PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION <br /> Recommendation #4: Include a reference to applicable State and Federal <br /> agencies that regulate poultry keeping, including the State Department of <br /> Health (DOH), State Department of Agriculture (HDOA), and United States <br /> Department of Agriculture (USDA) to encourage adherence to applicable <br /> best management practices (BMPs) for household henneries. <br /> Reason: The County does not regulate animal health or biosecurity; these <br /> are handled by state and federal agencies. Referencing DOH, HDOA, and <br /> USDA helps clarify the County's role and guides the public to appropriate <br /> technical resources and best managment practices (BMPs). <br /> This helps minimize nuisances like noise, odor, waste, and pests, ensuring <br /> safe and compatible hen keeping in residential areas. <br />
