Contemporary updates to the legal zoning definitions now allow most homeowners in residential areas more opportunities in horticulture, to allow for beekeeping and backyard chickens.
The new zoning code allows hens in residential districts RE, RLG, R-100, R-85, R-75, and RNC and Light Industrial (M) under certain conditions. The maximum number of hens shall be one hen per 2,000 square feet of lot size, provided the lot size is a minimum of 10,000 square feet, and one additional hen is allowed for each 25 square feet of fenced area per hen. No roosters are allowed under this provision.
