At the regular meeting of the Planning Commission on January 28, 2013, the <br />Planning Commission approved a "Work Plan" which provides an efficient method of prioritizing <br />projects and achieving the most important goals of the Planning Commission. The City Council approved <br />the "Work Plan" as presented at their regular meeting on April 12, 2013. <br />As a result, work sessions to discuss proposed modifications to the Fence Ordinance were held with the <br />Planning Commission on March 25 and April 22 and with the City Council on June 5, 2013. Key items <br />discussed related to: <br />• Updating the definitions section relating to fences; <br />• Fence materials allowed (as well as prohibited); <br />• Fence height in varying zoning districts (i.e. residential vs. commere iallindustrial vs. <br />public/recreational land uses); and <br />• Requirements/I imitations within the traffic views (vision triangle) <br />Staff has prepared a draft Ordinance for your review action.
