Request
A request for 1) a special exception, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a 6 foot tall wood privacy fence in a portion of the front yard of a reverse corner lot and 2) a variance from the 15 foot setback to allow a fence adjacent to the driveway in the clear vision area, as described in Section 35-514(a)(2).
Executive Summary
The applicant is requesting the variance and special exception allow a six foot fence in a portion of the front yard of a reverse corner lot. The fence is erected within the Clear Vision area of the subject property's driveway. As the subject property is located on a corner lot, the owner built the fence in order to increase the area of the backyard. The Pinon Creek HOA approved the request in July of 2016. The request is the result of a Code Enforcement violation. During site visits, City staff observed a portion of the fence located within the public right-of-way. If the special exception and variance are approved, the owner will need to remove the portion of the fence within the right-of-way. The subject property is a reverse corner lot:
Reverse corner lots are subject to two different front setback requirements. Though the fence is built behind the vertical plane of the fa?ade of the dwelling it is still considered front yard fencing. The Unified Development Code permits solid screen fencing in the front yard up to three feet in height. The applicant needs a special exception to grant the six foot fence. The applicant stated that they expanded the fence into this reverse corner lot front yard for additional privacy and uninterrupted space to enjoy the outdoors.
