Ordinances regarding agricultural animals and fees for S-district site plans have been recommended to
city council by Bowling Green’s Planning Commission.
The agricultural animals ordinance would make law the practice the city has followed for many years –
such animals are not allowed to be kept in the city. The proposal revises an existing portion of the
zoning code.
Planning Director Rick Ketzenbarger have had owners remove a variety of agricultural animals over the
years. "The issue comes up once or twice a year," he told the commission.
No one commented during a public hearing that preceded the vote. Council will be required to hold its own
hearing before it can take action.
Under the other recommendation the city would increase the charge for S-district site plan review to $300
from $100.
Ketzenbarger said the fee would do a better job of covering costs the city incurs when reviewing the
plans.
There was also no public comment on this issue.
The commission set public hearings for its Sept. 2 meeting on revisions to the zoning code regarding rain
gardens and regarding storm water management.Ordinances regarding agricultural animals and fees for
