Basically, the number of horses you may keep on your <br />property depends on the size of your property. Parcels under 1.5 acres in size are not eligible <br />for horses. A special permit approved by the City Council is required to keep 1 or 2 horses <br />on parcels from 1.5 to 2.9 acres in size. No special permit is required to keep horses on <br />parcels 3 acres and greater in size. If the parcel is 3 acres in size, it is entitled to 2 horses and <br />1 additional horse is permitted for every additional ½ acre over 3. Therefore, you may have 3 <br />horses on 3.5 acres, 4 on 4 acres, 5 on 4.5 acres, 6 on 5 acres, etc. <br /> <br />According to our records, your property is 2.5 acres in size and you may keep a maximum of <br />2 horses provided you have obtained a conditional use Permit from the City. It app.ears that <br />you are keeping 2 horses on your property absent of a conditional use permit. If our <br />information is incorrect, please contact us as soon as possible to resolve this issue. If our <br />information is correct, then you have a couple of options. <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br /> <br />Eliminate the horses being kept on the property. <br />Apply for a conditional use permit to maintain horses on a parcel less than 3 <br />acres in size. <br /> <br />The request for a conditional use permit requires submittal of a $100.00 non-refundable <br />application fee and a $300.00 cash escrow deposit. The escrow deposit of $300.00 is used to <br />cover City Staff costs incurred in processing your application. If at the completion of-your <br />application process there are any funds remaining in that escrow account, you will receive a <br />refund. Likewise, [f the processing costs exceed $300.00, you will be responsible for the <br />balance due, whether your request was approved or denied. The application is reviewed, by <br /> <br />-67- <br /> <br /> <br />
