• _._ ..:, Analysis: As noted, the Zoning Ordinance designates Animal Specialties as a "Conditional Use" in R-1 zones. Section 10-203 of the Ordinance sets the following general conditions for this activity. I. Livestock may only be kept on lots of an acre or more in size. II. Pasture and structures used to house livestock must be setback at least 25 feet from any property line except when the adjoining property is also used to house domestic livestock. III. Livestock may be kept in concentrations not to exceed two (2) animals per acre (these concentration limits are not applicable to fowl). Section 10-502 would allow fencing to extend to the front property lines. Additionally, Ordinance 1401 ("Wild Animals") would regulate the types of animals which could be kept on this property. Section 10-202 deals specifically with Special Conditional Use Permits and sets conditions which must be satisfied in order for a S.C.U. Permit to be approved. These conditions are as follows: I. That the specific use will be compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property, nor significantly diminish or impair property values within the immediate vicinity. II. That the conditions placed on such use as specified in each district have been met by the applicant. III. That the applicant has agreed to meet any additional conditions imposed, based on specific site constraints, and necessary to protect the public interest and welfare of the community.
