Request
A request for a 2 foot variance from the Beacon Hill Neighborhood Conservation District requirement that a fence be no taller than six (6) feet in the rear and side yard to allow an 8 foot fence.
Executive Summary
The subject property is in the Beacon Hill Neighborhood Conservation District. Under the updated NCD design requirements, no fence shall be constructed in the rear that exceeds six feet. The owner constructed an eight foot wooden privacy fence along one side and a portion of the rear property lines. The rear property line abuts an alley, and under the current zoning, an eight foot fence is allowed, however, NCD design requirements govern. The subject property is located on a corner lot, and side property line along the cross-street meets the required six foot height. The opposite side that abuts the adjacent residential property has the eight foot tall fence. The new fence replaced an existing compliant chain link fence. Also, since the construction of the fence, City Council approved updates to the Beacon Hill NCD requirements, including the height limitation of six foot fencing. Prior to this approval, the eight foot fencing abutting the alley along the rear property line would have been permitted without a special exception.
