Hope that helps. I read it as your coop has to be 50′ away from the property line that is adjacent to a property that houses human beings. Hope that helps.

I am still open to any help and/or suggestions that you may have. In my opinion, these ordinances are not clear. Thank you for at least letting me have the freedom to speak my mind on you site.

"No more than two chickens or pigeons or combination of chickens and pigeons may be kept as pets in a dwelling unit. After the age of six weeks the animal shall be removed from the dwelling unit." The health department gave me 10 days to remove my flock of 4 pullets, they gave me no hope to keep them. I accept any help possible, thank you.

I believe it was section 25 that stated you could have chickens, as long as they were kept in an enclosure,and at least 50 feet from any entrances to homes or businesses. After reading it with the zoning officer on the phone to clarify, we started building our coop! If you wanted to keep other animals, i.e. goats or rabbits, you would need a permit from the health department. Our chickens are not yet ready for their coop, but they're lots of fun!
