Soil/Health consideration for garden in old Chicken/rabbit area

I have an interesting question. I have a prospective client that is opening up a cafe and wants to turn the back area into an area for decks to serve food and for the clients to hang out in. The back area is a 50' X 50' area that was used as a "free range" chicken and rabbit "habitat". The person that previously owned it raised chickens and rabbits and they roamed freely in the area for many many years.

I have not done a soil test yet but I can just imaging that after all of these years it must be very interesting. I would guess that it would pose a health issue if we just went in and started building decks and planting plants.

How should I approach this project? I would of course do a soil test but I would imagine that the Health board/Restarunt board would need to some type of inspection. Any ideas?
