E. Repealed by Ord. 2640.
F. On publicly-owned park properties, there shall be no minimum setback for existing structures provided that section 7.04.151 Animal Structures and Runs requirements are met.
G. Limitations. In Single-Family and Urban Recreation zones, the minimum land area required to maintain any large domestic animal shall be one acre, or the sum of the required land areas for each animal as listed below, whichever is greater. On publicly-owned park properties, there shall be no limit on the number of large domestic animals kept provided that RMC 7.04.151, Animal structures and runs requirements are met.
1. Cattle, pigs or oxen, one acre each;
2. Horses or ponies, one-half acre each;
3. Sheep, goats or llamas, one-quarter acre each; provided, that un-weaned young will not be counted.
Example 1: The minimum land area required to maintain one goat and one horse shall be one acre. Though the sum of one-quarter acre for the goat and one-half acre for the horse equals three-quarters acre, the minimum land area to house any large domestic animal is one acre.
Example 2: The minimum land area to maintain one pig, one horse and two sheep is two acres. This sum is reached by adding one acre for the pig, one-half acre for the horse and one-quarter acre for each of the two sheep.
H. Confinement. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent animals from straying onto adjacent property. See Redmond Zoning Code Section 21.24.050, Electric, Barbed Wire and Swimming Pool Fences.
I. Adequate measures shall be taken to properly dispose of animal wastes. Accumulation of animal waste shall be prohibited from being stored within the required thirty-foot animal shelter setback. (Ord. 2640 § 1 (part), 2011: Ord. 2596 § 2 (part), 2011; Ord. 1442 § 6, 1988).
