PUBLIC HEARINGS
PLANNING CASE P19-0056 - Zoning Code Amendment - Animal Keeping Provisions
Proposal by the City of Riverside to consider a Zoning Code Amendment to the animal keeping provisions of Title 19 - Zoning Code, and Title 8- Animals, of the Riverside Municipal Code. Doug Darnell, Senior Planner, presented the staff report. Comments from the audience: Joyce Jong, Senior Project Manager, spoke regarding the virulent New Castle disease as it pertains to poultry and the risk to commercial poultry in Riverside.
She suggested limiting the keeping of poultry in the residential areas. The public hearing was closed, following discussion the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council: 1) Determine that Planning Case Motion x P19-0056 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act Second (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Ayes Exemption), as it can be seen with certainty that the code amendment Noes X does not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment; and 2) Approve Planning Case P19-0056 (Zoning Code Amendment) based on the findings outlined in the staff report, with an addition. The Planning Commission requested staff to look into allowing the temporary fostering of animals and treat the keeping of rabbits the same as pot belly pigs. These items should be resolved prior to the case going to Council.
