Staff to compile ordinance options after resident request on housing chickens
Summary
Staff reported a resident requested an ordinance about housing chickens, provided a draft ordinance, and said staff will gather examples from other communities and return a categorized summary for the board to review.
Township staff told the board they are assembling ordinance language and examples in response to a resident request about housing chickens and will present a categorized summary for board review.
The staff member said a resident approached the township last month seeking an ordinance change and "has also provided me with an ordinance that he felt was fair." Staff said they had researched ordinances from other communities, planned to collect a few more examples, and would prepare a short summary to give to board members. The staff member added that the resident "is not pushing" but is trying to help.
No formal policy action or vote on the ordinance was recorded in the transcript; staff said the next step is to circulate proposed language and summaries for the board's consideration at a future meeting.
Next steps: staff will provide the board with a categorized set of ordinance examples and a summary to inform future discussion and possible drafting.
