F. PUBLIC HEARING:

(7) Consider Case Z-1159-09; an Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to revise Section 41.3K - Fencing Walls, & Screening Requirements. The proposed amendment would allow chain link fences in the A, SF-CE, and SF-E residential zoning districts, but not allow chain link fences in the SF-20, SF-15, SF-12, SF-10, SF-9, SF-8, 2-F, SF-A, MF and MH residential zoning districts.

Management Report for Z-1159-08

Mr. Edlyn Vatthauer, Planning Manager, presented the management report.

Chairperson Vaughn asked the Commission if there were questions of staff. Hearing no response, she opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone who wished to address the Commission either in favor or in opposition. There being no response, she closed the public hearing and asked the Commission if there was any discussion or comments.

Vice Chairperson Simerly stated that this proposed ordinance has been written to take some of the subjectivity out of the chain link fence requirement and alleviate some of the challenges faced by staff while interpreting the current ordinance. However, it is tough to write an ordinance that fits every situation and the chain link fence requirement has been no exception.

Chairperson Vaughn asked the Commission if there were any other comments or concerns. There being no response, she asked the Commission for a motion.
