Roseville, CA Animal Ordinances: Pet Groomer Rules (2026)

090(B) of the Roseville Municipal Code sorts animal-related businesses into four Commercial Use Types. Subsection (B)(1), 'Grooming and pet stores,' includes grooming or selling of dogs, cats, and similar small animals with limited indoor boarding; the code lists dog bathing and clipping salons, pet grooming shops, and pet stores as typical examples. That classification is distinct from subsection (B)(2), 'Kennels,' which covers indoor and outdoor kennel services, including boarding kennels, pet hotels, and dog training centers, and which the city's zoning use tables generally restrict to fewer, more industrial or commercial districts because of the added noise, odor, and animal-control concerns of full boarding.

020(A), a proposed grooming business must fit squarely within the 'Grooming and Pet Stores' definition, limited indoor boarding only, to be sited wherever that use type is a permitted or conditionally permitted use in the applicable zoning district's use table. 040 requires it to be reclassified according to its actual characteristics, which typically means it must relocate to a zone allowing the 'Kennels' use type or obtain a Conditional Use Permit there. 80.
