The results show support for an ordinance amendment to permit chickens on smaller lots throughout the city. Staff used this feedback to begin amending the ordinance,and the next step of that process will be a public hearing at the Planning Commission next Tuesday, March 28, at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. This meeting is open to the public, and we welcome feedback from anyone that wishes to show up. The staff report,proposed ordinance changes, and the survey results are attached.Also,a summary of the proposed changes is as follows: (1) No roosters or guinea fowl. (2) No more than 4 chickens are allowed on parcels below 2.5 acres in size. (3) A total of 12 chickens are allowed on parcels 2.5 acres to 5 acres in size. The number of chickens can be increased with a conditional use permit for this in the urban service area. (4) Every person who owns, controls, keeps, maintains, or harbors chickens must keep them confined on the premises at all times in a chicken coop or chicken run. Chickens are not allowed in any part of a house or accessory structure. (5) No chicken coop or run shall be constructed on any parcel of land before construction of the principal building. i
