Planning commission forwards chicken ordinance amendment to council
Summary
The Sunset Planning Commission voted to recommend Ordinance 2026-01 — revisions to rules on chicken ownership in single-family zones — to the City Council for public hearing after confirming the draft incorporated prior edits.
The Sunset Planning Commission voted April 9 to recommend Ordinance 2026-01, an amendment to Sunset City Code chapter 10-5a-7 governing chickens in single-family residential zones, be sent to the City Council for a public hearing.
The commission opened a public hearing on the ordinance but recorded no public speakers. Chair (S1) asked whether members had reviewed the draft; commissioners agreed it reflected previously discussed changes. Committee member S5 moved to forward the amendment and the measure passed, with the chair recording "2 ayes, no no's and 1 abstain" and confirming the motion passed.
The action was procedural: the commission did not alter substantive policy language at the meeting and directed staff to include the ordinance in the Council packet for its public hearing. No enforcement details or implementation dates were set during the commission meeting.
The next procedural step is the City Council public hearing, where the ordinance may be opened for public testimony and further amendments. The Commission’s recommendation will be included in the Council’s agenda materials.
