pigeons or rabbits to be kept for business or other purposes or uses
on any premises within the city unless a license for that purpose
shall first have been secured from the Department of Health.

use thereof:
A. Is located within a residential district or located
within a residential zone, as the same appears on the Zoning Map of
the City; or
B. Is within 400 feet of any church, library, hospital,

of applicable ordinances and the rules and regulations of the State
Board of Health; or
