a.       Discussion of amending the Zoning Ordinance to allow chickens to be kept in a Residential Zone without the agricultural designation.

The City of Eagleville Zoning Ordinance does not have an Agricultural District but does recognize Agricultural Use as a use by right in an R-1 District which would allow chickens and other non-domestic animals.

R-1 (Low Density) - Agricultural use is permitted.  Minimum lot size is 2 ac.

R-2 (Medium Density) – Agricultural use is not a permitted use. Minimum lot size is 20,000 sq. ft.

R-3 (High Density) – Agricultural use is not a permitted use.  Minimum lot size is 7,500 sq. ft. for single family dwelling with greater square footage requirements for duplex and multi-family dwelling units.

It appears that the current Zoning Ordinances does provide for property owners to have livestock on parcels of 2 acres or greater.  The ordinance does allow those on the smaller lots to request an appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals giving the surrounding residents the opportunity to speak for or against this use.
