Taylorsville City, Utah is drafting a new chicken ordinance currently and will be discussing it in April 2010. Currently, chickens are not allowed in any residential zone in Taylorsville. I am hoping that some more local chicken lovers will participate in the city council meeting- I don't have the date in front of me but it's towards the end of April. It looks like they will allow chickens if the new draft ordinance passes it seems pretty positive, it's mostly concerned with proper housing and care but they do want to collect fees, and the wording about neighbor complaints is pretty broad. Just wanted to make others aware that it's going on I couldn't find any info online about Taylorsville City's ordinance other than @ B.Y.C. I am interested in networking with others in the area to help make chickens legal in Taylorsville, Utah. As it stands now Taylorsville is one of the most restrictive cities' in Utah- chickens are not allowed in residential zones- Lets help change it! If someone out there has some experience with the wording of zoning ordinances and wanted to look it over the new draft I could email it to you to look over. It's a pretty long ordinance and most of the wording seems to give the city lots of reasons to prosecute you if they choose to, sort of a- well let you have chickens, but, if we don't like you we will find a reason to say no. At least it's a step in the right direction though.
