Graphic summarizes proposed changes in city chicken rules

City of Sarasota Planning Staff are recommending changes that would make it possible for some city residents to keep a few female chickens if they (the residents, not the chickens) complied with thirteen provisions meant to insure minimal neighbor impacts. Those provisions, as well as eight provisions benefiting the chickens, are summarized on the attached file.

Provisions marked with an N (inside a square) denote provisions added out of consideration for neighbors. Provisions marked with a C (inside a circle) denote provisions added out of consideration for the chickens.

The file appears small, but if you click on it, it should enlarge and become readable.
