Recommendation <br />Staff recommends allowing a total of 4 chickens on lots all lots less than 2.5 acres. These are the lots that <br />will typically be located in the urban service district (i.e., R1-b, R1-c, and R1-d zoning district) or on lots <br />with shared sewer and water in the Open Space Preservation zoning district. <br />Staff also recommends allowing 12 chickens without a CUP on parcels above 2.5 acres, but below five <br />acres outside of the of the urban service district (i.e., R1-a zoning district). These lots would need to <br />follow the same permitting and design standards as those identified for smaller lot sizes. This number can <br />be increased with a CUP to meet the existing agricultural animal regulations. <br />Setbacks <br />Survey Results <br />Setback Requirments <br />Survey Results <br />4% <br />City Code Research <br />■ On the property line <br />■ At least 5 feet <br />• At least 10 feet <br />■ At least 20 feet <br />■ Blank <br />Minnesota City <br />Property Lines (min) <br />Adjacent Inhabited <br />Structures (min) <br />Anoka <br />5' <br />5' <br />Burnsville <br />10' <br />50' <br />Hastings <br />25' <br />25' <br />Jordan <br />25' <br />25' <br />Otsego <br />Required Setbacks of Principal Buildings <br />in Respective Zoning District <br />Doubled Side Yard Setback <br />- <br />Ramsey <br />10' <br />30' <br />Rochester <br />Meet accessory structure setbacks <br />25' <br />Shakopee <br />10' <br />50' <br />Shoreview <br />Meet accessory structure setbacks <br />30' <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends limiting the location of coops and runs to be the rear yard of a property, and requiring <br />a 10 foot setback from side and rear property lines. If the property is a corner lot, front yard setbacks will <br />be required from all property lines adjacent to streets. Coops and runs may not be located in drainage and <br />utility easements and need to meet all additional accessory structures requirements outlined in the zoning <br />code. The coop and run area will count towards total lot coverage. Additionally, a 25 foot setback from <br />adjacent inhabited structures is proposed. This includes neighboring homes. <br />N:\Departments\Commiuiity Development\Phiuiing\Case Files\OA\OA 17-03 Chickens\4-Miming Commission\OA 17-03 sr PC 03-28-17.docx <br />
