Kent City Council - Committee of the Whole May 11, 2021
Committee of the Whole - Regular Meeting Kent, Washington
Minutes
Board public hearing on April 26, 2021. Two members of the public
attended and expressed noise created by roosters and geese negatively
affects their quality of life and enjoyment of their property.
LUPB supported the rooster ban.
After a Kent Reporter article, additional comments were received both in
support and opposition to the ordinance banning rooster ownership.
Staff is seeking Council's opinion regarding seeking additional public
comment, consider limiting the number of roosters or allowing rooster
ownership in specific zones.
Councilmembers expressed a desire to obtain additional public input and
information before making a decision on adopting a ban.
Planning Manager, Erin George advised that the article on cockfighting
confused the issue. Code enforcement receives a regular number of
complaints/year.
Code Enforcement officers receive a huge volume of complaints but
indicate that it is difficult to enforce and are in support of a rooster ban.
George indicated that they will return to Council with more information on
number of complaints, suggestions on possibly limiting the number of
roosters or limiting to certain zones in the City.
Larimer reiterated that the issue at hand is noise, and she is interested in
finding out possibly how far the noise from these roosters carries.
Matheson advised there will be a social media invite for input during the
May 18th and June 1st Council meetings. He also indicated that staff will
work on gathering more information and returning to Council with various
options for moving forward.
MOTION: Adopt Ordinance No. 4402, amending section
15.08.070 of the Kent City Code, regarding the keeping of
animals, to specifically prohibit the keeping of roosters in the
City of Kent.
RESULT: NO ACTION TAKEN
