Item 6b <br />PRZ-14, City of Pieasanton <br />Application to allow 42-inch tall fences in residential front and side yard areas with City <br />approval by amending Chapter 18.84 (Site, Yard, Bulk, Usable Open Space, and <br />Landscaping Regulations), of Title 18 (Zoning), of the Pleasanton Municipal cod <br /> <br />Also consider the negative declaration prepared for the application. (SR 02: ) <br /> <br />Brian Swift presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis strongly supported this Code change. She felt open fencing in general was <br />much more attractive than the usual redwood board fences. She was glad encouragement was <br />being given to allow people to be more thoughtful and creative architecturally. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti pointed out that Ms. Dennis lives in a development that has open fencing <br />and it works well. She has long supported open fencing and stressed its use in the Vineyard <br />Corridor. <br /> <br />Ms. Dennis opened the public hearing. <br /> <br /> A1 Wiemken referred to some gated developments that have five and six foot open fences <br />that look nice and asked how that related to this Code change. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said several years ago the City allowed six foot wire or wrought iron open <br />fences in the R-I-20,000 and R-I-40,000 district for front yards. In most other Districts in the <br />City, where the lots are approximately 6,500 sq. fi., those taller fences are not allowed in the <br />front yard. The Mohr/Martin area is zoned R-I-20,000. <br /> <br />There were no further speakers and the public hearing was closed. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to adopt Resolution No. <br />02-071, approving the negative declaration with a de minimus f'mding, and to introduce <br />Ordinance No. 1862, amending the Pleasanton Municipal Code, Chapter 18.84, allowing <br />42-inch tall open fences in residential front and street side yards. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Michelotti, and Vice Mayor Dennis <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: Councilmember Campbell and Mayor Pico <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Item 4k <br />Maintenance Plan for Bernal Property Public Parcels (SR 02:144) <br /> <br />James W.
