Do you know of any cities that have recently dealt with allowing or banning "urban" chickens?

I am looking for background on raising poultry (specifically chickens) within municipal boundaries. I know this is sort of a hot topic right now here on the east coast but wanted to see what was happening all over the U.S. Links to the stories would be wonderful.

Indianapolis has never disallowed them, although some outlying subdivisions have. It's a growing movement here.
