    Aurora Co law up for review again - need resources

    Less restrictions = less time/money the city and its code compliance officers need to spend policing the population - its a simple logical argument since the effort complained about is in enforcement of regulations not in the existence of a freedom

    *The City of San Diego, California - Chicken and Gamebird / Fowl Law*

    Re rabbits Longday - I would recommend we get a punchlist of items like the rabbits and we can submit these to the city planner on a "cleanup list" of amendments just like the city revisited a punchlist of cleanup items re community gardens last week -

    In San Diego, the new law is directly related to setbacks - you cannot keep hens within the setback area - which for most lots of 5000 sq ft in the city the setback is 4-5 ft of the property line. Outside the setback you can have 5 hens - more the further you are from the setback. Shifra since...

    How to respond to "It will cost the city money to regulate"???

    When the San Diego city council legalized chickens last week they were quite proud to declare their act as "regulatory relief" - ie getting government off your back. Maybe shift your city's focus to freedoms and property rights in a tactful way so regulation is not desirable?

    Hi MissChicks, welcome! here is the link to the webcast of the San Diego city council hearing on Jan 31st when they unanimously voted in favor of urban chickens - you will have to forward through towards the later part of the video to get to our part, but you and your neighbors can make a...

    Hi LD, we did notice that rabbits were lumped in with chickens on the same restrictions. At the same time we didn't really see a lot of complaints about rabbits filed with the city probably because rabbits in a hutch in your backyard are relatively invisibile to neighbors, Have you experienced...

    After our success in getting chickens, pygmy goats and bees approved by the city council, the city planner's office has asked us if there are any other urban agriculture changes that would be beneficial - can any of you think of other changes you might like to the city code? The city council...

    That's right. The code restrictions applied to all "fowl", so ducks still fall under the old rules.

    Hello Shifra, welcome. Since Chula Vista is a separate incorporated city, you are correct that San Diego's code does not apply to you. Chula Vista Municipal Code section 6.04.080 is the law you are looking for - it allows you up to 12 hens but requires a minimum lot size of 7000 sq ft. That...

    Hi Darlene, Ducks are not part of the reforms. We didn't have any of the BYC participants in this process raise the issue of ducks all last year - however I recall that at one of the city planning meetings back in September, one of the garden proponents out of curiosity mentioned ducks to city...

    Great work everyone! To clarify, the new distance restriction will not apply at all to your own residence as it did before, in fact, you could put the coop right up against your own house if you wanted to.. However, the new distance restrictions are very minimal. Five hens may be kept if...

    Hello Longday, welcome Thank you for posting the contact info for the council, everyone should make use of this to at least get your rep an idea of your stance, however, sending emails to the council unfortunately will not carry the same weight or importance as showing up at the hearing and...
