Animal structures and associated runs shall provide accommodation, environment, and security of animals at a standard that ensures their safety and wellbeing. Animal food shall be secured in a manner not to attract rodents. A chicken husbandry registration (this completed form) is required to house chickens on any property. The property owner(s) shall complete a chicken husbandry registration confirming that he/she has read and understands RMC 7.04 Animal Control and agrees to maintain the subject property and chicken husbandry activity in a manner that complies with RMC 7.04 Animal Control. Chickens shall be sheltered in a clean structure that is located no less than 15 feet from any property line. The minimum setback for a shelter and run is five feet from the property line when the shelter and run adjoin a church, school, or park property; a permanently dedicated easement or tract at least 10 feet in width; or a street or permanent trail or access corridor with a right-of-way at least 10 feet in width. The chicken shelter, run, and other structures such as feed storage shall not be located in the front yard and shall be screened from adjoining streets and access corridors. Redmond Zoning Code 21.32 Landscaping, Type II – Visual Screen applies as the minimum technique for screening. Animal waste shall be properly disposed of and not stored within 15 feet of any property line. The chicken shelter shall provide protection from the weather by providing a fully enclosed structure including walls, roof, floor, and securable door; from predators by being made of sturdy material; and from rodents by limiting small points of uncontrolled access, no larger than one-half inch. The chicken run shall provide protection from the weather by including a covered portion where chickens escape rain and snow and shall provide protection from predators and chicken straying by being made of sturdy, small gauge animal fencing along the sides and floor and include a cover of similar fencing or netting. Chickens shall be prevented from straying onto adjacent property. Redmond Zoning Code 21.08.230 Accessory Structures also applies to chicken shelters, runs, and other related structures.

Slaughter shall be for personal consumption only and shall be performed in a manner consistent with the RMC. Provisions of the RMC are not exclusive or exhaustive in reference to animal control. They do not provide relief from observing other and more restrictive provisions. Animal control codes and laws provided by King County and Washington State also apply. patio house property line driveway
