Chair Kamenjarin opened the public testimony at 5:32 p.m. and asked if there were any members
of the public who wished to speak on the project.
Resident Joe Collins spoke on behalf himself and seven homeowners in his neighborhood. He
remarked that they have made complaints recently about a very large chicken coop that was
built adjacent to their neighborhood. He expressed that 25 chickens near homes are too many,
it is too loud, promotes rodents and there are unpleasant odors associated with the coop.
Resident David McFeaters repeated the sentiments noted by his neighbor Joe Collins. He added
this has been an issue for years and it is affecting their property value.
Seeing no one else wishing to speak, Chair Kamenjarin closed the public testimony at 5:38 p.m.
In response to the residents' comments, Associate Planner, Nicole Morrow explained that the
updates reviewed this evening with regards to poultry are for the Residential One Zone and the
public's comments were regarding a Residential Agricultural Zone {RA Zone) which allows for
much more agricultural uses like chickens.
City Planner Lardy added that this item did not come to planning's attention until recently and
could not be addressed in this report; but could possibly be referred to staff as future Clean Up
item.
Commissioner Stine reiterati:d that the Commission cannot take action on the number of
Chickens in the RA Zone because that is not part of the Agenda this evening. But Mr. Stine
added that he would like to see staff look into this topic and make recommendations regarding
the number of animals allowed in the RA Zone.
