Background: <br />The applicants' proposal is for up to thirty (30) pigeons to be kept on the property. The pigeons <br />will be kept in an enclosed coop (54 square feet) in the southeast corner of the property, <br />approximately 35 feet from the eastern property line and 55 feet from the southern property line. <br />According to the applicants, the pigeons are show pigeons, which can tolerate the cold and dark as <br />the proposed coop will not be heated or lit. The pigeons are to be kept in the coop and will not be <br />free to fly. The applicants state the noise generated from the pigeons would be minimal, and the <br />coop would be cleaned regularly to reduce potential odors. The keeping of pigeons is similar to <br />chickens and are considered farm animal which require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and <br />Variances from the CUP standards outlined in Section 78-303(3) <br />Link to Planning Commission Packet. <br />4.
