Side and rear yard fencing on Lots 1-12 shall conform to the fencing plan submitted in Exhibit A dated "Received August 13, 1999". On Lots 1-12, solid privacy fencing is not allowed unless it adheres to one of the two following exceptions: (1) _except as shown on Exhibit "A" dated "Received April 6, 2005"; or (2) 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." DISCUSSION Staff believes all outstanding issues have been adequately addressed. Staff believes that the applicant has done a good job of positioning the proposed fences such that they would not be highly visible from Foothill Road, other public roads, and areas east of Foothill Road. Staff believes the proposal would meet the spirit of the WFRCOD regulations. Since the fencing would not be highly visible, staff does not believe that it would negatively impact the rural character of the development. Staff believes that the proposed solid fencing should be supported as conditioned in Exhibit B. PLANNING COMMISSION On Apri127, 2005, the Planning Coininission reviewed the proposed project. By a 4 to 1 vote, the Planning Coininission recommended approval of the attached draft ordinance. The Planning Commission added four recommended conditions of approval which have been incorporated into the draft ordinance: "5. A design for the solid fencing shown on Exhibit A dated "Received April 6, 2005" and additional landscaping by the solid fencing shall be submitted to the Planning Director for review and approval prior to the issuance of a Building Occupancy Permit for the lots on which the solid fencing shall be located. The fence design shall be compatible with the approved architectural house components and shall not include lattice. The additional landscaping species shall be ones which shall grow to a reasonable height and not obscure the solid fences. Staff will work with the developer to ensure fencing on the lots affected by this approval will have 30 days from the effective date of this approval to submit the required information to the Planning Director.
