Councilman Smith's correct in terms of the zoning's intention. However, that is not the current law as you obviously already know - and that's what really matters. I can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that land will not be rezoned to R-40 because R-40 is already the lowest density base zoning available. Theoretically, you could take multiple lots with higher zoning designations, combine them and get the results zoned R-40 but I don't see that ever happening.
There are HOA rules which trump town ordinances on many these kinds of issues. That is why you see 1+ acre lots that don't allow backyard chickens (and numerous other things for that matter). And don't misread the 4-3 vote. Councilwoman Julie Robison is the only member remotely interested in allowing chickens in Cary backyards. The other two women were simply acting a bit political.
