Follow-up to the Fence Survey

Thanks for your help! A recent on-line survey initiated by the Planning Commission to get community input on the subject of residential fences generated over 50 responses.  The Commission is taking these comments into account in developing recommended fence regulations for the City Council’s consideration.  Based upon your  feedback, the Commission is considering allowing the 6 ft. height limit for residential fences in side and rear yards to be raised to 8 ft. through the addition of lattice, while requiring a public hearing to build new chainlink fences in the residential districts.  A draft ordinance will be posted on the Community Development Department’s webpage prior to the Planning Commission’s public hearing at 7:30 pm on February 10th, and you are invited to attend.
