Please help us change the zoning ordinance currently in place for R-2 & R-3 areas which are Low to medium Density Residential. They currently do not allow chickens. Current ordinance states that if you live in an  AG, RR, or R-1 area you can have Class III animals, which chickens fall under. But the Intent and Purpose for the R-2 & R-3 states...
" These districts are established to provide for residential development at a low to medium density, plus customary accessory and compatible support uses. Development within these areas are suburban in character and are designed to preserve and enhance the Township's  rural character and natural features while also adding to the range of lot sizes and potential housing opportunities for various segments of the general public."
  I ask you what is more rural than chickens?  Please help us change this. Thank you.

The township planners remain silent on our proposal but their refusal to respond proves they see us coming. Email your local representative today to demand they address the restrictive zoning language in our R-2 and R-3 districts. Post this link on your Facebook page so our neighbors know we are fighting to bring chickens back to our residential zones.

Reaching this level of support proves that our community values our rural roots more than outdated zoning rules. Email your township representative today to demand that they align our ordinances with the character of Huron Township.

we really need fresh eggs and it makes no sense to ban them when we are in the middle of farm country. lets get this done.

I just moved here and I can assure you my yard is large and "rural" despite it being zoned R3.
