• A November 2012 survey of 52 suburban communities (not including <br />Minneapolis or St. Paul) revealed 67% prohibit poultry /fowl on urban residential <br />lots, with 33% allowing them. It's worth noting that staff is aware of at least two <br />communities included in that survey that have since adopted regulations allowing <br />chickens. This would change the prohibit /allow percentages to 63% / 37 %. <br />• Under the proposed ordinance, the average New Brighton residential homeowner <br />would be allowed to keep nine fowl on their property. Based on the November <br />2012 survey, of the communities that allow chickens the average number allowed <br />is 4.6. For the purposes of calculating this average, staff did not include <br />communities who did not have a limit or three communities that impose a <br />minimum acreage. <br />• Regarding New Brighton's neighboring communities, the November 2012 survey <br />revealed: <br />• the cities of Roseville and Fridley allow chickens and do not have any <br />maximum numbers in force <br />• Columbia Heights prohibits chickens <br />• Shoreview allows a maximum of 4 chickens per residential lot <br />• Arden Hills, Mounds View, and St. Anthony were not included in the <br />survey <br />Attachments <br />Draft Ordinance <br />White board print -off from 3/24 work session discussion <br />Coop Setback Example Maps <br />
