Oakland County | Planning, Zoning and Land Use - Virtual PLANNERS GATHERING

Backyard chickens have been a planning and zoning issue for years, with communities taking different regulatory approaches. Join us for a look at how Southfield and Beverly Hills developed their respective ordinances – and in the process kept the chickens from crossing the road and safe in their coops.

SPEAKERS
Susie Stec, Planning & Economic Development Director, Village of Beverly Hills
Thomas Paison, AICP, Deputy City Planner, City of Southfield
