Horses shall be permitted on property zoned “residential”; provided that, the property is one-half acre minimum. There is no maximum number of horses permitted, unless county regulations of density or number apply. Horses shall be for personal use only; horses used for commercial purposes may only be kept on land zoned for agricultural use. Horses must be kept a minimum of 50 feet from habitable dwellings on adjacent lots. If the horse can interfere with or impact the neighbor’s fence or property, the horse shall be kept a minimum of ten feet from the property line, unless the neighbor waives his or her right to enforce this particular requirement, in writing. In order to minimize the negative impact of odor and pests on neighbors, horse paddocks and corrals must be maintained a minimum of twice a week.
