PUBLIC HEARING 6.01: Introduce Ordinance #21-11 Amending Chapter 10 of City Code to Include Requirements for Keeping Cats and Roosters, and to Amend Standards for Agricultural Animals and Beekeeping City Administrator Ulrich reviewed a proposed Ordinance amending Chapter 10 of City Code to include cats and roosters and amend standards for agricultural animals and beekeeping. He stated this item has not been reviewed by the City Attorney. He added he would like to continue the public hearing until a date specific recommended on August 10, 2021. Planning Technician Brian McCann stated the Ordinance contains proposed changes to the animal section of City Code, including a summary of changes, as well as the removal of mules, donkeys and burros. Roosters would be allowed on properties of 2.5 acres or more via administrative approval with a 2-rooster maximum, regulated under the City’s existing noise ordinance. Beekeeping would be allowable via zoning permit. The number of cats is limited, similar to the number of dogs. Emu, bison and rabbits would be allowed on properties of 2.5 acres in the rural developing zoning district. Other animals can be addressed via special animal license or home occupation permit. Councilmember Howell stated, under the section related to cats and dogs, a private kennel license is required for 4 or more dogs or cats. She added a bigger kennel would be required if there were puppies. She expressed concern about imposing overbearing regulations. Planning Technician McCann stated he believes the definition of dogs and cats includes regulation after 6 months or older. He added he can verify that information.
