The Proposed Ventura County Ordinance: The proposed ordinance is attached 6. The Proposed Ventura County Ordinance: The proposed ordinance is attached as Exhibit 3. It would add a new article 9 containing regulations regarding the keeping of roosters to chapter 4, Animals, of division 4, Public Health, of the Ventura County Ordinance Code. The proposed ordinance is modeled after the ordinance adopted by Solano County in 2011 and was prepared with the assistance of the Sheriff's Office, Animal Services Department, the Resource Management Agency (Planning and Code Compliance Divisions), the Agricultural Commissioner, and the District Attorney's Office. The ordinance is essentially a nuisance prevention ordinance as demonstrated in section 1 (Findings) of the ordinance.

3 Planning Commission Staff Report Planning Commission Hearing on December 3, 2015 Page 3 of 6 the keeping of roosters in large numbers, and is directed at crime prevention by eliminating the supply of roosters for the crime of cock fighting.2 The proposed ordinance would limit the number of of roosters per parcel in the unincorporated area to four roosters. This limitation would override some of the existing provisions of division 8, chapters 1 and 1.1 of the Ventura County Ordinance Code (NCZO and CZO) which currently allow an unlimited number of roosters on parcels greater than 10 acres and up to 10 roosters on many smaller lots (Ventura County Ordinance Code, and ). The proposed ordinance requires compliance with the rooster limit within six months of adoption. This provision will override the existing provisions of division 8, chapters 1 and 1.1 of the Ventura County Ordinance Code (NCZO and CZO) which currently allow a threeyear grace period for some types of animal use nonconformities, plus extensions (Ventura County Ordinance Code, and ). These overrides only as to roosters are accomplished by the language in section 2 of the ordinance: "Notwithstanding any other provision of the Ventura County Ordinance Code..." The four-rooster limit would not apply to commercial poultry ranches producing eggs or meat for sale, public or private schools, or nonprofit humane organization animal facilities, or to County facilities. The four-rooster limit would also not apply to FFA projects, 4-H projects or legitimate poultry hobbyists, provided that those persons conducting such activities receive written approval from the Agricultural Commissioner. The Agricultural Commissioner is authorized and directed to adopt regulations and standards governing these written approvals. The ordinance also includes definitions of terms, additional standards for rooster keeping (no tethering; clean and sanitary premises providing shelter from the elements) and a 40-foot setback consistent with the NCZO and CZO. Violations of the ordinance are misdemeanor/infractions enforceable under existing provisions of the Ventura County Ordinance Code. B. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMETAL QUALITY ACT COMPLIANCE AND FINDINGS The proposed ordinance would place a a four-rooster limit on parcels in the unincorporated area of Ventura County (Exhibit 3), as described above, and constitutes a "project" as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (Public Resources Code, et seq.) CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3) states: 2 Cock fighting is a crime in California under Penal Code section 597b. 3
4 Planning Commission Staff Report Planning Commission Hearing on December 3, 2015 Page 4 of 6 (b) A project is exempt from CEQA if. if: (3) The activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certaintythat that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed ordinance will have only positive effects on the environment due to the reduction of noise, odor and criminal activity, the adoption of the ordinance will not result in any adverse physical changes to the environment and there is no potential for the ordinance to cause a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, pursuant to to CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3), the proposed ordinance is exempt from CEQA. Additionally, CEQA Guideline sections and categorically exempt from CEQA actions by regulatory agencies to protect natural resources and the environment. The proposed ordinance protects agricultural resources and reduces noise and odors and thus falls within the scope of these exemptions. No exceptions to these exemptions are present. C. FINDINGS FOR ORDINANCE ADOPTION AND SUPPORTING EVIDENCE The Board of Supervisors may under the County's police power (California Constitution, art. 11, 7) adopt ordinances in furtherance of the public health, safety and general welfare, including ordinances to to prevent nuisances. Based on the testimony before the Board of Supervisors on July 21, 2015, regarding noise, odors, and criminal activity associated with the keeping of large numbers of roosters, the adoption of the proposed ordinance would clearly promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of Ventura County by by eliminating nuisance conditions associated with rooster keeping in in large numbers and by reducing criminal activity. This is is reflected in in the Findings in section 1 of the proposed ordinance. Additionally, neither the Ventura County General Plan nor the County's zoning ordinances contemplate the allowance of nuisances and crimes. Therefore, the proposed ordinance is also consistent with the General Plan and good zoning practice. There are no other required statutory or ordinance findings necessary for the adoption of this ordinance. D. FUTURE ACTIONS If this ordinance is adopted by the Board of Supervisors, the rooster limits will not take effect until six months thereafter. It is anticipated that during that time frame the Agricultural Commissioner will promulgate regulations and standards regarding the Agricultural Commissioner will promulgate regulations and standards regarding the 4

Also, ifthe ordinance is adopted, the Planning Division intends to follow the Board of Supervisors' action, as soon as resources allow, with corresponding amendments to the animal keeping provisions of of the NCZO and CZO as to the keeping of roosters.

ZARAGOZA July 21, 2015 Board of Supervisors County of Ventura 800 South Victoria Avenue Ventura, CA SUBJECT: DIRECT COUNTY STAFF TO DRAFT AN ORDINANCE TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF ROOSTERS THAT CAN BE RAISED ON A PARCEL RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Direct County staff to draft a rooster ordinance limiting the amount of roosters that are allowed on a parcel similar to the one adopted in Solano County for potential adoption in the unincorporated area of Ventura County. FISCAL IMPACTS: Minimal Staff Time DISCUSSION For years Ventura County Sherriff, Animal Services and Code Enforcement Personnel have observed a large number of locations where they, suspect fighting roosters are being raised. Under our current policies, a parcel a is riot isnotlirnited to to the the amount of roosters that can be raised. The adoption of this proposed ordinance will give our Sheriff Deputies, Animal SerVice officers and Code Enforcement staff the ability to put an end to the raising of fighting roosters in our County. County staff has responded to numerous calls regarding large rooster farms in the unincorporated area. The noise and smells can create a public nuisance. This issue was brought to my attention by a constituent living in the Home Acres area. The farm in question has close to 600 roosters being' raised. After speaking with Agricultural Commissioner Henry Gonzales, I was informed that no poultry farm would require this amount of roosters. Rooster fighting has been a constant issue for our Sheriff's Department and Animal Services. These fights bring gambling, drug use and violence to our community. la) RdC/C1Cd RELjICINI Pnrmar P:44.1" 8
9 Board of Supervisors July 21, 2015 Page 2 Recently, the Sheriff's Department raided a rooster fight and arrested two men and one teen. They found 47 live roosters and 1 dead one. This ordinance will give our Sheriff's Deputies one more tool to put an end to this illegal behavior. This new policy is not meant to punish those who raise roosters for 4-H, FFA, or for Hobbyist or Businesses that raise roosters for sale. These cases would be approved on a case by case bases by our Agricultural Commissioner's Office. Adoption of this ordinance will give us the help we need to respond appropriately to rooster complaints. I ask that the Board support directing County Counsel and staff to draft an ordinance, similar to the one used in Solano County, to be presented and discussed at a later Board meeting for adoption.
