All buildings, including accessory buildings and structures, shall cover not more than forty (40%) percent of the area of the lot or parcel of land. C. ACCESS. All structures shall be on a lot adjacent to a public street or with access to an approved private street and shall be so located on lots as to provide safe and convenient access for fire protection. D. Limitations on the Keeping and Maintenance of Animals and Fowl. See Fountain Green City Animal Control Ordinance Chapter 13-20-0-00 and the following requirements. 1. Large, animal operations in the Fountain Green City and its buffer zone that are subject to Region 8 Federal CAFO (confined animal feeding operations) regulations which direct animal waste management to control water pollution should comply with such regulations. While dust, animal manure, odor, noise, and other factors are part and parcel with agricultural activities, viable commercial enterprises can reasonably be expected to control animal wastes, disease, flies, rodents, and other pests. 2. Smaller, animal operations in Fountain Green City and its buffer zone not under CAFO regulations are expected to use good husbandry practices to control animal wastes, water pollution, disease, flies, rodents and other pests, and nuisances (animals leaving property). In order to accomplish this, smaller operations will be subject to animal unit (AU) limits. Animal unit limits will not apply to transient farming operations of less than 90 days duration for such things as lambing, layover in transport to winter or summer pasture range, etc. A description of animal units is given in the table below. Table 7.5-3b ANIMAL UNITS (AUs) DEFINED Animal type Horses, mules, donkeys, zebras (Equines) Beef cattle, dairy cows (Bovines) Hogs and pigs or swine (Porcines) Sheep (Ovines), Goats (Caprines), Llamas (Camelids) Turkeys, Geese and Ducks Chickens and Rabbits AUs 1 1 0.5 0.2 Relative AUs 1 horse 1 cow 2 pigs 5 sheep 0.04 25 turkeys 0.01 100 chickens and 4, 7.3-2 AND 3 and 5, 7.4-2 AND 3, and 7.5-2 and 3 JANUARY 18, 2024. 7.2-3a, 7.2-4, 7.3-3, 7.3-5, 7.4-3, 7.4-5, 7.5-3a, 7.5-5 AMENDED AUGUST 15, 2024. 7.2-2, 7.3-2, 7.5-2 AMENDED JUNE 19, 2025. CORRECTED FORMAT AT 7.3-3 & Add 7.3-3C January 22, 2026. Other animals not listed in this table will have AUs determined by the Planning Commission on a case by case basis. Immature offspring of animals will be assigned 1/2 the AU value of an adult. For equines and bovines, offspring up to two years of age will be 0.5 AU. For porcines, offspring up to one year old will be 0.25 AU. For ovines, caprines and camelids, offspring up to one year old will be 0.1 AU. For poultry and rabbits, offspring up to six months of age will be one-half of the adult AU. For turkeys, geese and ducks this will be 0.02 AU and for chickens and rabbits, 0.005 AU. In keeping with the sensitive nature of the land in this zone, animal units will be assigned to property incrementally based on one AU per 12,000 square feet of land uncovered by any building. Half of an AU can be awarded for 6,000 square feet of land uncovered by any building for lots greater than 0.5 acre. See the following table.
