Landrum officials decided this week that allowing chicken coups were not in the city’s best interest.
Landrum City Council met this week and had on the agenda a request from Justin and Emily Brock for the city to amend its codes to permit chickens on residential properties within the city.
No council member made a motion to amend its codes, so the item was denied.
Council members briefly discussed the request during a work session held prior to the meeting and said the property was located within a subdivision with less than one acre lots and city officials did not think with potential noise the city wanted to allow the use.
