Marrero reasonable accommodation — three goats

Description

A 100% disabled Gulf War veteran won the right to keep three therapeutic goats on his R-1 lot, with manure, fencing, and no-commercial-use conditions.

Impact summary

Therapeutic benefit to the veteran household; neighbors testified there were no odor or fly problems, though the case reopened complaints of unequal treatment from the Jones family.
