Somerville allows bees and chickens and set up the rules through a mix of zoning and health regulations.  

The rules are all liked from our document here : https://www.somervillema.gov/sites/default/files/abc-urban-agriculture.pdf <https://www.somervillema.gov/sites/default/files/abc-urban-agriculture.pdf>

Hope that info helps.

We are interested in how communities have approached this whether it be through zoning, health department regulations, or other options, as well as corresponding fees.
