<br />Planning & Zoning Commission <br />September 20, 2007 <br />Page 2 of2 <br /> <br />SU2:2ested ReQuirements: <br /> <br />Since 1-2 acres is generally needed per animal; ~ acre should not yield 1 animal and 1 <br />acre should not yield 2 animals. Staff, at this point, suggests the same requirements as <br />currently presented in the Zoning Ordinance regarding domestic livestock remain intact. <br /> <br />Conclusion & Recommendation: <br /> <br />Upon the conclusion of the workshop held on July 19,2007, the Commission reached a <br />consensus that the current rule remains intact. The stated reasons are as follows: <br /> <br />· There have not been many requests for variances or special exceptions to the rule <br />and P&Z felt the action to amend/change the rule was premature. <br /> <br />· As per research, the current ratio is rather generous and the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission opted to continue with the current ratio for keeping of livestock in <br />La Porte. <br /> <br />Staff recommends animal use requirements as currently presented in the Zoning <br />Ordinance regarding domestic livestock allowable numbers remain intact. <br /> <br />Actions available to the Commission are as follows: <br /> <br />· Recommend to Council, approval of the above requirement pertaining to the <br />domestic livestock. <br />· Recommend to Council, approval of a revised version of the above stated. <br />· Recommend to Council, denial of the suggested requirement. <br />· Table this item for further consideration by the Commission. <br />
