herein, all remedies and penalties of Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of this E.H.
