I actually would be surprised if they limit your argument time, but I guess they could. Greg is right about being concise anyway, though.  You can probably submit a memo in writing if you want to, which lays out the various arguments and evidence and supporting cases, etc.  If you had a lawy

Hideyo,    This is getting a little beyond me, as I do not have any experience with zoning, but if they told you they were giving you a sanctuary permit (as opposed to a permit to just have 18 cats), I think you have an even stronger case.  The government can not approve a status like that o

Hmm.  Wow, I would want to bring up that other woman's case, but you're right in not wanting to jeopardize her. What is the zoning for where you are? If you incorporated as a nonprofit rescue group, could you get a kennel or sanctuary license? Michelle

Michelle -  If I ever forget to tell you, I wanted to you know how grateful I am of your insight on this.  And I will tell all my furry children how much you are helping me and saving their lives!!   Yes, everything you say totally makes sense.  I wish I had something physical to proof th

  I think the next logical step is for you to go to law school!   Ok, if you are going to be before a hearing officer rather than a judge, Greg is right-- the hearing officer probably can not, let alone will not, rule an ordinance invalid. I think you are right to stress the no problem, no n

Thank you, Michelle for you input.  One of my vets is going to do a live testimony, so I think he can testify the below (space needs for different species) on my behalf. I will also look it up about the ordinance form other cities – I know they all have a limit.. but they don’t calculate t
