*a SUBJECT: PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT FOR
rrn f
SUBDIVISION FENCE MATERIAL
In response to the City Council's request, staff is proposing a Zoning Ordinance text amendment
addressing allowed materials for fences/walls required along arterial streets for one and two-
family subdivisions.
The Zoning Ordinance currently allows cedar wood fences, which deteriorate more quickly than
other fence materials. The proposed text amendment would provide the following language:
1. "...minimum six-foot masonry wall of brick, stone, decorative cast concrete, wrought iron,
tubular steel, durable composite board with top and bottom rails, or other material with a
projected life expectancy of 25 nears or more along the entire length of
each property."
2. "Replacement of a portion of a fence shall match the existing fence material and design."
Staff has briefed the Development Advisory Committee and the Zoning Commission. The
anticipated public hearing schedule for the proposed amendment would be:
Zoning Commission November 14, 2018
City Council December 4, 2018
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Assistant Director, Planning and
Development, at 817-392-8018.
