HRM Public Information Session on Urban ChickensFebruary
(Environmental)

Date: February 10, 2010
Time: 7pm
Location:

Halifax City Hall, 1841 Argyle Street, Halifax.
1841 Argyle Street,
Halifax

More: On December 14, 2009, Peninsula Community Council passed a motion that
"staff open a planning application to consult with the public, address any
potential issues (e.g. separation distances, number of hens, prohibition of
roosters) and, if appropriate, draft amendments to the Halifax Peninsula
Land Use By-law (LUB) to permit backyard laying hens." At this time, only
amendments to the Peninsula LUB are being considered; existing regulations
will continue to apply in other communities (e.g. Halifax Mainland,
Dartmouth).

Following the public information meeting, the proposal will undergo a
detailed review. Staff will prepare a report to be tabled at Peninsula
Community Council. If Council decides to consider the Land Use By-law
amendments, they will schedule a public hearing. Notice of a public hearing
will be published in the newspaper and on the HRM website.

Further details on this case will be posted here:
