Request
A request for a special exception, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a fence to be up to 6' tall in the front yard.
Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 5700 Northwest Parkway, on the corner of Silicon Drive and Northwest Parkway. The applicant initially requested an 8' tall open fence but is now requesting to erect a 6' tall open screen fence within the front property for security of their corporate campus facility and directing of traffic flow safely.
Because the property's "I-1" General Industrial District is utilized as a commercial use, the applicant must adhere to a 5' predominately open fence within the front property or obtain a special exception for up to 8' tall. The area is characterized as an industrial, technology, and university business park with multiple large lots fenced in entirely from front to back.
