What: proposed rules on keeping chickens in the city.
Where it stands: a staff proposal was discussed by the Business and Economic Development Committee on 2026-09-09 (the tail of the minutes was not read).
Follow-up memo after 2026-09-09: staff recommend up to 4 chickens on lots of 0.49 acres or less and up to 12 laying hens per acre prorated on larger lots, keep setbacks and permit/inspection requirements, add language on feed cleanup and containment. Rules would be adopted with the new Land Development Code.
