Resident urges Archdale council to revisit backyard-chicken ordinance
Summary
At the Feb. 24 council meeting, resident Megan McGrath urged the council to reopen consideration of the city ordinance prohibiting backyard chickens, saying her review of past minutes suggests support for allowing backyard chickens exceeds opposition.
During the public-comment period of the Feb. 24 meeting, resident Megan McGrath told the council she has tracked prior council minutes and believes the long-running request to revise Archdale’s ordinance prohibiting backyard chickens has majority support among residents and should be revisited by the council.
McGrath asked council to reconsider the ordinance; no formal council discussion or vote on the ordinance occurred at this meeting. Council did not indicate a schedule for consideration in future meetings during the session.
The council received the comment during the public-comment portion of the agenda; further action would require a council member to place an ordinance revision on a future agenda for formal discussion and possible action.
