WAITSBURG - Under a new city ordinance, the quantity of livestock a person may keep on their property now depends on the amount of open space available. For years the city has allowed an unlimited number of animals to be raised within at least a quarter-acre, or 10,890 square feet, of land, minus structures.

The buyer, Bryan Thornhill, owns property next to the parcel.
