"grandfathered in" is a legal term referring to an exception to a new rule.
For example. Those who already had chickens before the law was passed to NOT allow chickens, may continue to raise chickens, as the exception.
If that makes sense.......

"Grandfathered" means that if a condition existed prior to the passage of a law or ordinance you don't need to comply. Just being ridiculous here, if you had 10 hens and a rooster and were in compliance with zoning laws at the time and zoning changed such that you could only one hen you could continue to have 10 hens and a rooster. Things could get a little complex for a new home owner if you sold a home but took your poultry with you..

There is a piece of property in Beaverton that has sheep and cattle grandfathered in. They're only four or five blocks from highway 217 and about ten from Cedar Hills. Yet they've animals out there fairly often.

Thank you for your input, but are their rules and regulations applied to hens in Hillsboros and are their dog parks?

Chickens in Hillsboro are still up in the air: Hillsboro will review rules about keeping chickens and other livestock within the city | OregonLive.com as best I can find. It looks like they're grandfathered in in some areas, but not allowed in others.

The only dog park I know about in Hillsboro is the Hondo Dog Park next to Laika and the Hillsboro Baseball Stadium. Hillsboro Dog Association : Hillsboro, Oregon : Home
