This is not my city but I find this article resonates with me.  I can see preventing a public nuance but poultry can be cage raised in a city without any problems.  When I was much younger I had cage raised quail in Mobile and none of our neighbors had a problem with it.  We moved the cages around over parts of our garden that were between crops giving us free fertalizer the next time we planted there.
The fact that these commissioners ignored the medical and science experts disturbs me.  It sounds to me like some of these appointed commissioners need to be fired including the one who dozed off with official business in progress.
By the way in my opinion having someone in the real estate business has no business being on a planning commission.  There is too much conflict of interest there from what I have observed in more than one city.

     Interesting reading and likely a part of the reason.  In my opinion another major part of the reason was the embracing of far right agendas and abandoning moderate views.

A bit of humor here and it raises a good question, what does the yellow light really mean under the law?
The  FreeDictionary.com defines it as:
traffic light
n.
A road signal for directing vehicular traffic by means of colored lights, typically red for stop, green for go, and yellow for proceed with caution. Also called stoplight, traffic signal.
The California Driver Handbook states:
Solid Yellow– A yellow signal light means "CAUTION." The red signal is about to appear. When you see the yellow light, stop if you can do so safely. If you cannot stop safely, cross the intersection cautiously.
The Alabama Drivers Manual states:
YELLOW...A circular steady yellow means clear the intersection. It follows a green signal. You must not enter the intersection when the red signal comes on.
All seem to disagree with the officer's definition and the last two are definitions provided by regulatory authorities.

Interesting experiment in my opinion.  I do recognize several of those game names from games we played in my youth.  I also remember climbing quite a few trees.  Playing them didn't hurt me or any of my friends.
