• <br />TO: James E. Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />DI_7N1,11 HEAD CONCURRENCE: <br />1 �l <br />Robert M. Keating, AICP <br />Community Development irector <br />**- <br />FROM: Stan Boling, AICP <br />Planning Director <br />DATE: October 31, 2000 <br />SUBJECT: Final Hearing on Proposed LDR Amendments: Limitations on Roosters and <br />Allowance for Road Names <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County <br />Commissioners at its meeting of November 7, 2000. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />At its regular meeting of October 24, 2000, the Board of County Commissioners held the first of two <br />public hearings on the following two proposed LDR amendment ordinances: <br />1. Limitations on Roosters (BCC -initiated) <br />2. Allowance for Road Names (BCC - initiated) <br />At the October 20 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners considered recommendations and <br />public input, did not direct staff to make any changes to either of the proposed ordinances, and <br />indicated its intent to approve each of the proposed ordinances at the November 7. 2000 final hearing <br />(see attachment #1). Each of the proposed ordinances is in final form and ready for Board adoption. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Rooster Limitations <br />At the October 24' meeting, after lengthy input, the Board voted 3-2 to bring back unchanged the <br />proposed LDR amendment ordinance on rooster limitations for final adoption. That ordinance is in <br />final form (see attachment #2) and would categorize a use involving the breeding and keeping of 25 <br />or more roosters as a "specialty farm". Such specialty farms would be allowed in the agricultural <br />districts (A-1, A-2, and A-3) as an administrative permit use. Under the ordinance, administrative <br />permit use approval for a specialty farm would require a 75' setback and Type 'B" buffer with a 6' <br />opaque feature between property boundaries and the area where the specialty animals are kept. Also, <br />the ordinance would allow the 75' setback to be reduced to the normal agricultural district setback <br />(30) if the specialty animals are kept in an enclosed, sound proofed structure. <br />November 7, 2000 <br />133 <br />• <br />
