We, the undersigned residents of Fairfax County, call upon the members of the Fairfax County, Virginia Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors to amend the Fairfax County Zoning Ordinance to provide for the responsible keeping of chickens by residents within the county on residential lots smaller than two acres.

Problem: The Fairfax County Zoning Ordinance restricts residents who live on lots smaller than two acres from keeping chickens unless they complete 33-page application, pay up to a $910 fee, and gain approval following a public hearing. This represents a prohibitive burden as most Fairfax residents have far less land, yet many would like the benefits of keeping a few hens.

We, the undersigned residents of Fairfax County, call upon the members of the Fairfax County, Virginia Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors to amend the Fairfax County Zoning Ordinance and other applicable regulations to provide for the responsible keeping of chickens by residents within the county on lots smaller than two (2) acres.

As we checked deeper into it and spoke to the president of the board, we were told they've not even once had a problem with chickens anywhere, and that it's the same as having a dog outside. If kept in a coop and they aren't bothering any neighbors, there should be no reason not to be allowed to have a small amount of hens. To have to pay such an outrageous amount is uncalled for.

It is ridiculous that without a $435 fee (which is 7 to 8 times higher than similar fees nationwide), a 30+ page application, and an onerous, time-consuming hearing process I cannot legally keep even one chicken on my property, despite the assent of my neighbors (some of whom keep chickens on their slightly larger lots). But if I had just half an acre more, I could legally keep 64 chickens!! This rule is entirely arbitrary - if the number of permissible "bird units" (32 chickens = 1 bird unit) scales with acreage greater than 2 acres, it should scale with smaller lots as well, e.g. 1/8 bird unit (=4 chickens) on 1/8 acre).
