Redding, CA Animal Ordinances: Veterinary Clinic Zoning (2026)

020-A, the use-regulation table for Redding's "NC" Neighborhood Commercial, "SC" Shopping Center, "RC" Regional Commercial, "GC" General Commercial, "GC-VR" visitor-retail overlay, and "HC" Heavy Commercial districts, lists "Animal Sales and Services" as permitted ("P") in SC, RC, GC and HC, but only as an "L8" small-scale use of 5,000 square feet or less in the NC district, and requires a site development permit ("S") in the GC-VR sub-designation. The table's additional-regulations column attaches one condition city-wide: "Adjacent to an 'R' District, outdoor kennels prohibited," so a veterinary office or boarding kennel bordering a residential zone cannot keep animals outdoors regardless of which commercial district it sits in.

60 as "office and medical treatment facilities used by veterinarians for large animals," is permitted only in "GC" General Commercial and "HC" Heavy Commercial districts, marked "-" (not allowed) in NC, SC, RC and GC-VR. That split means a small-animal veterinary clinic has far more zoning options across the city's commercial corridors, while a large-animal practice serving horses or livestock is confined to the two most intensive commercial district types. 40's general development standards for parking, landscaping, and buffer yards whenever a commercial use sits next to a residential district.
