Amends and adds to existing law to revise a definition and permit residential chicken ownership.
This legislation supports urban agriculture by permitting residential property owners to keep up to four chickens per 0.2 acres while allowing local regulations to ensure community standards. It promotes local food production, protects property rights, and addresses food security in urban areas. The bill excludes multifamily units and properties already governed by agricultural zoning.
