PC : 11-5-87 <br /> TA-86-2 <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> It is recommended that the Planning Commission: <br /> 1 . Recommend that the Board of Supervisors adopt by reference <br /> the Negative Declaration prepared for TA-87-8 (Miscellaneous <br /> Text Amendments) ; and <br /> 2 . Forward TA-86-2 to the Board of Supervisors with a recommen- <br /> dation to approve the Text Amendment based on the Bases for <br /> Recommendation listed below. <br /> BASES FOR RECOMMENDATION <br /> 1 . The proposed Text Amendment is consistent with the General <br /> Plan because no new uses are proposed. <br /> 2 . The proposed Text Amendment will not have a substantial, <br /> adverse effect on properties affected by the amendment <br /> because the suggested revisions clarify and simplify existing <br /> provisions and make fence requirements more consistent from <br /> zone to zone. <br /> UPDATE SINCE THE 8-20-87 PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING: <br /> The Planning Commission considered the proposed fence ordinance <br /> on August 20 , 1987 (see attached minutes) . At that meeting, <br /> additional recommendations for revisions to the fence ordinance <br /> were offered. These were discussed by the Commission, and a <br /> motion was passed to refer these possible revisions to the Fence <br /> Subcommittee . <br /> The Subcommittee met on October 13 , 1987 , and reviewed three <br /> possible revisions: <br /> 1 . Raising the six-foot fence height maximum to seven feet in <br /> residential zones. <br /> 2 . Deleting the requirement for recessed gates in the front yard <br /> if there is adequate parking distance between the property <br /> line and the edge of the roadway pavement. <br /> 3 . Restricting side or rear yard fences from enclosing utility <br /> meters. <br /> After discussion, the Subcommittee recommended the inclusion of <br /> the first two items. The third item was not included. It was <br /> felt that this could be an onerous or impractical requirement <br /> -5- <br />
