6. Failure to comply with all conditions of approval or County, State, or Federal

Board of Adjustment Regular Meeting · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

This item concerns a special exception request for a property located in Highlands County. The applicant seeks permission to raise and keep up to two caged hens. This request is intended to resolve a current code enforcement issue and bring the property into compliance with county rules. The property is currently not in compliance because it had a single caged hen, but the applicant currently has no chickens. The request is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, this could involve site preparation for a small coop or enclosure, and potentially related landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the applicant or county planning department to understand potential needs as the review process moves forward.
