On Wednesday the City Council voted unanimously to approve an ordinance amendment that would allow keeping chickens and other domestic fowl within the city limits.
The amendment to the code will still require that a resident first get a permit from the city manager before chickens may be kept. The permit would only be issued after a finding that the fowl won’t cause a public or private nuisance, or be detrimental to property values, or human health or safety.
Your web administrator here is pro-chicken and did ask every candidate that stopped to talk in last year’s election campaign where they stood in the chicken subject. Surprisingly a few were totally unaware. Tsk.
