Palm Springs, CA Animal Ordinances: Pet Groomer Rules (2026)

01(A)(27) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code permits 'Pet shops including pet grooming (no kennel facilities)' by right in the C-D-N designed neighborhood shopping center zone, alongside other neighborhood-serving convenience businesses like barber shops, drug stores and laundromats. 00, is to orient convenience commercial uses directly to the residential neighborhood they serve, and it requires a conditional use permit before the C-D-N zone designation itself is granted and its conditions complied with. The parenthetical carve-out for kennel facilities means a grooming shop cannot also board animals overnight on-site under this listing; a use that adds kennels would fall outside this permitted-use category and would need separate review, likely as a conditional use or in a different commercial zone.

01(B), by resolution finding the use comparable to those listed and not more objectionable than the other permitted uses. 03, covering site design and building placement, and to the citywide sign and property maintenance standards that apply throughout the Zoning Code. A grooming business proposing to locate on Agua Caliente trust land, rather than a C-D-N zoned fee parcel, would not be reviewed under this city zoning provision at all.
