Riverside County Ordinance 348 permits veterinary clinics in commercial and limited industrial zones, with overnight boarding and outdoor runs requiring conditional use permits and noise-buffer setbacks from residences.
Veterinary hospitals in unincorporated Riverside County are permitted by right in C-1, C-P, and CPS commercial zones under Ordinance 348. Overnight boarding, outdoor exercise yards, and large-animal facilities trigger conditional use permits with public hearings, residential setbacks, and noise studies. Equine and livestock veterinary practices fit better in agricultural zones. Medical waste handling follows California Medical Waste Management Act rules. Cremation services require Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) permits. Clinics adjacent to residential zones must mitigate barking through soundproofing and limit outdoor times.
Boarding without a CUP, residential setback violations, or unpermitted outdoor runs trigger code-compliance abatement, fines starting at $250, and possible permit revocation.
