Special Use Permits for Animals

The Town may issue a special use permit for the keeping of domestic hoofed livestock, small livestock, fowl, reptiles, swine or other animals not otherwise prohibited by Section 7-6-35. Criteria to be considered in the issuance of the permit include but not be limited to noise, smell, proximity to adjacent property, the kind and number of animals, the size of animals, the facilities of the applicant, sanitation facilities and requirements, and other neighborhood considerations.

A special use permit for the keeping of backyard chicken hens may be issued without requiring a public hearing and subject to the criteria outlined in Sec. 7-6-45.
