A PUBLIC HEARING AND AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 210, ARTICLE II, SECTION 210.260 GENERAL ANIMAL, LIVESTOCK, BIRDS AND DOMESTIC FOWL REGULATIONS
Mayor Sanger opened the public hearing and requested proof of publication. City Manager Owens reported that on September 24, 2013, the Board of Aldermen amended the Domestic Fowl Regulations with the intent of ensuring greater compatibility between properties that chose to keep geese, ducks, chickens or turkeys, and those that don’t, by aligning the existing ordinance with setback requirements for accessory structures and ensuring safe and sanitary conditions as set forth in the City’s nuisance codes. The revised regulations also required a permit and inspection of the facilities before domestic fowl may be housed on private property. Raising back yard domestic fowl is an extension of an urban farming movement that has gained popularity nationwide.
