Hi all! I've written up an essay and sent it to the county board and zoning board. Currently 12.7.1 of the zoning laws require chickens to be housed at least 100 ft from property lines. If anyone else would like to support me in requesting that it be relaxed to 20 ft, I would greatly appreciate it! The ZOCO is not meeting this week.

Hello. Please let me know the link for Arlington County's ordinance for chicken housing. I'm interested in applying for a variance. I don't see it here: https://www.arlingtonva.us/files/sh...-board/documents/code/ch02_animalsandfowl.pdf

https://www.arlingtonva.us/files/sh...-and-ordinances/aczo_effective_06.10.2023.pdf page 258, 12.7.1! Good luck with the variance - I may try that as well, I’ve gotten nowhere with the county
