Tomorrow evening at the Viera Government Center the second and FINAL LEGAL READING of code for backyard chickens will be heard at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting from 5pm - 7pm, Thursday December 6, 2012. While the second legal reading will be the final process in securing code change for backyard chickens in Brevard County Florida, the final version of code is far from concluded. Here is what has been proposed:
http://www.avidhomestead.com/new-code-for-brevard-county-allowing-backyard-chickens.aspx
SUCCINCTLY STATED: Four hens per .5 acres beginning with residential properties in un-incorporated Brevard (outside of any city limits) that would be provided some sort of housing structure set back 10 feet from the property line. Chickens should be raised for non-commercial purposes with no slaughtering allowed on the properties.
Persons who are interested in seeing exisiting code amended to allow backyard chickens should contact the Brevard County Board of Commissioners to show your support. This has been a year long campaign to bring this change to Brevard County and we are hoping for success tomorrow evening but we could NEVER have gotten this far without the support and encouragement of the wonderful activist citizens who transformed this campaign from a mere thought into action and finally sucess!!!
