Request
A request for 1) a two foot variance from the four foot maximum predominately open fence height, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a six foot tall predominately open fence in the front yard of the property and 2) a three foot variance from the three foot maximum solid screen fence height, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a six foot tall corrugated metal fence in the front yard and 3) a variance from the prohibition against corrugated or sheet metal as a fencing material, as described in Section 35-514, and 4) a request for a 25 foot variance from the 30 foot side setback requirement, as described in Section 35-310.01, to allow a commercial structure to remain five feet from the side property line.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 5459 Castroville Road just north of Castroville Road's exit from Highway 90. The applicant was cited by Code Enforcement for building a six foot tall wrought-iron fence along the south property line in the front yard, and also for constructing a six foot tall corrugated metal fence along the east and north property lines. During the visit to the property, staff discovered that the commercial structure, which did obtain permits for construction, is located five feet from the side property line. Because this commercial use abuts a residential use, the commercial structure must be located 30 feet from the side property line.
