Planning Commission - Oct 14, 2026
The city is proposing to expand the Equestrian Lifestyle Protection Overlay by roughly 4,000 acres and consolidate all animal-keeping rules into one code section with a 15-point-per-acre animal allowance, best management practices, and a minor animal permit process. Commissioners split over whether golf courses and industrial areas belong in the overlay and whether 15 horses per acre is responsible animal care. The hearing will be re-noticed, likely November 17.
