Juneau Plan Commission renews one‑year chickens pilot program with fees and run requirements
Summary
The commission voted 6–0 to renew a one‑year chickens pilot program that sets a $50 initial fee, $25 renewal fee, a 100‑square‑foot run requirement, and requires neighbor approval for initial permits but not renewals.
The Juneau Plan Commission on March 31 voted unanimously to renew a one‑year chickens pilot program that sets permit requirements and fees.
David Gratton moved to renew the pilot program for one year and Ken Steffen seconded. The commission approved an initial permit fee of $50 and a renewal fee of $25, required a 100‑square‑foot chicken run, and stipulated neighbor approval for initial permits but not for subsequent renewals. The motion carried 6–0.
The minutes do not show additional regulatory language (for example, limits on bird count, coops, setback distances beyond the run size, enforcement procedures, or whether the program requires periodic staff reporting). The commission’s action renews the pilot for the stated one‑year period; staff or an implementing ordinance will need to record program enforcement and any detailed permit criteria.
