Chickens are NOT allowed in the PLPOA

From the original Declarations of Restrictions passed in the early 1970s, chickens, ducks, or other fowl are not permitted on lots smaller than 2.5 acres. This restricts all lots in the PLPOA except those larger than 2.5 acres in Martinez Mountain Estates and Meadows 2, 3, & 4. Consolidated lots 2.5 acres or larger in other neighborhoods cannot have chickens. Chicken coops or pens require approval and a permit prior to placing on any property and will not be approved for lots under 2.5 acres, per the Declarations. Violations for having chickens (or other fowl) will be strictly enforced. 

Political signs & flags may be in place 365 days a year, but must follow PLPOA rules.
