In accordance with Section 34 of the Planning Act, the County of Brant is proposing to amend Comprehensive Zoning By-Law 61-16 to help implement a new Backyard Hen program within the Non-Urban Residential Zones of the County. Non-Urban Residential Zone categories include Suburban Residential (SR), Residential Hamlets and Villages (RH), and Rural Residential (RR) Zones.
The amendment is municipally initiated to help facilitate a Council endorsed Backyard Hen program in the County. Minor changes are proposed to include a new definition for backyard hens, exclude backyard hens from being considered livestock and poultry as defined, and permit backyard hens in all Non-Urban Residential Zones, subject to the implementation of a new ‘Backyard Hen By-Law.’
The project can be referenced as file number ZBA26-24-JK. Additional project information and material are available on this page. Zoning of a property can be verified at brant.ca/Zoning.
