The City’s <br />requirements will typically specify that the chickens must all be hens, no male roosters permitted on the <br />property to avoid noise concerns. The application indicates compliance with this condition. <br />CITY CODE RELATED TO REQUEST <br />Title IX General Regulations, Chapter 91 Animals, Section § 91.56 KEEPING OF CERTAIN ANIMALS states <br />that “No person may keep swine, cattle, horses, goats, or more than 2 dogs or 3 dogs allowed under § <br />91.01 through 91.05 or fowl, within the city nearer than 500 feet to any human habitation or platted <br />land, without approval of the City Council. The City Council may, before approving or denying any <br />request for approval, request a report from the Health Officer concerning the effect on public health.” <br /> <br />REQUESTED ACTION <br />Staff has reviewed the request, and recommends approval of the application as submitted. <br />1.
