Request
A request for a special exception to allow for the construction of a fence that is as high as eight feet high in the side and rear yard of the property, as described in Section 35-514.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located on the corner of Cincinnati and Calaveras, just west of Interstate 10. The building was vacant for a few years prior to the applicant's purchase and had been used as a haven for illegal activities. According to the application, the location across from a convenience store had a negative impact on his property. The applicant submitted evidence of trash dumped on the side yard, along with graffiti on the building. In his effort to address the habitual occupation of the property, he installed the eight foot fence and was cited by Code Compliance. His fencing does not qualify for one of the special conditions that warrant the allowance of additional height by right as the fence is not located along a street classification more intense than a Local Street, nor does the fence directly abut a residential property. He is seeking a special exception to keep the fence as constructed, and asserts that it has reduced the illegal activity in the area.
