Legalize Keeping Chickens/ducks in Arroyo Grande

The Issue
Our city's zoning law currently prohibits homeowners from keeping chickens and ducks in their backyard, but many reasons favour revising this regulation. Chickens and ducks , contrary to common beliefs, do not create more noise than dogs, often seen as suitable pets in residential areas. Moreover, the benefits of keeping chickens and ducks at home are numerous - they play a crucial role in pest control, offer fresh, organic eggs, and provide a sustainable way of managing domestic food waste by turning it into valuable compost. Advocates also argue that it promotes a connection with food not achievable through conventional grocery shopping methods. By signing this petition, we implore city officials to reconsider the zoning laws and allow chickens in residential areas. Sign this petition if you support sustainability, and freedom of choice for all city residents.
