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 amendment 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, this ordinance could lead to the establishment of small-scale poultry operations at educational facilities. This might involve site preparation for coops, the installation of fencing, and the procurement of related supplies. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as general construction, landscaping, and animal husbandry supplies may find opportunities as these projects develop. Engaging with the city early in the review process could provide valuable insight into potential future needs.
