Yuba City, CA Animal Ordinances: Veterinary Clinic Zoning (2026)

7001). 1502, the district meant as a transition between retail commercial and light industrial uses. The qualifier matters: both use tables condition by-right status on there being no outdoor boarding, so a clinic with exterior kennel runs, outdoor holding pens or a boarding yard falls outside the permitted listing and would need a use permit or a different location. 3502's use table lists "Veterinary hospital" only in the Use Permit column, requiring the same discretionary review as a dog or cat kennel in that district, while ordinary agricultural uses like crop farming or livestock keeping are permitted outright.

The Agricultural Combining District table also requires a use permit for a dairy or for poultry and rabbit slaughtering and processing, underscoring that it is boarding, overnight housing and animal-related nuisance potential, not veterinary medicine itself, that pushes a use into discretionary review. A veterinary practice across the Feather River in Marysville or elsewhere in Yuba County answers to those jurisdictions' separate zoning codes, not Yuba City's.
