RICHMOND - The Richmond Planning & Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing Monday, Nov. 2, on an ordinance that would add a section on chickens to city code, according to the commission agenda.

Ordinance 2026-11 would amend the code's definitions chapter and its "Allowable Animals" rules under animal control, and add a new part titled "Chickens," the agenda states. A discussion and possible vote on the ordinance follow the hearing.

The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Park Community Center, 90 South 100 West, according to the city's public hearing notice. The agenda does not spell out what the proposed chicken rules would allow.

Why this matters

Residents who keep chickens, or live next to someone who does, can tell the commission what they think before it votes on the change.
