Proposed Public Use Limit on Commercial Dog Walking in Area B of the Presidio
**The Public Comment Period Closed February 25, 2013**
Summary of Proposed Action
The Presidio Trust is proposing a public use limit on commercial dog walkers (i.e., persons walking four or more dogs at one time for payment) in Area B of the Presidio. The limit would require commercial dog walkers walking four or more dogs at one time to possess a valid Commercial Dog Walking permit obtained from the City and County of San Francisco (City). Commercial dog walkers with four or more dogs at one time in Area B will be required to comply with the terms and conditions of the City permit as well as those rules and regulations otherwise applicable to Area B of the Presidio. Terms and conditions of the City permit include receiving training, following safe practices for dog care, having insurance, and limiting the number of dogs a commercial dog walker may walk at once to eight. The proposal is expected to improve visitor and dog safety and protect resources in Area B.
