Planning Board discusses chicken regulations and updates to land use plans.

The board will discuss potential new regulations for keeping chickens in residential zones. Staff is proposing guardrails—such as minimum lot sizes, setbacks from property lines, and specific coop requirements—to address community concerns regarding odors and rodents in urban areas.

Additionally, the board will review follow-up thoughts on Land Use Plan updates and will re-sign an old subdivision plan for the Fairways neighborhood to facilitate a property sale. The meeting also includes the adoption of findings and decisions for the Grandview Avenue residential development.
