Item No: 08E <br />Meeting Date: February 27, 2023 <br />Type of Business: CB <br />City Administrator Review: <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Second Reading of Ordinance 1001, Amendment to Chapter <br />90, Section 90.005 Increasing number of chickens allowed from <br />8to12. <br />Introduction: <br />At a previous council meeting, council consensus was to bring forward an Ordinance <br />Amendment to allow the number of chickens kept from 8 to 12. This was initiated by a <br />resident. <br />Discussion: <br />Attached is resolution 1001 which amends from the number from 8 to 12 and corrects a <br />misspelling. K & G attorney Joe Sathe also provided some additional changes council <br />may want to consider as detailed in the attachment. <br />Council asked staff to "survey" other cities. Staff did not do a comprehensive "study" but <br />can share Hastings, Falcon Heights, Coon Rapids, Plymouth, and New Hope all allow 4 <br />chickens. One of those allows more if the property is greater than one acre. <br />Recommendation: <br />Council can amend the number from 8 to 12 or any number they wish. Council may want <br />to consider some of the suggestions from K & G. If Council wishes more discussion there <br />is capacity on the April workshop to discuss further. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Nyle Zikmund <br />City Administrator <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
