privacy fencing be allowed at the Westridge project so long as it was not located in a required yard. At the tune the Westridge project was reviewed, some Commissioners expressed concerns about any solid fencing at this development (See Exhibit C). While the developer is allowed to install soiree limited privacy fencing outside of the required yard areas, it is requesting to install some solid fencing in the required yards of some lots to provide privacy primarily in bathrooms and bedrooms in the development. For this reason, the developer has applied for a PUD major modification to allow solid fencing in soiree required yards. The PUD major modification application is now before the City Council for review and action. In 2000, the Council indefinitely continued the comprehensive review of the proposed changes to the WFRCOD. Consequently, the Commission's proposed open fencing regulations for the district were not approved. The WFRCOD fencing regulations currently state the following: "All lots open fencing shall be required, except that solid, privacy fencing may be allowed in areas of a lot not within required yard areas if screened by landscaping." Since the Westridge subdivision is in a PUD, it is not required to strictly adhere to the regulations of the WFRCOD. However, as indicated above, throughout its inception, this project has been encouraged to meet the spirit of the regulations. . Site Description The site is located on the west side of Foothill Road; 12 homes are approved on the approximately seven-acre parcel. The applicant has installed open fencing on all of the lots. At the time this report was written, only one of the twelve lots had been sold, and this lot is not one of the lots with a proposed fence change. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The application is a PUD major modification proposal to modify condition of approval #13 of case PUD-99-O1, as shown below: "13. Fencing over six (6) ft. in height shall not be allowed on Lots 1-12. Side and rear yard fencing on Lots 1-12 shall conform to the fencing plan submitted in Exhibit A. On Lots 1-12, solid privacy fencing is not allowed, except when it is not located in a required yard and it is screened by landscaping. On Lots 1-12, fencing shall not be allowed between the front of the home and the property line except for low open fences thirty (30) inches or less in height." SR 05:132 Page 3 of 6
