Background/Discussion
Case No. 18-04.
Staff and the Planning Commission have been working to increase opportunities for residents to keep
honey bees. Current ordinances handle bees the same as agricultural animals where parcels below 5 acres
in the R-1a require a CUP and parcels within the urban service district must be larger than 5 acres and
acquire a CUP.
The Planning Commission made some changes to the draft ordinance during their review on March 27,
2018, and tabled the item in order to review the amended ordinance prior to forwarding to Council for
review. The Commission will review the updated ordinance on April 24, 2018.
