Sheldon, Iowa — Chickens and other livestock will no longer be allowed to be kept inside the city limits of Sheldon, after action by the Sheldon City Council.
The Council actually dealt with two proposed ordinances at this week’s regular meeting, one of which passed and the other which was voted down.
The ordinance that passed tightened up the definition of the places where livestock may be kept in town, according to City Manager Sam Kooiker.
It should be noted that both locations mentioned by Kooiker, while inside the City’s zoning jurisdiction, are actually located outside the Sheldon City Limits. He says in those areas the livestock could be allowed by a permit from the Board of Adjustment. The 2nd and 3rd Readings of the ordinance were waived by the Council and it will now become law.
The second ordinance, which would have allowed the animals inside the City limits, failed to win the support of the Council.
Kooiker says the defeat of that ordinance means that no chickens or other farm animals may be kept inside the City Limits, and that those who were allowed to keep them under previous special exceptions must remove the birds.
Both the City Council and the Board of Adjustment have devoted a significant amount of time and discussion to the issue over the past several months, before the Council’s final decision this week.
Since the defeat of the ordinance, the Sheldon City Council can no longer consider individual livestock requests.
