First Thing: In Farmington, Planning Commissioners Consider Horse Ordinance

After council members enacted a ban on raising chickens earlier this year, the Planning Commission takes up the issue of raising horses.

Less than four months after Farmington city council members let stand a ban on raising chickens, planning commission members will consider an ordinance allowing residents to raise horses. 

At a 7 p.m. meeting today in council chambers, the commission will set a public hearing for the proposed ordinance. When officials discussed amending the city's animal ordinance in February, Patrick Thomas urged them to consider horses domesticated animals, rather than livestock.
