Establishing a permit scheme under which city residents can keep chickens

This section of the Durham Unified Development Ordinance allows Durham residents to obtain permits to keep domestic chickens as an accessory use of property as long as they meet certain conditions and follow the required standards. For example, coop construction, distance from the property line, composting of chicken manure, and slaughter and processing requirements. Residents may keep up to ten female chickens for non-commercial use.
