REPORTS FROM STAFF: CITY CODE CHICKEN AND FOWL ORDINANCE DISCUSSION The Community Development Director provided some background information on this topic and its previous consideration.

Mr. Riemer reviewed a brief history of previous consideration of this topic in Little Canada. He reviewed the different ordinances used by other communities. He reviewed some suggestions that they have gathered for a draft ordinance based on the input and experience of neighboring communities. He also reviewed the proposed update to City Code suggested thus far. He reviewed the next steps and welcomed input from the Commission and public. Commissioner Thorson asked if the questions on the survey will align with the proposed updates. Mr. Riemer confirmed that they would be using questions related to the proposed changes. Commissioner Masrud referenced the accessory building rules and asked if that would apply to a dog run. The Community Development Director replied that dog houses and gazebos are exempt from the standards at this time. She confirmed that there is a limitation on the number of accessory structures a property could have. Commissioner Masrud commented that would seem conflicting as someone that wants chickens would most likely have a shed as well. Commissioner Boe asked if there would be more details in the draft ordinance. Mr. Riemer confirmed that there would be additional details as this was created to spark discussion and gain input.
