Memo to Planning and Zoning Commission
Re: Keeping of Chickens
I have looked into the question of whether the city should consider allowing chickens to
be kept in the city.
I found that our neighboring communities of Hugo, Lino Lakes, Circle Pines and
Lexington are similar to Centerville, in that they only allow farm animals in agricultural
areas, typically on parcels of ten acres or more.
I found a few communities that allow chickens to be kept in the city in small lot
residential neighborhoods, but it is not a common practice.
While hens do not make noise to the manner of roosters, they do make noises. One of the
common concerns amongst the cities is that the feed materials will attract rodents and
other vermin.
Centerville is part of the Centennial Lakes Police Department service area along with
Lexington and Circle Pines. The three cities have committed to coordinating their
respective code of regulations for ease of enforcement. Animal regulations are identical
in the three cities.
I would recommend that we not make any changes in our regulations on keeping of
animals until we visit with Circle Pines and Lexington. If they are not interested in
allowing chickens, then I would suggest that we not make any changes.

From Website Citychicken.com:
Apple Valley, MN. The City Code states that only domestic animals commonly referred
to as "house pets" may be kept in those zoning districts zoned for residential uses. This
means the City does not allow, either as a permitted use or as a conditional use, the
keeping of chickens at single family residences. The keeping of chickens is considered
an agricultural pursuit and is permitted only in those areas zoned for agricultural uses.
Blaine, MN. Domestic farm animals, including cattle, horses, sheep, goats and chickens
are only permitted in Agricultural (AG) and Farm Residential (FR) zoning districts.
Buffalo, MN. Chickens are not allowed within city limits.
Burnsville, MN. The City Code was changed in 2009 to read: No more than 4 chickens
shall be maintained at any one residence or premises. Hen chickens may be kept within
the residential district. The keeping of roosters is prohibited.
Edina, MN. Chickens not allowed.
Elk River, MN. Elk River defines an `animal' as a dog, cat, or other animal which is
harbored, fed, or kept by any person. No dog, cat, or other animal shall be allowed by its
owner to run at large.
Little Falls, MN. Has an ordinance that does not allow chickens to live in town. (As of
2010.) The Town was approached in 2010 to revise the Town ordinance to allow
chickens, so get on -board with this agenda if you live in Little Falls, MN.
Minneapolis, MN. Unlimited. Applicant needs consent from 80 percent of neighbors
within 100 feet of real estate. Chickens must be penned.
Plymouth, MN. The City of Plymouth does not allow chickens in residential zoning
districts.
Rosemount, MN. You can have up to 3 hens, no roosters. You must get written
permission from all the neighbors whose yards border yours. You must keep them in a
coop between 12 and 24 inches above ground and the legs of the coop must be sunk in
cement footers. And there is a $25 annual fee to keep chickens.
Roseville, MN. See City Code section 407.02: G. Keeping of Farm Animals: The
keeping of cows, horses, sheep, goats or any four - legged animal commonly known as
farm animals, OTHER THAN those commonly called poultry, in any pasture, stable or
any enclosure within 300 feet or less of any other lot in any residence district. (Ord. 629,
9- 28 -70)
St. Paul, MN. Can have one chicken without a permit, but more than one you have to
get permission from 75% of neighbors 150 ft. around, or proof you have no neighbors
