Fences maybe up to eight (8) feet in height in the side and rear yards up to the front building line of the principal structure. Fences abutting residential districts shall conform to those regulations applicable to the residential district. Fences, solid walls and hedges in the minimum front yard setback may be allowed through Site Plan Review or as part of a Planned Unit Development as determined appropriate by the City Council based on site suitability to allow for additional screening and/or as a buffer for noise reduction. The Applicant is proposing a security fence that is located in the front, side, and rear yards of the Subject Properties. The proposed fencing includes an 8-foot tall chain link fence with four sides parallel to the property lines. The proposed height is permitted in the Zoning Code though a Site Plan Review is required for the proposed location in front of the principal structure to be allowed. The fencing proposed for Subject Property A would be offset from the north, east, and south property lines and run along the west property line. Portions of the fencing to the north, east, and west of the water tower are considered in front of the principal structure building line and within the front yard. Fencing within the front yard is proposed to include the existing booster station and transformers within the security perimeter.
