C. Adopt/Deny Ordinance No. 2026-8235 on second reading Amending Chapter 5 Animals of the City

City Council · 2026-04-20 · agenda_item

The City Council of Jacksonville Beach is considering an ordinance that would allow backyard hens at public and private schools located in residential zoning districts. This proposed change to Chapter 5 of the City Code of Ordinances is currently under review. If approved, the ordinance could lead to the implementation of new regulations and potentially require site modifications or new structures at schools. This early stage in the review process presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with school districts and the city. Businesses specializing in site preparation, construction, landscaping, and animal husbandry supplies may find opportunities as these changes are explored and potentially implemented.
