in. It is giving freedom for residents to do what they’d like in their private yards and so long as
they’re adhering to the requirements they should be allowed to do it.

Director of Community Development Eleanor Norena responded that it will be city-wide. She

desire of the Commission.

told what he can or cannot do in his own yard and people should be able to do what they want so
long as they aren’t breaking any rules. This ordinance only allows for 4 chickens and not 25 like
the letter he received which is misleading.
Mayor Davis commented that a lot of work has gone into this item. She is sensitive to people
being able to do what they want in their own yard, and she is also sensitive to neighbors having
what they want in their yard impacting another neighbors yard. She stated that at the end of the

or what you want to do, it’s also about being respectful of your neighbors and considering how
your choices affect them.
