6. 3' MAXIMUM HEIGHT FOR ALL FENCES CONSTRUCTED ON EL CAMINO REAL
CP Yost discussed the staff report dated 2/7/80 with attached map showing present code
requirements; he noted that this report was prepared in response to Commission's
concerns regarding hazardous fences on E1 Camino. Staff recommended Alternative 1
which would limit all fences along E1 Camino Real.to 3', whether located in the
front or side setback. Discussion included: the definition of a fence and/or hedge;
the matter of abatement of illegal fences and hedges; corner lots; the code provision
which would allow application to the Planning Commission for a fence exception; a
feeling that another hazard on E1 Camino was the parking of automobiles in the front
landscaped area. There was Commission consensus that the present code requirements
create a hazard and staff was directed to draft a code amendment in accordance with
Alternative 1 for Commission review.
