Request
A request for a special exception, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a fence to be 8' tall along both side yards and rear property line.

Executive Summary
The subject property is a single family home in the North Central Thousand Oaks Neighborhood Association boundaries. The property is completely surrounded by single family residential. The property owner would like to add a 2' tall section of lattice at the top of their existing 6' fence to match what already exists on a portion of their property. The applicant states that portion that already exists has been there for nearly 30 years. Upon a visit to the site, staff noted that a portion of the existing fence was 8' tall (including the lattice), and the contractor has begun to install the supports for the lattice that corresponds with this request. Staff also noted and documented that there is a 30" elevation change between this property and the adjacent property which is being leveled by a retaining wall. This elevation change is less than the four feet minimum that would allow an 8' fence to be constructed by right.
