Sheffield Lake City Council unanimously sent the zoning measure on fowl limits back to a September work session to craft a new agreement. The proposal would cap residential fowl at four per property, require coops at least 40 square feet and 35 feet from neighbors, and faced opposition over lot sizes. Council President Rick Rosso urged continued discussion as residents like Cecelia LaFollette note practical concerns for existing flocks.
