The Council of the City of New Rochelle hereby
finds that the keeping, permitting, harboring and/or raising of farm
animals, including but not limited to those of the equine, swine,
bovine, ruminant and avian species on parcels of land with inadequate
size and setbacks within the jurisdiction of the City of New Rochelle
causes offensive odors which interfere with the quality of life of
the public, property values and the public health, safety and welfare
of the community.
An offense against the provisions of this article
shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $250 for each and every
day a violation exists and continues or by imprisonment for not more
than 15 days, or both.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph or part of
this article shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, such judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate
the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the
clause, sentence, paragraph, section or part thereof directly involved
in the controversy and in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
