  7. P&Z/LPA SUGGESTED CHANGES OF 5/16/13 • Allow hens to be removed (for exercise) (Line 75) • Ordinance does not override private covenants and restrictions (Lines 90- 94) • Allow in Cluster zoning districts (Use Table, Appendix A) • Meet with Animal Services Board (5/21/13)

  8. Existing Code on HOA Covenants Sec. 38-2.  Interpretation and application. (c) In interpreting and applying the provisions of this chapter [38], they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the public health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community.  It is not intended by this chapter [38] to interfere with, abrogate or annul any lawful easements, covenants, or other agreements between parties; provided, however, that where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or premises than are imposed or required by other resolutions, rules, regulations, or by lawful easements, covenants or agreements, the provisions of this chapter shall control.” Staff recommends deleting Lines 90-94, as suggested by the Planning & Zoning Commission, as the code already addresses the issue.

  9. NEXT STEPS • Implement ordinance (Effective Date July 15, 2013)

  10. ACTION REQUESTED • Approve the proposed Back Yard Hens Ordinance consistent with the recommendations of the P&Z/LPA (Amending Chapter 38-77 and 38-79, Orange County Code) • Remove Lines 90-94 regarding HOA Covenants & Restrictions
