I agree with what Chris10sen said about asking permission, and with that being said, you are more than welcome to use any of my coop photos from my page!
You need to get across to your city council not only how cute the coops can be, but other more important things like the lack of smell of a properly maintained coop, proper distances from houses in urban settings, and that the keeping of hens supports a local, sustainable food system by providing an affordable, nutritious food source of fresh eggs. The keeping of hens also provides free nitrogen-rich fertilizer; chemical-free pest control; animal companionship and pleasure; weed control; and less noise, mess and expense than dogs and cats.
Good luck with your endeavors! I say - "A chicken in every backyard!"
