PHMC Article III, Chapter 1 regulates the keeping of animals. Livestock and poultry in residential zones are subject to restrictions including minimum lot sizes, setbacks from neighboring dwellings, coop/enclosure requirements, and limits on the number of animals. Roosters are typically prohibited in residential zones due to noise. Hens may be allowed in limited numbers on qualifying lots. All animal enclosures must be maintained in a sanitary condition. Port Hueneme's compact residential lots significantly limit the ability to keep livestock.
Keeping prohibited animals or exceeding allowable numbers results in Code Compliance citations. Animal nuisance complaints are handled by Animal Services at (805) 388-4341. Owners may be required to remove animals within a specified timeframe.
