Coconut Creek, FL Animal Ordinances: Veterinary Clinic Zoning (2026)

Veterinary zoning in Coconut Creek sits in the Master Business List sections of the Land Development Code. Section 13-621 covers B-2, B-3 and B-4 and lists "Veterinary clinics (no boarding services)" with a P in B-3 and a P in B-4, both carrying footnote (3). P means permitted use. The B-2 cell is empty. The same table lists a separate "Clinic" and "Medical office" as P in all three districts, but only the veterinary line governs animal patients.

Footnote (3) requires the business to conduct business wholly within a building, with limited outside dog walking permitted. A clinic that adds animal boarding services or outdoor exercise or play areas is pushed into the supplemental regulations of section 13-35(j), "Standards for animal boarding facilities," plus the standard special land use requirements. "Animal boarding services" is an S in B-3 and B-4.

In the industrial districts, section 13-622 lists "Veterinary and kennels" with an S in IM-1 and no entry in IO-1. That S is a special land use under section 13-35, decided by the City Commission by resolution after review by the development review committee and the planning and zoning board.

The business tax receipt schedule in section 18-37 splits vets by boarding. VETERINARY SERVICES: no boarding of animals (221000) is $127.61. VETERINARY SERVICES: with boarding of animals (222000) is $127.61 for the first thirty (30) cages plus $6.35 for each additional cage. An individual veterinarian is a professional classification at $127.61 (179480). Section 18-24 requires zoning conformity before the receipt issues, and the pre-application fee is $25.00.
