New Brighton City Code, Chapter 6 is hereby amended by adding an Article 8 <br />as follows: <br />Article 8. Fowl and Bees <br />Sec. 6-200. Purpose. <br />The purpose of this Article is to establish reasonable regulations for the keeping of fowl <br />and bees throughout the City. The City Council recognizes there is a desire to engage in <br />more sustainable food practices. However, the keeping of certain types of fowl can <br />create unintended negative impacts, including noise and odors that are not typical of <br />urban environments. The regulations within this Article aim to address the negative <br />impacts that result from keeping fowl within an urban environment. Additionally, in <br />recognition that bees have health implications for certain individuals, this Article <br />establishes minimum hive standards and notification requirements. <br />Sec. 6-201. Number of Fowl. <br />The keeping of fowl shall not exceed a total of six per property on all property throughout <br />the City. <br />Sec. 6-202.
