Several other Iowa municipalities, including Des Moines, allow people to keep hens for eggs within city limits. I've never heard of a public nuisance problem. The main issue for the chicken owners is keeping predators away from their hens at night.
If the trial period is successful, maybe some city officials from Cedar Rapids can help Jill's chicken project along in San Diego.
