Appendix 1625. Stables (whether public or private, including where no structure is provided for shelter).

1.

These requirements do not apply to a bona-fide farm but do apply to one or more herbivores and birds heavier than 50 pounds (such as horses, mules, ponies, llamas, alpacas, emus, ostriches, kangaroos, giraffes, etc.), whether or not housed in a barn, stable or similar structure.

2.

The minimum parcel size is one acre.

3.

The number of herbivores and large birds shall be limited to one per acre, with the exception that, for a private stable on a three-acre or larger parcel occupied by a single-family residence, the number may equal the number of family members living on the premises.

4.

All such larger herbivores and birds shall be confined within a fence or other enclosure that is suitably-engineered and constructed for such use, as determined by the Planning Director or designee. The fence shall be sturdily-constructed with new material and maintained in good repair and finish.

5.

All barns, stables, and similar structures shall be located at least 50 feet from all property lines.

6.

Caretaker quarters shall be permitted within the barn, stable, or similar structure.
