Amendments to the ordinances pertaining to Domestic Livestock to be allowed on <br />commercially zoned properties. <br />City Planner Masood Malik presented the staff report. A list of suggested minimum <br />requirements was presented if, at the conclusion of discussions, the Commission <br />favored allowing domestic livestock on commercially zoned properties. <br />There was an instance brought up where domestic livestock was known to have been on <br />a specific general commercial tract for many years. In this case, the Commission <br />determined the use was allowed because it had been grandfathered. <br />
