Allow Residents of Farmington to Own and Raise Chickens
Change the Ordinance of the city to allow keeping of chickens and small livestock. This Ordinance is in Section 205.350 and reads "It shall be unlawful for any person owning or keeping livestock to keep the same in the business district of this City or in a strictly residential area of this City. For the purpose of this Section, the term "strictly residential area" shall mean and include any area within the limits of this City which has been platted and recorded for residential purposes."
Why is this important?
Small farm animals like chickens provide healthy food, are a natural way to cut down on insects, and cause few issues as small broods.
