Tyrone Township planning commissioners are putting the final touches on a new ordinance that will dictate how many farm animals residents will be allowed to keep on their property.
The Planning Commission met online, Tuesday night, to make further text amendments to their keeping of animals for private use on residentially zoned properties ordinance. A 2-acre lot in Tyrone Township allows 1 Animal Unit, and the commission members past and present have been working on that animal unit factor for several months. For example, a mature cow was given an Animal Unit Factor of 1, but a heifer got an AUF 0.7, and a calf 0.2.
