Are horses and stables allowed in Rochester Hills residential districts?

Private stables accessory to a residence and public stables/riding academies have different requirements.

Private stable (§ 138-4.434.A): Planning Commission approval after public hearing; at least two acres for one horse plus one acre for each additional horse; side/rear yard placement; feeding and shelter at least 100 feet from property lines unless the specified waiver is approved; manure storage at least 100 feet from property lines.

Public stable/riding/hunt academy (§ 138-4.434.B): at least 40 contiguous acres; stables at least 300 feet from a residence; feeding/paddock and parking setbacks of 100 feet and the specified public-road access. Table 4 marks stables/riding academies conditional in the R districts, invoking City Council decision under § 138-2.301. Because the specific private-stable section names Planning Commission approval, confirm the precise path for a private proposal rather than treating every horse as a commercial conditional-use application.
