Request
A request for a variance from the permitted fencing material, as described in Section 35-514, to allow a corrugated metal fence along the side property line.

Executive Summary
The subject property is located on the 3000 block of Briarfield Drive. The request is for a variance to the fence material being used along the side property line. According to UDC 35-514(6)(d), corrugated metal is a prohibited fencing material.

Upon the site visit conducted by BOA staff, the corrugated metal appeared to be unprotected along the top and bottom of the fence.

Code Enforcement History
A Code Investigation was opened on June 17, 2021 for Building a Fence Without a Permit. The property owner did have a fence permit, so the case was closed. However, Code Enforcement advised the property owner to apply for a variance for the fencing material.

Permit History
A Fence Permit was pulled on April 13, 2021.

Zoning History
The subject property was annexed by the City of San Antonio by Ordinance 18115 on September 25, 1952 and was zoned "A" Single-Family Residence District. The zoning converted from "A" to the "R-5" Residential Single-Family District upon adoption of the 2001 Unified Development Code (Ordinance 93881, dated May 3, 2001).
