Chickens in Residential Districts
Page 2
Frank Dempsey indicated that City staff has received numerous requests over the past
few years to allow the keeping of chickens in residential zoning districts. He stated that
the City Council discussed allowing chickens in residential districts at their February 24th
work session and referred the item to the Planning Commission for discussion. The
City Council's intent is that City staff will draft an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to
allow chickens in residential zoning districts for consideration by the Planning
Commission and City Council. He stated that chickens are deft d in the Zoning
Ordinance as a farm animal and are allowed on farm properti agricultural zoning
districts. He described the research he has conducted of rea cities that are
similar to Lakeville (the research findings are listed in Mr ey's March 14th memo
to the Planning Commission).

Concern was expressed about the potential for odors from the beer
manufacturing process to impact adjacent residential uses.
Concern was expressed about potential accessory uses, like live bands, and
their compatibility with adjacent residential uses.
The use seems more appropriate when food sales are included (like Granite City
in Eagan). Suggested using kitchen size or number of seats as a food service
requirement instead of gross sales receipts when allowed in a commercial zoning
district.
