Summary

Dog grooming shops in unincorporated Glenn County are zoned as a personal service use in the Community Commercial District, allowed only inside a fully enclosed building that is open to the public no earlier than 6 a.m. and no later than midnight.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Glenn County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Full Breakdown

020, the permitted-uses list for the CC Community Commercial District, groups dog grooming with barber and beauty shops, tailors, laundromats, dance and art studios, photocopying centers and photography studios under the heading of personal services. and twelve midnight, and it must operate without drive-through facilities. A groomer wanting to add outdoor kennel runs, overnight boarding, or a drive-up drop-off window would fall outside this by-right permitted use and would need to look at the animal hospital and kennel provisions elsewhere in Title 15, which require a conditional use permit in most residential and several commercial zones.

Because the CC district permitted-use list is where grooming sits, a groomer operating in the C Commercial zone or an industrial district needs to check that zone's own use table rather than assume the CC rule carries over automatically. 13 applies to new commercial tenant improvements, so a grooming shop moving into an existing CC-zoned building can often proceed without a full site plan review if the use is already listed as permitted in that building's zoning district.

Violations & Fines

Running a dog grooming business outside the hours of six a.m. to midnight, without a fully enclosed building, or with an added drive-through component in the CC district is outside the permitted use and can be treated as a zoning violation subject to the county's Title 15 enforcement provisions, including required correction or discontinuance of the noncompliant portion of the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I open a dog grooming shop in unincorporated Glenn County?
Yes, in the CC Community Commercial District. Glenn County Code Section 15.40.020 lists dog grooming as a permitted personal service, provided it operates inside a completely enclosed building without drive-through service.
Are there set hours for a Glenn County pet grooming business?
Section 15.40.020 limits businesses in this use category, including dog grooming, to being open to the public between six a.m. and twelve midnight; hours outside that window fall outside the permitted use.
Can a groomer add outdoor kennel space under this rule?
No. The permitted use in Section 15.40.020 requires the business to be completely enclosed within a building, so outdoor kennels or boarding runs are not covered and would need separate review under the county's kennel and animal facility provisions.
