| Policy Outcome(s): | This ordinance addresses agriculture on residential zoned parcels and the keeping of farm animals within the city. Changes were made to the city code that include a set of agricultural definitions and new amendments that permit small farm animals, large farm animals, domestic fowl, pot belly pigs, and miniature goats as part of a 4H, Future Farmers of America, or similar program, or as a pet or companion animal on residential zoned parcels. There are particular standards for minimum pasture areas, the specific animals permitted, the size of animals, and enclosures needed for animals. Commercial keeping of such animals is prohibited on these lots. The keeping of peacocks, roosters, male poultry, and swine (other than miniature potbelly pigs) is prohibited. |
