September 8, 2025 Planning Commission Workshop on Crowing Fowl
Workshop Purpose: Seek feedback from the Planning Commission and the public on the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code and County Code pertaining to crowing fowl – specifically roosters.
Zoning Code Amendments: Proposed changes include limiting the number of roosters per property and increasing minimum lot sizes for their keeping to mitigate noise and health concerns.
County Code Updates: The amendments aim to further address illegal cockfighting and the humane keeping of roosters by clarifying definitions, prohibit tethering, and establish housing standards for roosters.
Permit Requirements: New permitting processes are being considered for non-commercial rooster keeping in single family residential zones and to allow hobbyists/exhibitors to have a larger number of roosters than would otherwise be allowed.
Community Coordination: Staff have coordinated with agricultural organizations to ensure concerns about illegal operations are addressed without imposing additional requirements on commercial farmers and other legitimate businesses.
Be part of history as we officially open the doors to the newly renovated Fair Oaks Performing Arts Center!
The evening begins with a community ribbon cutting ceremony in the Veterans Memorial Amphitheatre, featuring remarks from local dignitaries, live music, and special performances. This portion of the event is free and open to the public, welcoming the entire community to celebrate this milestone.
Following the ceremony, the celebration continues with a ticketed Grand Opening Gala. Guests will enjoy a festive cocktail reception, dinner in the Clubhouse, live entertainment, and dancing to close out the night. The Gala is designed to honor the past, celebrate the present, and set the stage for the exciting future of the Performing Arts Center.
This week's edition of the American River Messenger features an article about the Fair Oaks Community Action Partnerships (FOCAP) and how many Fair Oaks organizations are working together to make the community better. Big shout out to Pete Schroeder for organizing and leading this group.
