Do some JP residents risk running afowl of city zoning code?

By adamg on Mon, 01/16/2012 - 3:21pm

Jamaica Plain New Economy Transition is holding a potluck dinner on Thursday at which to discuss urban agriculture, under a title that would be sure to get Zoning Board of Appeals members and ISD inspectors clucking: Backyard Chickens and Urban Agriculture:

Come hear from local chicken expert about keeping chickens. Hear stories of urban ag in JP, and share your own adventures.

Last July, the Zoning Board of Appeals - chaired by Jamaica Plain resident Robert Shortsleeve - ruled JP and Roslindale residents could not keep backyard chickens because of the zoning in the neighborhoods.

The potluck begins at 6 p.m. at the Nate Smith House, 155 Lamartine St.

...just what JP needs--more filth, noise, and liberal pretentiousness!
